Yes @Lyn. Macron was cleverer, knowing what the bloody Parisians are like. Didn't give them time to get really stupid.
Boris doesn't have the power to impose a lockdown now. His emergency powers expired a few weeks ago and Parliament wouldn't reinstate them, so he had to get a vote though Parliament before it could come into force.

That's the difference between a president and a prime minister. PM's can't go off half-cocked and I suspect a Boris might if there weren't brakes. Tony Blair too. One good reason for keeping the monarchy I suppose.

Can't see any 'safe' way to have our usual family Christmas this year so trying to organise a 'virtual' Christmas. Amazed and very disappointed at my two favourite food shops! Relying on food being delivered nowadays (daughters do their best but now back at work) but I really don't want a meat joint that will serve 12 people (what happened to the rule of 6?) or dessert for 8.
Have the SMs missed a trick here? How many Christmas dinners for 1 or 2 could they sell this year do you think?
Guess I will be making my own.

Thank you @BenCotto clearly someone is awake! I have found it v difficult to get a delivery from Tesco but I might try again now I have a goal
Sainsbury cancelled my first and only order for 'security' reasons ??????? and after a couple of other bad experiences with another SM that delivers I went back to my old favourites. It has been a steep learning curve this shopping by Internet.

Do you have any Co ops near you @herbaceous? They do deliveries in some areas. Ideal for small amounts too. I sometimes cut joints in half and freeze one half. Even small ones are often too much for us, although we don't do beef any more because of youngest's problem, so it's usually ham I do it with. Roast chickens last a couple of days anyway, and I don't mind eating it various ways.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
