mjmooney Posted March 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2020 Morrisons this morning wasn't too bad. The only things on my list that were totally sold out were lentils and tinned tomatoes. Surprisingly, their cafe was open - and full of old folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At our kids school years 7,8,9 aren't at school, years 10,11 and 6th form are. So in our household we have 1 off and the other at school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a good point , has anyone considered the impact on motorway service stations and garden centre cafes if all the old folk have to self isolate ?

What with the method of polishing the ball, the ball being thrown from fielder to fielder, the ball going into the crowd, the players changing rooms being a cramped mess of kit everywhere.... Cricketers should be allowed to be immune so we can have the best sport carry on and I can be less bored. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
