    Oh yes. But you have to queue to get in, and keep 2M apart at all times. Shops are limiting customer numbers, and only let a new one in when one leaves.

    good. makes sense. some places here are now implementing the 1 for 1, entry rule. 6 feet(2 meter) distance, same here. basically you are not allowed here to just walk around aimlessly, or be in groups of people, without attracting the coppers.

      If it isn't true, is sure is a good lie! What is not a lie is Electrolux vacuum cleaners, marketed under the slogan "Nothing sucks like Electrolux".

      Yes, it was the British importer that used it in the UK. And the people at Cogent Elliot were fully aware of the double entendre.

          Suppose you are under lockdown - you probably are - but you fancy having a party anyway. You'd keep the music down, close all the curtains, or live in a house miles from the neighbours, yes? Not in Englands third most populous city you don't: Coronavirus: Greater Manchester Police warning after 660 parties shut down - BBC News[^] 660 parties in a weekend, some with fireworks (so the police can spot you from further away), DJ (so the choons are nice'n'loud), or bouncy castles ... or to be really obvious, have it outdoors as a street party (166 of them!). Don't warn 'em - arrest 'em, and put them up before a court on Monday morning ... A weekend in teh cells counts as Social Distancing, doesn't it? :laugh:

            Yes, something about a special zone for criminal gangs in New York, and they somehow kidnap the President. I think Mel Gibson plays the hero.

            Escape from New York?  It had a much better actor in the lead role.

              The one woman waited until the police had left, and restarted her party. So she finished the celebrations in a gaol cell.

                  Those warnings wouldn't be there if it weren't for lawyers. All such warnings, and the lawyers who provoke them, are an abomination because they subvert natural selection.

                    Sure, but judges who don't have the sense to dismiss such cases with prejudice are almost all former lawyers.

                          Yep, same as Griff. Every lockdown I've seen allow going to at least the supermarkets and pharmacies and booze shops. We also have smaller local food store open like bakeries, butcher shops, fruits and veggies open. Most have the usual rules, queue outside, 2 meters apart, limited to 6 or less clients inside at the same time.

                          I'd rather be phishing!

                            We are allowed to go for walks/bike rides as long as we keep 2 meters or more between people; major streets are being updated to reduce car space and allow more space for pedestrians. Familly and people living at the same address are allowed to be more than 2 persons.

Not in Englands third most populous city you don't: Coronavirus: Greater Manchester Police warning after 660 parties shut down - BBC News[^] 660 parties in a weekend, some with fireworks (so the police can spot you from further away), DJ (so the choons are nice'n'loud), or bouncy castles ... or to be really obvious, have it outdoors as a street party (166 of them!). Don't warn 'em - arrest 'em, and put them up before a court on Monday morning ... A weekend in teh cells counts as Social Distancing, doesn't it? :laugh:

                                      Except that the cells are overcrowded and don't allow for distancing. Apparently, many jails in the US are releasing people early to try to alleviate this. But year, WTF? People are dumb.

                                        Look up Adam Ruins Everything's episode on Stella Liebeck: https://www.langspace.com/en/video/10562571681662260[^]. That was a legit case of negligence. It just got promoted as a frivolous lawsuit. Bond Keep all things a simple as possible, but no simpler. -said someone, somewhere

                                          Correction, the warnings wouldn't be there "but for" Darwinism...i.e. those who are nominated for the Darwin Award. ;P
