Just walked through my local indoor shopping centre, simply because there are outdoor shops either end that are open, and one or two inside. They are obviously getting ready to fully open up, but the amount of signs, arrows, zig zag lined lanes, red spots, green spots, yellow spots on the walk ways they've just seemed to have gone crazy, I'm sure some of the younger kids will end up playing twister, this is all on top of the signs in the shop windows. Do they think we are all dumb, I can only for see such clutter causing more problems than they aim to achieve. Will it end up with people ranting and raving, along with fingers and fists in the air, like on the roads. :0) You could say its a sign of the times.

It'll end up with the usual suspects getting all precious and territorial, possibly even carrying a distancing rod.

They know who they are. :-)

Some people have to be taken by the hand, in a manner of speaking, and be directed in the proper direction. Even with all those arrows, footprints, black and yellow stripes, some people go round our local Tesco the wrong way. The supermarket managers are doing their best, but some of them must be tearing their hair out.

douglas, oh that made me laugh.

Why havent they put 2 metre markers around Winston Churchills or Nelson's statue.
The idiots could all line up 2 metres apart in an orderly fashion and come and have a go if they think they're hard enough

douglas9401

In the case of Nelson it's hard to fathom.

jno

they could bring back barrage balloons to protect Nelson. It might discourage drones as well.

All those distance lines will need to be altered if Boris drops it to one metre rather than two. Oooer...

I was thinking that today David as I queued up looking at the 2 meter markers stenciled into the ground

I like the reference to fathom (6 feet).

Question Author

Two security personal were telling me that when they do open, only a certain number of people will be allowed into the shopping centre at one time, in practice that may work outside a supermarket, but I can't see it being successful for a shopping centre considering that many people just like browsing the shops/ impulse buying for an hour or two, I can't see shops surviving on limited numbers of potential customers, even if some are prepared to wait outside for long periods of time before being allowed in.
