    Don't bother coming to Wales; the hotels, pubs, cafes, restaurants, piers, tourist information offices, libraries, public toilets and most tourist attractions are still closed.

    Police should impound the cars of the muppets who still think it's OK to drive in, or into, Wales.
    and anyone towing a caravan

    Caravans should be impounded if they are on the road during a months with a vowel in it.

    I was in our local co-op purchasing essentials - Jaffa Cakes. :D  They had 3 options (1) Pack of 12 for £1, double pack but 2 x 9 at £2.16 and triple pack of 30 at £2.70.  Almost need a maths degree to work it out.

    It's the same here - Cumbria police are getting scunnered turning people back trying to get in up here too,as well as into the Lakes. I haven't heard if it's any different up the east side on the A1 etc, but of course - they're trying to get up the west coast. They've been trying it for weeks, well before the guidance changed. 

    What do these people not get about the different guidance in Wales, Scotland and NI? 
    You'd need a fair bit of effort to get across to NI, right enough, unless you're in Eire.
     
    We've had some changes announced today anyway.

    Does the Co-op not display the price/g on the shelf label @KT53 ? I always used to check these details back in the old days when I was allowed to go shopping. I got an A in 'A' level Pure Mathematics ** years ago so I notice these things  :D

    We had a good downpour this night, a solid continuous 10 minutes of torrential rain. And the soil is still very dry today. I just don't get it. Hope for more tonight but with our luck, it will end up with another lost bin and no significant amount of rain.

    Maybe their waistlines are more important than their bank balance @Hostafan1 :D

    they could take one of the packs out and give them to a neighbour, or the food bank?

    None of those places are open in Cornwall either.
