Some good news at long last. I think everyone is looking forward to some degree of normality again.

Hey I might be able to get hold of some compost & bags of top soil, it's like gold dust around here unless you want to queue up at B&Q for two hours, I'd need a cup o tea & a chair to do that.

So you can go to the shops but you still can’t visit your friends or family’s houses.Unbelievable. Still too soon IMO.

B and M, and various supermarkets I believe should have bags of soil (I dont know if it is what you would need though).

Re the opening of most shops, unfortunately the authorities need to do something like this to control the self entitled and selfish. To start this opening it means that there will be a return some kind kind of normality and improve confidence. Possibly reducing the 'panic' buying/shopping as there was at the beginning of lockdown, and therefore a reduced risk of infection.

nothing I want to buy but good news if all goes well and infection rates don't climb. I do worry infection rates may climb, I guess it is up to us to make sure it does not

Do we believe the announcement was released only to distract everyone from the Cummings fiasco?

Yeah I usually get my top soil from there but both local B&M's sold out weeks ago. I ordered two 80ltr bags of potting compost from QVC in mid March & still not been delivered!


I reckon barbers/hairdressers will do a roaring trade, I wonder if our local barber is still doing 5 quid haircuts when he opens!
