Busy or most folk in work or self isolating? So quiet? Tough call but i need to go in.....what do you reckon?
They’re queuing outside JD Sports and Primark already.
Queue reaches Caerphilly
They're opening, are they? if you need to go, then go. Why do you need to ask the question?Originally Posted by goats

I’m trying to gage how busy they might be.....thanks for your concern
It's a Monday, it should be quiet and people should only be travelling 5 miles. But, kids home from school, many still on furlough, I can see it being busy tomorrow.
Couldn't think of a worse way to spend the day though, queuing to get into a shop, being told to take items home just for touching them. I don't mind going out shopping, but I think I'll be doing it a lot less from now on.
I'm not concerned
Just knocking up a nice long report for you to read later twerpo ok.I'm not concerned
I won’t bore you with the details too much but for anyone else this is what I noticed....
It was very very quiet
Lots of shops still not open
The only queue I saw was for next before it had opened, all gone by 10.30 and a lot of stuff on sale well cheap
Initially, seemed like every loon in Cardiff had descended on Queen street at 9.30 with an old guy belting out bing crosby tunes on a load speaker which you could only just hear due to some African looking dude who appears to have lost his mind sitting on the floor outside boots, just shouting ineligible stuff constantly. Not too many homeless folks, but enough loose units to keep you in your toes.
No queue in Game so all sorted for my boys 9th birthday next week👍
Plenty of one way systems but so few people it didn’t matter.
Make sure you have a pi$$ before you go....

Fair play to goats, he did well with that one.
I can still tell you care you know.....
Cheers
Congratulations to Cardiff Council, who have managed to defy all of the odds and make the reopening of non-essential shops in the city a cause of irritation as opposed to a morale boost. The useless twats have closed the main road through the city centre until further notice for no apparent reason. They are claiming they've made this move to ensure public safety when in reality all they've done is make life more difficult for all concerned. It's a complete overreaction and will achieve absolutely nothing other than to cause confusion and piss a lot of people off.
Ridiculous idea to push traffic into residential areas instead of carrying on using a perfect thoroughfare. What is the bus situation going be? Three point turns at the bottom of Kingsway????
Last night they were actually suggesting that would be the case. I said to my partner that there wasn't a hope in hell that would work. As if by magic, they apparently abandoned the idea mid-morning because the buses couldn't turn properly. Now they are starting and stopping in Greyfriars Road, or at least I believe that's the plan. At 3:30pm when I was attempting to get home from work there was no sign of either of the buses I usually catch and the driver of the Rhiwbina bus I got on instead didn't have a clue where the others were supposed to be picking up. Neither did the relief driver for the 27 Thornhill bus, who was wandering around like a lost sheep.
The Castle Street closure will enable the build of a covered, outdoor seating area on Castle Street and in the Castle moat. This area is being designed for local restaurant and cafes to use. It will help them reopen their businesses and serve customers they would otherwise lose because of social distancing requirements on their premises.

As far as I can gather, these morons have closed the main route in and out of the city centre for the rest of the summer so that they can build a glorified gazebo to be used by a small number of people when the weather's good. Brilliant. Imagine the disruption caused by road closures on rugby international day, only this will last for three months. Utterly ridiculous.
You've left out giving local businesses a fighting chance at not going under out of this analysis. Also, if it's under cover then the weather won't need to be good. It's a pain in the ass for us drivers for sure, but it's been a pain in the ass for businesses to be closed for going on 4 months through no fault of their own too.
How many businesses? Employing how many people? At what cost to the public? And how many businesses all over the city centre will be negatively affected by the transport restrictions?
Also, do you really think a significant amount of people will go into the city centre to sit in a glorified gazebo and eat and drink when the weather's either mediocre or poor? Yeah, right.....
Hey, if we genuinely think this is a good idea, then why not close Heol-Y-Deri, the main road that runs through Rhiwbina, so that the Juboraj restaurant and the bakers and cafes in the village can set up tables and chairs in the middle of the road? And why not close Merthyr Road that runs through Whitchurch, where there are lots of bars, cafes and restaurants? I'm sure they could all set up in the middle of the street too. So why not? I'll tell you why not - because it's a shit idea.
From what I gather it’s the local businesses who are at the forefront of the complaints, particularly regarding lack of notice.
Another classic government over reaction, wait until they’ve spent 5 million on it or something.....
