Social distancing is apparently over, by grassroots decree. There are so many punters pouring in at # that I can barely take three steps without being asked for directions. It's positively claustrophobic. One lady apologised for being unfamiliar with the store layout because she ordinarily shops in town, but was driven out to the suburbs by the crush of shoppers there. No more exasperated conversations about toilet paper; we're suddenly back on to queries about exotic ingredients from bemused middle class recreational shoppers uncertainly stalking their prey like partially anaesthetised leopards. #
