Should the classifieds forums be temporarily closed?

I sold a couple of things with zero contact (no postage) can be done sensibly

Dont close and use common sense .

Common sense was thousands mingling in parks and going to car boot sales at the weekend.

People are fucking selfish idiots.

Dont close and use common sense .

This wins.

They'll stay open.

Where is this quoted from please?

It's from the "Further businesses and premises to close" document linked at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-businesses-and-premises-to-close - end of the 3rd para on page 3.

Same document as says bike shops are of strategic importance and should remain open in the national interest ... (Or at any rate lists them - twice - as an exception to the non-essential retailers who must close.)

Thank you

Thanks
Think of that nhs girl looking for a bike this week.

Yes. Even if people can buy stuff here 99% is for projects that are extras/fun, it will remove strain from postal services and have less people out doing stuff that could make them sick.

The huge waves of people clambering to make every part of normal routine life for them a key worker thing is just awful and selfish.

this.

If she posted on any of the COVID threads half dozen people would have offered to help. If anything just setup 1 thread for NHS and stuff then put it in the sticky that explains why the classifieds is shut.

Maybe sticky some advice?
Thanks for being thoughtful Velocio.

Don't take away my window shopping
