Asda shopping Part 2

[a chesters]

In Sydney, we can have five (5) visitors at a time

Clubs and pubs are about to be allowed up to fifty (50)!!!!!!!!! people so long as  they can provide 4 square meters for social distancing. Will be going when we know which clubs are open. Will be well within four square metres of OH

Have done an Asda shop today for tomorrow and received the confirmation email which has the following - We set up your payment the day before your order. That way we can warn you if there are payment problems. We only charge you on the day.

Sometimes your order total changes after we set up the payment. For example because of last minute changes to your order, or the exact weight of your fresh food.

If so we’ll make corrections on the day. You’ll see these on your bank statement as extra charges/refunds. Some banks may take a few days to then update your account.

Perhaps Asda have been having some troubles with payments.
As regards refunds, mine have always been credited within a couple of days.

Strange way of doing it, makes it quite difficult for people to keep track of charges especially if they don't bank on line and have to wait for a monthly statement. The couple of times there were problems with my payment - once when I'd forgotten to update the card and the other when the bank had frozen it as they thought there was a problem, Waitrose called me to sort it out on the morning of the delivery.

Five's a crowd. (From "Solitary in Scotland")

Yes, the situation in Northern Ireland is different-
"Groups of up to six people who do not share a household can meet up outdoors while maintaining social distancing."

That's an even bigger crowd. I'll be able to see it from Scotland.
I contemplated pretending to be in England or Northern Ireland today and following their rules in order to meet with 2 people outdoors but didn't. They were from 2 different households - double flouting of guidelines.
3 men entered Tesco last night when I was at the checkout and headed straight to the booze aisle. I wondered if they belonged to the same household. I had a moment of anxiety when one approached the self-service checkout I was at. I bought a medium sized bottle of wine, equivalent to half a normal bottle. Enough for 2 people. Never seen them there before. Only 1 kind.

Have grandparents and grandchild taken DNA tests to prove relationship?
Are grandparent & grandchild allowed in ASDA together? (Other supermarkets are available.)

After Nicola Sturgeon's statement today we can meet in even bigger crowds than NI  -  8.

- Really confusing. I think we'll stay home alone!
