The online situation is still dire but the live supermarket issue has been dealt with albeit in a (probably necessary) draconian way. My wife went to Tesco’s this morning and had to wait in a slow motion line for 45 minutes. Once inside, everyone had to move down the aisles in a pre-formed pattern with personnel urging everyone on as quickly as possible. My wife found it so unpleasant that she decided that would be it for 3 weeks.
Lets hope, George, that on this issue at least we don’t, as we seem so often to do, follow the pattern of behaviour of the USA:

Just this minute back from Sainsbury’s. Modest queue yesterday, none today.
