Because I've just been to tesco and brought a kettle. I've just had a bloke when I was stood in front to pay. Mumble about an 'essential kettle'

Did he know why I had to buy it. Did he plums!
It's not so I can go home and have a relaxing cuppa. Its so I can make formula for my baby. Because last night our kettle went bang!
We had to get hot water off the neighbour for this mornings bottle so I could then run to grab one.

Yes I think there's prob a fine line but I wish people wouldn't judge

You were in a shop wearing a mask, abiding by rules so you can buy what you like as long as you’re not stock piling which you weren’t AND if a kettle was classed as non essential then they’d have closed off that area as they did at one point when trying to stop people from shopping for non essential things In order to speed up the time customers spent in the stores.

A-holes always think they know everything about everyone’s life instead of keeping their mutterings to themselves

There was a lot of speculation about why she considered those items essential Grin
