What would be the perfect timeframe then to give the public as notice? They give less than 24 hours and this rush happens, they give a week or more and still a mad rush happens so what are they supposed to do? it's always going to be a damned if they do damned if they dont situation.

Imo there isnt a perfect timeframe, there isnt a perfect solution to any of the issues and there isnt an ideal scenario that's going to suit everyone, the fact is it's an ongoing ever changing never seen before situation we are in, there is no rule book telling anyone how to deal with it and what to do next and the same applies to countries worldwide it's not just the UK government that have made stupid slow decisions throughout all of this and most people wont deny that but its this added to the ongoing stupidity and selfishness of the public that's causing issues and the blame certainly doesnt lie solely with one party.
