    You dont need to queue if you're visiting the Asda pharmacy, they'll let you straight in.

    Cos the people who tend to shop at Asda are on average special.

    Sometimes you can do a Led Zeppelin.
    In through the out door.

    Edit. For the pharmacy, not as a queue-jumper.

    Don't forget to thank them for their help by spitting in their face and telling them to f.uck off.
    It's a mark of appreciation.

    We went to Aldi at cudworth we was told that couples are not allowed in together but I could go in after her I just stood there in amazement what’s the difference if we go in together or behind each other still going to be shopping together

    why are you shopping together?
    The point of the rule is to limit the numbers in the shop, the fact they allow you both in ‘seperately’ is bonkers, but you don’t both need to be there.

    Mrs Burgundy Red is a "trolley guider". I've been known to express the opinion that either one takes control of the trolley or one leaves it alone. Mrs Burgundy Red believes this view to be ample demonstration of a number of my character flaws, which are many and varied, particularly my inability to share and my need to be in control of tasks in which I'm involved. I've found that leaving the trolley in the middle of the aisle and wandering off to peruse the wine and/or cake sections does not resolve this impasse. Frankly, these shopping restrictions are a godsend for people like me.

    Queue for our butchers was almost 1 hour this morning. Partly due to them limiting to only 2 in the shop usually they have 3 or 4 serving

    Partly due to some people buying for several people. Had one period where it didn’t move for 15 mins

    Mrs F managed to do both the bakers and Tesco express before I had moved half the Q length. Queued for nearly an hour yesterday to get into our local Pharmacy too. Feel like something from history books with all this time in line. Fortunately we should be set for another week and a half now.

    Leave the missus at home for safety reasons. Minimise the risk.
    You'll also save a fortune.
    Win-win.

    Queueing at the Greengrocers on North Lane in Headingley has been the highlight of my day. I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts.
