Getting reports of long queues at some supermarkets today. Several are closed tomorrow (Easter Sunday). Also very long queues at Fish and Chip shops yesterday (Good Friday).

On the other hand, Morrisons staff working very hard to fulfil delivery orders during what must be a busy weekend. Delivery van working till after 11:00pm last night. DPD and other delivery firms also proving to be very reliable. Credit to their supply chains.

Still no word on when (if) Deliveroo will extend deliveries to areas like Foxwood.
