John Wright Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Rhumsaa said: Not saying I agree with this per se but in the interests of discussion... The legislation simply states food and drink so they haven't legislated a difference or quantified what is essential food and drink There could be an argument to say going for an ice cream is not essential travel but that would be going beyond what the legislation says And whilst it seems a logical step to start quantifying that (aside from the urgency of the lockdown legislation requirements) I think that would be like opening pandoras box for government overstepping control on peoples dietary choices Food for thought anyways (pun intended) Exactly Rhumsaa. You’ve identified the tension in the Regs. One set saying who can or cannot open their business, Davison’s always could. The other saying who could leave their homes and for what/when.

Donald Trumps Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 2 hours ago, WTF said: but were customers allowed to go there too ? i don't consider ice cream an essential food stuff. now that non essential travel is allegedly allowed for leisure activities i can see why the non essential ice cream supplier has opened up again, i don't see why the non essential McD's can't now open for drive through either. It would appear that McDonalds themselves chose not to open just for drive-thru takeaway Perhaps they thought it more financially attractive to close all operations, put the staff on 'furlow', & claim any cash available from the UK government schemes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hissingsid Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Someone has put a photo on Facebook and notified the police about people disrespecting social distancing outside the ice cream cabin. The photo has been taken from an angle from behind which looks as if people are standing close together some sad idiots around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
