How are you going to pay? Hmm

DrSheldonCooperPHD · 17/03/2020 16:46

How will you pay and get your ice cream whilst standing well back?

BeansOnToast4T · 17/03/2020 16:47

no.

OtherVoicesOtherRooms · 17/03/2020 16:47

Are you in quarantine or aren't you?

lubeybooby · 17/03/2020 16:47

no. they tend to take cash only

Snowflakes1122 · 17/03/2020 16:48

Erm no. That wouldn’t be self isolating!

Thisismytimetoshine · 17/03/2020 16:48

Is this yet another of your “just wondering” musings?

ruddydogg · 17/03/2020 16:49

No. Stay at home.

DitheringDoris · 17/03/2020 16:50

Do you really have to ask? NO!

TheCanterburyWhales · 17/03/2020 16:51

Is there something about the word quarantine you don't understand?

bananabob · 17/03/2020 16:52

Lol

Serenschintte · 17/03/2020 16:53

No, quarantine means stay home. Go into garden if you want. No contact with outside world in a physical way. If you want shopping ask ppl to leave it out side the door

Yogawoogie · 17/03/2020 16:53

Grin stop being such a plank.

Lardlizard · 17/03/2020 16:54

Ok fair enough

No.

No you don't, Christ. Stay in your fucking house. My 6 year old nephew managed months of protective isolation during intense cancer treatment and he was stuck in a box size room in a busy hospital. You have all of your home comforts. Selfish arseholes.

Lardlizard · 17/03/2020 17:03

I haven’t actually done it though have I ?!

It depends. How long is your arm? If it's over 2 metres go for it.

Are there any other really obvious questions you are struggling with at the moment?

Hmm
Lardlizard · 17/03/2020 17:03

Just simply thought about it!

Op you're going to get crucified on here and rightly so.
People all over u.k worried about either dying themselves if they are high risk or a dear loved one who is and your worried about ice cream.

TaterWaffle · 17/03/2020 17:11

Does a thrice cream involve three scoops? It’s probably worth the risk for that much deliciousness.

In fairness I am really poorly at the moment and just heard the ice cream van (maybe we live near each other!) and the thought of a frozen ice lolly was so tempting. I didn't make the mistake of allowing myself to seriously entertain it though, or the even more foolish mistake of asking MN Wink

Marieo · 17/03/2020 17:12

NO.
