I have quite bad anxiety and have panic attacks fairly regularly over nothing really. I can't go out on my own, I am a single parent. This is what I was dreading

Very good 👍

If people did as they were told from the outset this wouldn’t be happening. I’m afraid the few have affected the many.

I was queuing to go into Tesco today for quite a while getting my 77yr old dads shopping a family came to ask the security if they can push in husband wife 2 young kids he let them so there is no banning of anyone

That's literally date night at the mo!!

Good people need to shop on their own if they posssibly can, stores need to be spacious as they possibly can staff are putting themsleves at risk everyday for you!

paulturner2012 Doesn't social distancing applies to those you don't live with? I shop with my partner and we queue separately...job done.

GameroAbi look at this bullshit 🤣

It's a shame Sainsbury's don't ban Polish beef and buy British

titanicsno1fan That'll keep profits up as people have a trolley each & buy the limit each. More empty shelves. Must think we're stupid.

Seen it today ,get another trolly and go in separate!!😡😡😡

They can’t legally stop you.

The Co-op don't have any rules, or certainly the two I've visited, in Warlingham and in nearby Hamsey, seem to be a free-for-all, no 'one in, one out' policy, everybody just milling around as normal. coronavirusuk

I really don't understand this bol**cks

And yet there’s still some of us who can’t get to shops and can’t get deliveries.

There was plenty of couples in Aldi this morning, I left hubby in the car with the children and went alone but limited numbers in store saw at least 3 family’s of 5 people

But won't stop the other one going again later.

This Virus can Change ,any Moment ! And we have to live with it ,maybe Mother Nature will make Us ready for the Climate Change ? Because with Mouth Protection , and more Respect for every Human and animal on this Planet. We could live together , but forget Dictators who Kill !🌋

Great news 😊 single is the best way

Its temporary. Also ban use of the large deep trolleys.

Thats ok but what about elderly When they cannot get a delivery slot and need to go together to support each other. What can they do nodeliveryslots

Tesco in Clacton-on-Sea has no control anymore ,people standing too close and having mothers meetings in the aisles

Not helpful. I decide what we buy, and my husband deals with trolley and bag packing, as I am disabled.

Under what authority

Is everybody going loopy 🤔 Is it me , have we lost all common sense!! Time for my pills...

David8elly thanks

People seem to getting complacent and relaxing thier social distancing, perhaps that's why the officials think next week will be our highest death rate ? Because they know we will all be dropping out guard, dont get lazy, dont think it will be ok, keep your distance stay at home

About time as still like a family outing of parents who cant control their kids from touching products they aint buying and letting their kids run amok one parent stay at home with kids simple as .

Now that's ridiculous. The couple will STILL BOTH go round the shop, but separately, with different trollies and probably buy more than they would of bought if they were together.

Was this story from 1st April?

Does this work? looks strange😅

What a set of nobheads. I ain't gunna leave my husband in the car he's disabled

Thought it was ok if you were from the same household 🤔

My husband will be ecstatic
