Wasn’t gonna bite, but just ran that Chartwells basket through Tesco online. £7.37(£4.88 if you’re that much of a cunt that you split packs of the Frubes, malt loaf & cheese slices). Imagine how much it is with their negotiated prices for buying in bulk.

If supermarkets are genuinely safer then how about he lets us reopen but we do it without any of the rules, just let anyone in without any contact details and let the random table with an empty hand wash and half a blue roll by the entrance work it’s magic?
