My friend who works in Asda just put in the group chat fireworks aren't being sold.
I've very happy as lots of poor animals are petrified of them

I’d say off licences are essential since they do sell a fair amount of essential items. During the first lockdown it was one of the very few places you could actually by toilet/ kitchen roll where I lived since all the bigger supermarket chains were always completely wiped out. I don’t see why they should be closed?

I actually don't want them sectioning off any areas of shops to decide for people what is and isn't "essential"
However I just find it a really bleak painting of our society when new underpants are considered non-essential, but a bottle of MD20/20 is a staple requirement. |

That’s actually great to hear. My dogs are fine with fireworks but it must be awful for animals that are left outside all the time (horses and stray foxes for example).

A supermarket in Wales, with non-essentials being covered up with Dexter plastic wrap.

I get it. They only want people going in the supermarket if shopping for food, it's not hard. They don't want anyone popping in for homeware, as said they can order those things online if that desperate.

Speaking as someone who worked in a shop that was considered essential when everything was locked down, this is an excellent idea and I support it fully. We were considered essential because we sold certain essential items but during the lockdown we were constantly selling out on decorating and gardening items as well as other pointless fluff. People were coming out to the shops for no good reason.
Non-essential areas should be roped off in times of lockdown. |

Yeah who needs duvets, we can huddle together for warmth! Or skin a mammoth if it comes down to it.
Utterly ridiculous. I get it for some items but some of their definition of non-essential is ****ing stupid. Clothes, bedding and many non-food home items are clearly essentials if what you have gets unexpectedly broken or damaged. |

She does have a spare pair of trainers now though . Actually I say she does. She DID. Because another ****ing shoe got chewed on Wednesday! They got dirty so they were sat in the kitchen (where the dog lives when we go out) and we stupidly went for a Starbucks drive through and she had got one of them . She had also gotten into the recycling bin. I need to make her some sort of padded cell. |

Sounded just like that to me, I didn't get an apology when you misinterpreted me so don't hold your breath.
