Time was, that shopping thread would have stressed me right out. Crisps on a bench made me really anxious and I actually avoided sitting down in the park a couple of days later - not from fear of Covid, but of being judged.

This time, I sat down this evening with my popcorn and read it through, enjoying everyone from here and our allies work. Well done gang. Grin

And I followed one of the links to discover there has not been one single death in my postcode - though the data was a bit out of date.

I said to someone the other day I was looking forward to the marina pub opening so that I could sit outside with a large glass of sauvignon blanc looking over the water and boats bobbing in the harbour. They were horrified Grin

justasking111 · 15/06/2020 22:44

Two deaths in our post code in the bungalows development three roads below us. Full of elderly so it was more likely there.

Dowser · 15/06/2020 22:49

Ooh, have you a link to where you can check your postcode p,ease

DisobedientHamster · 15/06/2020 23:07

But when restaurants and pubs open, today will look like a calm oasis of reason and logic.

Oh, this will be like the liberation of Azkaban for Dementors! I can see it now, it will be a close race between the Temperance Movement calling everyone who needs go and had a drink in a pub an alcoholic and the Fat Shamers who just don't understand why someone doesn't just cook at home.

Nihiloxica · 15/06/2020 23:08

It sounds like I missed a lot of fun today.

I was on that thread, but I have the Chief Dementor muted, so I didn't see any of the really crazy stuff.

Nihiloxica · 15/06/2020 23:10

When the DUP have insisted that bars and pubs open in Northern Ireland before they open anywhere else in the UK, you know your lockdown has gone on too long Grin

Well if they dont understand the need to shop for shoes for your kids then they havent a hope of understanding a drink or a meal out!
Dowser · 15/06/2020 23:11

Thank you just asking
So there’s 2 in my postcode and 101 deaths altogether in the town
We have some quite poor areas, and we’ve had a lot of very elderly deaths
Like 75 plus

DisobedientHamster · 15/06/2020 23:13

Ah, but Willow, as was said on the shopping thread, there's no need to go to a shop to buy shoes for your kids when supermarkets sell them. Grin

Nihiloxica · 15/06/2020 23:14

Well if they dont understand the need to shop for shoes for your kids

You can make a perfectly serviceable pair of shoes if you freeze milk in an ice cube tray.

I can't remember the rest of the method, but I'm sure it works beautifully.

Willitneverend · 15/06/2020 23:24

@nilhiloxica No! You're not allowed milk, you need to use cheese!

But but but milk is non essential...will frozen cheese work?

Did anyone see the stuff on Twitter about Coco Pops being racist? That brightened up my evening.

justasking111 · 15/06/2020 23:26

Using the post code where my son was at uni. in the centre of Leeds there have been 0 deaths. That surprised me because other parts of Leeds have been hammered.

Willitneverend · 15/06/2020 23:26

Obv need to have coco pops with cheese. Yum.

Why do people do things like go to a busy shopping centre soon after it reopens and moan about other people being there!?

Willow2017 · 15/06/2020 23:55

Because its only open for them not other people!!

Our local Primark had a queue all down the High Street.
The power of social distancing Grin

We'll be filling up this one tommorrow. May I suggest a theme of Anti-Dementors need retail therapy Wink Certainly do after today!

LivinLaVidaLoki · 16/06/2020 06:13

How about "Anti Dementors - Taking our Patronii to Primark"

You can mute people??
Drivingdownthe101 · 16/06/2020 06:55

4 deaths in my small town. All in the care home, but I have it on good authority that 2 of them had tested negative for covid and had no symptoms.
