Pictures shown from shops around England, as they reopened today.
First thought, what makes people queue in their 100’s outside Clothes shops? Are they that desperate for something new to wear?
Secondly, pictures showing at least a dozen folk pushing and grappling to get into one shop as it opened its doors. Some people really are as thick as pig shit, and have obviously not learnt a single thing from the last 3 months.
I reckon people who think that the vast majority of people are going to be walking around with a new found element of good will to all men and women and a new sense of what's important in life are going to be disappointed. Give it a couple of weeks and plenty of people wont give a **** for anyone.
Just as people sat in queues to get a drive-thru starbucks / Mcdonalds its the same with Primark, the chance to feel life is getting back to normal, alot appear be teenagers and they have been stuck in aswell,
lets not forget the governments messages, they are now looking at 1 M and talking of " contact " being closer than 2 M's for over 15 mins
life is returning back to a new norm
What cracks me up is that people can’t try on the clothes in the shops, so the only advantage over buying online is that they can see and feel the clothes, although they’re being asked not to touch them.
It’s bonkers. I live in Bristol and it doesn’t interest me in the least.
Quite. My 7 year old has grown out of a lot of his clothes during lockdown, nice time for a growth spurt. Tesco had a 50% off all clothes promotion recently and my local Asda also sells clothes. I might be lucky in having 2 supermarkets within 2 miles of the house, but never have I thought of leaving him with small clothes until Primark reopens.
The counter argument, of course, is that each of us have a finite amount of time on this planet. Truth be told, you and I have no idea where we are in terms of our individual lifespans. We may have decades, years, months, days, hours or only minutes left. Who knows for sure?
What I do know is that life at the moment is not what it should be. Imagine if the past three months were among your last on earth. A grim thought indeed.
As for the sheep, the vast majority of them are out in the fields doing what they naturally do. Unlike us.
