Let me see if I have got this right.

The government say stay home but allow takeaways to open and IDIOTS take that as permission to go out each day to get a beefburger and the problem is the government? When did people stop taking responsibility for their actions? Boris is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt.

Our nearest village has an infection rate of 1 in 18. The builders merchant’s wife died having contracted cv19 . Probably more to follow. Not a shop open except one small supermarket.

I am surprised nobody condemned Jab and go on here ( Ryanair).

Got months if not years to go yet.

Stay home.....but we'll let MacDonalds open, but don't go there, take personal responsibility. FFS, some people on here are as thick as Boris. You don't tell people to stay home, or they'll kill grandma, only go out for essential journeys, and then open MacDonalds drive through......do you?

It's no different to popping to the corner shop to grab a snack at lunch time.

Exactly. Well done.

Our local McDonalds causes a big traffic que as well 
knobs can't even get into the car park and just sit with their indicators on ,causing a que past a fire station and sometimes as far down as the cop shop.
the police/council should shut it down and make it move to a suitable location that can cope with people queued .
why people que for ages and pay for burgers is beyond me .It's hardly difficult to cook a burger and some chips 

The Council, and likely the Police would have been involved in the planning application.  You expect them to go back on their lengthy and costly decision?

The whole point of my post was that putting a guilt trip on people by imploring them to stay in is fickin stupid. Who, exactly, is not allowed to go out? MacDonalds workers and customers, supermarket workers, bin men, factory workers, postmen, etc, etc, can all go to work. Anyone can go out for exercise, to get food (including burgers), to go to the doctors/hospital, etc, etc. Just who can't go out?

Who's guilt tripping?  Only moany old bastards with nothing else to do.

Those who need food, go to get food. 

I'll side with you on this; McDonalds in most of the Country can be delivered by UberEats.  This means the Household doesn't need to go out...... but I'm sure you'll find a problem with a delivery driver being out of his/her/it's house.

Except a sandwich won't hold up traffic for 15 minutes

No one is guilt tripping here, but my point was, the ad would like you to. My whole point was the ad, not people's behaviour.

That's why I said "Fickin stupid ad, not fickin stupid people.

Some folk will eat total shite because they don't know how to cook a decent meal.

I said in another post, as soon as any changes to lockdown are announced, the TV news and  papers make a list of what you can get away with , people don't need to have fast food ,unless they are homeless and don't have a kitchen surely 
shop once a week ,buy food, cook it ,eat it

But they are allowed to have fast food, if they want it. So why put an ad on telly telling people to stay in?

Better?

No.  I was trying to quote you saying that someone (I have no idea who) is trying to guilt trip people...... and then you saying that no-one is trying to guilt trip.

When the machine is actually working, they are very nice milkshakes.
