To show you how serious this is, Boris Johnson just spoke from a script for eight minutes without a single deviation, joke or random Latin/classics reference.

Bit of a catch 22 situation. With all restaurants etc closing then more people will be hitting the supermarkets.

Are online shops still allowed to operate?

Yeah.

Not sure whether that went far enough or not. Still a lot open to interpretation, particularly the ‘essential work’ clause. Will see how this plays out

This all because of the selfish people going to the beach and snowdonia.

3 weeks is a long time. Necessary. I genuinely don't know how it will be policed. I suppose it's down to adult responsibility. People will still go out.

I can tell you how it’s policed here...,

There are very few people outside. The police are patrolling in cars everywhere . They stop you and ask you what you’re doing. If you’re food shopping you need to show a receipt . They pull over cars and ask, thing is your “lockdown “ isn’t really that. You can still go out and exercise. Parks are open. None of that here. You can only go out to buy food and only one person per car. Goto the pharmacies or walk a dog once a day 50m from your house. Police are everywhere here enforcing it. You get caught outside twice it’s 3 months in jail. In the bigger towns and cities it’s the police and the army.

I don't have much confidence in our police force, but I hope they prove me wrong. They need to prove me wrong.

So, my car was booked in for an MOT tomorrow. How likely is it that that won’t be possible now? If I don’t get it done, I won’t be able to drive when necessary. Sod’s law eh.

They haven't mentioned petrol stations either. Tyre centres, what if you get a puncture driving to the supermarket?

I wondered that. Shopping list as alibi? Or maybe they escort you there and make you go in?

You can now only go to your local shop. They are not even letting us leave our village to go to a big supermarket. We have to shop in a Spanish version of a Tesco express. The police are reasonable, if you are legitimately on your way to the shops with a shopping bag they are fine. But if you’re taking the piss and just wandering around your fucked. The thing is people don’t want to be out. It’s not safe . They don’t want to get ill. They have respect for the police and more importantly in this case health workers. 10% of deaths in spain are doctors and nurses. There doesn’t seem to be the sort of idiotic behavior you seem to have I n the uk here. 4000 people a day are testing positive. The hospitals are full. They are no longer giving ventilators to over 60s as they have to make a decision on who has more chance of living. Someone over or under 60. That sharpens a nations mind

I picked a great time to move i to the country. Fuck all police around and I can walk through fields with not a soul around miles.

Pocked up a rescue dog on Friday as well so he will be getting a fair few walks. Took him on two today and saw no one the entire time!  Smiley
