I forgot to go shopping yesterday as I was hung over. No idea where I am going to get my wine today. That makes me sad. Might as well be sad about something today

I think corner shops will be open? Could be wrong though. I know some of the big supermarkets are keeping their small branches open for limited hours.

Possibly helpful:

Asda will be open only after 5pm and no online deliveries will be offered. Large Sainsbury’s and Tesco stores will be shut all day, apart from some in central London and Windsor. After 5pm, Sainsbury Local and petrol stations and Tesco Express will be open.

One local cafe said they were open as normal today. SUCH a lot of support for them from people saying they will purposely go there for the first time as a mark of respect.

I think it’s great that so many companies are giving their staff the day off. It can only be a good thing for those staff (if off on full pay) to spend more time with family and friends etc. Companies should do it more often.

We're open. And pretty busy.

Not allowed to play any music in the bar though.

Handy to know about Asda. There is one a couple of miles from me and apparently the trams are running.

Assumed there'd be no normal radio today but have just seen Lauren Laverne tweeting that there is. Imagine it will be low energy stuff again? Will give it a go when I sit down to work shortly.

Or maybe people just think the whole thing really bizzare ? Not seen anyone riled up as you put it on here . However they might be riled up about about massive inequality of the royals which as a Tory hater I’m sure you agree with ?

It is bizarre but some people have been pretty riled up at people standing in a queue; calling them all sorts of names is evidence of that.

When there is such inequality in this country getting angry at regular people standing in a queue seems an odd way of dealing with said inequality. I’ll await the anger being adjusted to the cost of living package.

Where ? On here or elsewhere ? You completely miss my point ?  … there may well be some people riled up on twitter about those people but it’s likely people are rilled up about just about everything on there . Answer the question …. Are you happy about the massive wealth of the royal family ? Yes or No ?
