This lockdown is definitely not the same as the last lockdown. I went to ASDA shoebury yesterday at dinner time. It was absolutely rammed. There were no restrictions like last time of how many can come in. So no queue. All the isles were open, and lots of people down every popular isle. Then on the roads, it was as busy as before the lockdown.
We thought we'd drive down the seafront yesterday afternoon, grab a takeaway coffee and listen to the radio commentary on a relatively empty parking area.
God, were we wrong! Seafront was packed, not a space to be had around Rossi's, queues at all the kiosks and throngs of people walking and cycling, enjoying a beautiful afternoon. We ended up at East Beach with a horrid cup of coffee from the van there (when did the cafe go?), until one of four traffic wardens we saw out and about, turned up.
