And the shopkeeper just seems to please himself when to use one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t go for a meal and couple of drinks in a restaurant that’s got all the precautions in place but let’s all cram into a packed supermarket rubbing along side people but that’s ok as we won’t be drinking so can’t catch it Also I could be wrong here but I’m sure the Brussels sprouts I buy come from 15 mins down the road in East Lothian plus the shops will be well stocked with their Christmas foods already so this panic buying thing just makes people worse The media are a big part of the problem with the usual sensationalism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I was pointing out was the enthusiasm for conflating and confusing the Covid issue and Brexit. There are massive delays at for example LA ports with long queues of container ships offshore. Brexit is not a factor there. Nor as yet has it been a significant factor in disruptions here. And as far as I can see if a compromise on fishing rights between a three year and seven year transition period can be agreed which seems likely there won't be. But over on the Brexit negotiations thread people are exulting in the current port and travel disruption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Sturgeon is against Brexit and I'd guess in turn the exercise of national sovereignty on border control, but she's quite happy to pull up the draw bridge of her own borders and then have her say on what's happening between other borders that have nothing to do with her. I was just being flippant and facetious. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out for lunch with the wife today and it was excellently controlled, well spaced, Perspex screens in place even hand sanitiser on the table. Masks everywhere with tables thoroughly cleaned when someone leaves. Compare that to the supermarket earlier. People scrummed together in the aisles, constant invasion into personal space, people not wearing masks, picking things up, putting them back, no control on numbers coming at going etc. There was no competition as to which we felt more secure in.
