As many supermarkets have pledged to keep the first hour for the vulnerable, the best time to get the best pick of the stock at just after 10 am I reckon.

Being as my lemons were for my wife, who has a cough, to make Hot Toddy's it was for an OAP who was self isolating. Apparently if they'd had bags of lemons I would have been allowed 3 bags.

Are you planning to drink this soon?Originally posted by SueEllen View PostI was in Sainsburys the other day. They had tonic!
I also purchased another bottle of gin.
The checkout assistant looked very amused.
A number of people I know have stopped drinking if they are 45 or older. Alcohol really impacts the ability of the immune system to respond and in this pandemic it's probably advisable to concentrate on getting as fit as possible rather than boozing.
The older you are the more you should try keep fit for the next few months. I'm just being direct and honest.Comment

In fairness lots of British people think their diet is excellent and they're fit, but don't realise that their boozing and bad diet is actually the cause of most of the ills as they age.
One look around the supermarket last week confirmed that the UK is likely to be much worse hit than Italy. I hope it is not so, but deep down I think we know it's true.Comment
