Wales lockdown: Supermarkets told to sell only essential items
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-54648194

The only thing left for politicians to do is to seize the means of production and we'll have full socialism! Then the shelves really will be empty.

Probably just me, but the resurgence of the 'er' in poltician's public speaking is really cretinous.

The primary motivation for the creation of the site was purely to make mischief at the expense of politicians and for the founding author’s own self-gratification.

What a flipping mess Wales is in. Sky News reported a bloke walking into a shop in his underpants asking if he can buy some clothes. :lol:

Sturgeon has announced a new 5-tier system (no doubt because Boris' one has only 3).

Level 3 says pubs can open but not serve alcohol. What next?... offices open but no talking?

I don't have a greasy spoon near me. My options are a Wetherspoon pub with breakfast served on a plate by sexy waitresses, McDonald's or Subway. It's no contest. :)

I find the very thought of eating as much as you can quite stomach-turning. :)

I heard of a bunch of students that ate so much pizza the restaurant ran out, and they even had the cheek to complain! It was comforting to know that the manageress took no nonsense from them and kicked them all out. :D

You don't have to eat all you can you can interpret it as "eat as much as you want". :) I will always remember when my mum returned from a trip to the USA to see her sister. They took her to an all you can eat with a difference. To combat the waste that is inevitable in these establishments they had 2 rules ... you could only fill your plate once, no return trips and if you didn't eat it all what you left was weighed and you paid a penalty on the bill for wasting food! I thought it was a brilliant idea. :)
