I’m thinking probably just section those areas off, they did do that in a few big supermarkets last time. People need clothes though?! I know this is quite a niche reason but for example I work with elderly people and a lot of them have recently come out of hospital and sometimes none of their clothes fit them anymore as they have lost a lot of weight from being ill. They can’t exactly just go on ASOS and order something and they might not have younger family members that can do that either. I really doubt the enforcement will actually happen, just the media hyping it up (I hope!)Regarding Wales and ‘banning’ sales of clothes etc, will it be actually enforced? Or will it be like first time round where it felt illegal to pick up a bottle of wine
Ridiculous rule- can think of reasons why people might need to pick up clothes during next 2 weeks, would they then have to explain at till why they are purchasing?!
Haha. Well I guess it depends what Tier / county / country you are in!Probably not be with our besties though
By Christmas god knows where we'll beHaha. Well I guess it depends what Tier / county / country you are in!

Tbh the last lockdown they enforced that here they just closed off the clothes dept and you would've had to squeeze through the barriers to get near them so would have got some funny looks if you dared,,Regarding Wales and ‘banning’ sales of clothes etc, will it be actually enforced?

I had newborn twins at the begining of lockdown 1 and was terrified! I didn't have enough baby clothes of bigger sizes and I ran frantically to buy 6 months worth of sleepsuits etc from Sainsbury's as so many online shops closed too or deliveries were slow. Seems a terrible idea to meExactly!
As soon as I read it I thought of myself as I’m due to give birth soon and loads of reasons myself or baby might need some impromptu clothing items at super short notice I might not have at home
Fingers crossed it’s the usual media hype!
Who decides what's "essential"?I get the monopoly supermarkets have during lockdown but wtf? I can see this getting out of hand again like all the ‘Easter eggs aren’t essential’ bollocks.
Supermarkets told sell only essentials in Wales lockdown https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-54648194
No, they ducked out of taking any actual action by deciding that either her test or her "to London" travel was before the legislation properly kicked in, or some such scam was pulled on her behalf.And yet as far as I'm aware SNP MP Margaret Ferrier still hasn't been fined or faced any police action after she travelled on a train from Scotland to the HoC in London while testing positive for the virus and putting many passengers at risk.
Funny old world
Who decides what's "essential"?
Is cake essential? alcohol? coca cola?
Probably not for actually sustaining life, but yes they are if life is to have any joy in it.
If the Welsh government want to dictate that people only buy essentials, maybe they should just close everything and hand out food packs to every household.

Very true! I wouldn’t like to hazard a guess!By Christmas god knows where we'll be
Cake is definitely essentialIs cake essential?
I had the vouchers and my last ones for the holidays didn't work (£210) I couldn't contact anyone with school being closed. Head teacher looked into it but said they can't do anything as the code for edenred had expired. He did say he has access to funding if we are struggling. Speak to school as they will be able to help, they can do a food bank referral or possibly have some funds available. Hope you're ok. XDon’t know if there’s a post related. But I was just told I qualified for the free school lunches when the children were off for a long time. Didn’t Claim because I didn’t no, now we’re struggling. Is there any backdate system or is it a case of if you missed it you missed out?
It's much worse that they pay £7,000 a DAY to each consultant working on the tracing app. That's equates to nearly £2million a year each. I'd like to know how they justify it.No cake onlyView attachment 284833
And many of these cafes and restaurants are in tier 2 & 3 areas so struggling themselves!Lots of pubs, restaurants and takeaways offering food for children eligible for free schools meals in my town. Very lovely to see. Many saying they need no proof and will ask no questions, just to go in and ask for a child’s lunch. If only our government was full of people that compassionate (or just with any compassion at all)
