In the UK we are only allowed to leave homes to shop for essential items but there is no official guideline as to what is essential. Huge debates about what is essential and what is not. Let's settle this. The options are binary on purpose but feel free to comment. Thread:
If you go to a supermarket to buy groceries, should you be allowed to buy non-essential items on the same trip - e.g. a picture frame while buying food?
Is wine essential?
Are Easter eggs essential?
Are chocolates, crisps, biscuits etc essential?
Are children's activity items such as colouring books essential?
Are items for pets, other than food items or medicines, essential?
Are books essential?
Are cosmetics items essential?
Are exercise equipment such as bikes of a home gym essential?
Are DIY tools essential?
Are gardening tools, soil, flowers and so on essential?
Is picking up non essential items if it is on your way anyway okay? For example, you find an office chair on Facebook Marketplace and it is on your route home.
These are simple questions
Majority say books are essential. Should book shops remain open?
Is returning unwanted online shopping to a courier essential?
Majority seems to think cosmetics items are not essential. I wonder if any of them have long hair.
