strimmer_13 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Just now, Modafinale said: Same. We're closed (Town Council) on full pay for 3 weeks then a review, we will have a system of rotas come in to help change the bins and small jobs but out of the staff they are asking for volunteers to do a shopping run scheme for the elderly. It's in early stages and not actually set in stone as yet. Feel really sorry for anyone self employed atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheshirelad Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 My town centre is totally closed apart from food shops and the Post Office. I hope the folks in the affected businesses don't have to suffer financially, and that includes the business owners, because the smaller ones will really struggle to meet wage bills.

Watching north west news I was happy to see Preston was almost empty, a few people out getting some shopping, so hopefully the message is getting through.

Good news, i think at least some of the uk will be getting bad weather this weekend, if significant it remains to be seen. If we had rain like last year we might have seen an better compliance last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 My wife went to collect orders from Ashby de la Zouch this afternoon and she said it was like being back in the 50s. The shop was closing and had a load of sausages made which they were going to dump. We now have a goodly supply in the freezer ...waste not want not and a months supply of bread which we had ordered on a regular basis, not a panic buy.

Absolutely, the sun came out, mothers day and I think people were expecting a lockdown so it seems loads went out, hence being told to stay in.
