"Necessary" Shopping - Possible Police Basket Checks

[MrMarkyMark]

A bridge too far?

I agree, random browsers are still a real pain in some shops.......
Just get your, preferably listed, stuff and feck off out it PLEASE.

What is deemed a necessity exactly, I don't really know

UK Police:“We will not at this stage be starting to marshal supermarkets and check-in the items in baskets and trolleys to see whether it is a legitimate necessary item but...if people do not head the warnings...we will start to do that”

Fortunately we established early doors that booze was a necessity otherwise there'd be even more panic.

Maybe anyone buying organic quinoa or birdseed should fall down the steps in the back of the cops van?

If 'they' decide that beer and wine are non-essential, they will have riots in places that usually only do 'serious tutting'...

Aren't they the same thing?

Damn it. I'll have to start smuggling my digestive biscuits out in my underpants.

That's how I was smuggling doughnuts (I could only carry 6 at a time on a normal day, or 10 if my wife was feeling happy), until I realised that doughnuts should be in the top of your shopping bag, since they are essential cop food.

A bigger problem seems to be that families of four or more are still shopping together. Kids should stay outside.

So what if you're buying essential & non essential? Do you need to put the non essentials back? Who decides what's non essential? Shop staff? They will absolutely lap that up. They're already loving their little power trip, controlling who comes in & out.

Is that digestive biscuits in your pants or are you pleased to see me?

Personally, I would smuggle out a yard of jaffa cakes.....

Sensible souls keep 200 units of alcohol / person* in the house in these troubled times.


* This includes children, as they increase adults' alcohol intake requirements.
