We are running out of jobs that we can do because we can't buy the stuff like paint, wood or sand & cement to do other jobs. And we are facing a further 3 weeks of this according to the papers. I honestly cannot see it continuing in its present way. They have to allow some shops and businesses to open in a limited way just to release some of the pressure caused by boredom and frustration. The week before lockdown I ordered a car from a local garage. The car is ready for its Controle-Technique and then I could drive it away. Except the garage is closed and the C-T examination centre is closed so I can't get it. By the time they open there will be a back log of 5 weeks of appointments with some car drivers having vehicles out of C-T and therefore illegal. They have got to open things like that and the dump-it sites, building supplies and the like to relieve the frustration. This will be my problem soon regarding materials. Obviously the Brico’s are shut here, but we are lucky that they have allowed a garden centre chain called Aveve to remain open, because it’s sells pet food/supplies, plus all sorts of other stuff. Hope that doesn’t change soon! Edited March 27, 2020 by Accip74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The hypermarkets have roped off their clothes section and other non-essentials. Meanwhile in Lidl anything goes so yesterday I came back with two packs of tomato seeds and a six pack of socks. But if the French can't get their plants and seeds to put in their veg' plots there will be riots. It is an essential part of rural life out here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve just been to Aveve & items deemed non essential were cordoned off with plastic tape. Seeds & plants were fine & the bags of potting soil I took, next to that was posts & chicken wire, which is what I really wanted, I couldn’t bloody take! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Because of all of the numpties travelling from all over to 'test' their dogs and film it for Facebook. Forestry commission have shot a lot of it out and the local police etc are hot on it. Shame really as it was a great spot for many years until the dick swinging. Edited to add - clean ears for a dog caught pig.
