shops around here are normal now, infact yesterday i drove though town and it was quiet
of course we have been open a week now, so not the rush
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
Go in, enjoy , have a pint in Traders Tavern and belt our why why DelilahBusy or most folk in work or self isolating? So quiet? Tough call but i need to go in.....what do you reckon?
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....

PS - Happy Birthday to Goats’s son
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.

Take some hand sanitizer and a mask. Don't use public transport. You should be fine.Busy or most folk in work or self isolating? So quiet? Tough call but i need to go in.....what do you reckon?
Actually looking forward to see if this outdoor seating works. Very interesting for the summer, but the rest of the year just seems impractical
The council have been trying to close Castle Street for years, they’ll use the excuse of Coronavirus to permanently SHUT IT OFF !!!!
Get the barstewards voted out ASSP, the sly little shits
I see that the green in front of the castle (the moat) is also being covered, bit of a hike from wherever you’ve bought your food or drink. Are there that many outlets on Duke St & Castle St anyway? Three pubs close by, The Rummer, The Goat Major (Bluebell) and Elevens (The Globe), what’s the sketch though? Carry a tray of beer from the bar to the green? Going to be interesting to see how it works, especially if the road reopens.
Another classic government over reaction, wait until they’ve spent 5 million on it or something.....
I’ve always wondered why the pubs along that stretch in front of the castle never seem to do that well, wide pavements and plenty of footfall, nice views of the castle and grounds but never take off. In fact most just close down like the castle arms and that huge unit that used to be a motor bike shop is still empty after 10 years or so.....it could be a great location for a pub or cafe
