you must have a Mask on.

Its one of the safest environments to be in and they will be able to social distance so not sure what the issue would be with that?

Dutch Publish list of safe holiday destinations for us this summer, 16 countries in europe got green light

Britain and Sweden remain on Amber List, meaning you can't travel there

code yellow are: Germany, Italy, Portugal, Croatia meaning safe to visit but you need to stick to coronaregulations in the specific country

Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Ireland among the countries who will go from amber to yellow from July 1st

Denmark is on amber list, because it has not been said yet if dutch tourists will be admitted there, and officials are still advising against travel outside the EU


Islands
Hans Mosselman, who runs small holiday firm SolFly, told the paper that the sector itself should be more active. ‘There is less likelihood of catching coronavirus in tourist destinations round the Mediteranean, such as the Greek, Spanish and Italian islands and Portugal, than in the Netherlands,’ Mosselman said.


school holidays here are expected to start at end of June, in Northern region

It’s before they go in and after they leave the park I was wondering about...

No one can be that desperate for a new pair of trainers... surely...?

That said, we did take the kids for a Happy Meal the first day McD's opened back up, and queued for over an hour looping round a car park.

The nuggets weren't even fresh .

The queue outside Primark in Manchester this morning was miles long at 8am apparently.

Travis Perkins to close smaller branches
165 of them.
And to cut 2,500 jobs in the UK
due to Covid-19.

The queues around Nike/Sports Direct are supposed to be immense,

don't underestimate how much of a consumer society we are

both those stores are online, can really only understand people queuing up for Primark which has no online presence..

i'm staying within my bubble until i see how it all pans out. If people are happy to go out and ignore social distancing, good luck to them and their families

Primark!

I guess it's just the novelty of getting out shopping? I bought 90% of non-food-stuff online before lockdown anyway so I don't really get the appeal!
