TeeBee Jul 2021 1:58pm, 19 Jul 2021 7,831 posts	0 TeeBee I was really disappointed this morning to see my local sainsburys had removed their perspex screens between the 3 self service checkouts. Why go to the bother of doing that? It doesn't restrict anyone, or create any more hassle. When I approached, there was a person at each end till, but the middle one was free. Suffice to say I waited until one of the other people left and took an end one.

alpenrose Jul 2021 3:07pm, 19 Jul 2021 51,607 posts	0 alpenrose Ours schools are still in this week. I ran past one senior school this morning. There were big signs on all the gates announcing that the school was closed as they didn't have enough teachers and lessons were all being done on Teams. Kids were still going in to all the other local schools.
