    Due to social distancing there are only so many people allowed inside meadowhall at any time. Fair enough to be honest but the problem is that inside the stores there is no social distancing, shops have been allowed to keep narrow aisles that force people to brush against each other so it's impossible to maintain the distance and instead of allowing people in to walk around the centre they are instead forced to queue all together with no distancing at all. Surely you're more likely to catch something huddled together in a queue for 45 minutes than you are passing someone outside Argos.

    There is absolutely no point n restricting trade if the restrictions are more dangerous than that they are trying to prevent

    Agree ST. The rules make no sense with people just walking up and down in shops in very close contact. It's mayhem in some shops in town with people desperate to het their Christmas shopping done

    Only ever go to the cinema and have some snap before. You'll never see me in the place for anything else. My better half also hates the place so it's all good.

    This is my argument as to why pubs/restaurants should be allowed to open.

    Village where I live had it down to a tee. Safest place I feel rather than a supermarket

    Socially distanced seating with bar staff coming to you and contactless payments and nobody stood st the bar.

    Explain the logic someone and show me the science and stats to a counter argument.

    I went a few weeks ago when only the essential shops were open. It was amazing. I bet I saw 30 other people whilst I was there, and I include shop staff in that.

    Never understood these quotas, what if every bugger heads for the same shop!
