At Last, Stores Reopen, Will You Be Going?

[youngmafbog]

I shall be going just yet as I cannot stand queuing.

Looks like Primarni, Sports Direct and Nike are the hot favourites.

Nice bike. Pretty nippy. I once put a Kwakker 1300 through it's paces.It was, at the time, the fastest production road bike made I believe. It would certainly leave the K100 I rode standing in the smoke.

Had to queue earlier at Co-op for rum, only one in front though.

The good thing about being almost 75 is that I probably won't need any more clothes.

Oi, I do,I’m a clothes horse in normal times haha

[teacake44]

Lots of folk have been getting up late since the lockdown/ shops closed, so nothing to get up for, so may be they feel better getting up early for once, and having somewhere to go.

[SparklyKid]

I* still have three pairs of slacks bought 6 years ago.

Plus a drawer full of socks.

SK, where I live (Ontario), the beer and liquor stores have remained open all through this situation.

[SparklyKid]

Hi sanmac, thankfully our local off licence has remained open.

[SparklyKid]

Hi Bobbs, how about "keks"

[iluvmargie]

[iluvmargie]

Hey, if you live to be 100 sparkly like lovely Captain Tom, you will definitely need some new clothes.

[SparklyKid]

Perhaos iluvmargie. I shall put it off as long as possible.

Lol. So have ours but we call them supermarkets and convenience stores.:-)
Last time I was in Newmaket,Barrie and Yorkie Porky County there was little choice of beer and liquor in their fantastic supermarkets .
I had to show my passport to get a case of Molsons out the Beer Store. :-)

[iluvmargie]

Treated myself to a bottle of my favourite wine today, it's chilling nicely in the fridge. Actually drooling imagining myself drinking a hugh glassful at tea time tonight!! It's the simple things.

[retrocop]

I have been in no rush to do shopping of any kind in the last 3 months.
I have been optimistically choosing holiday dstinations and have already ordered, on-line, a load of new clothes to fit. If We are not allowed to holiday this year I will hope for a scorching remaining summer.

Retro, each Province or Territory have their own laws regarding the sale of alcohol, and they can vary quite a lot. For example, in Quebec you can buy beer and liquor in supermarkets and corner-stores. In Ontario, you can only buy liquor and beer in the Provincially-owned and operated Liquor Stores, and you can buy beer (not liquor) in the Brewery-owned and operated Beer Stores...I have not idea why you had to show your passport to buy beer.

Don't these shops sell online? You can't try the clothes on so what is the point of going to the shop?

I'm not going anywhere I can avoid until we are properly back to normal.

[Bobbisox1]

Not sure if Primark do Barry
