All the clowns whinging about spreading COVID need to take a week off but honestly I don't understand how anybody could be bothered to stand in a queue that length just to get some knickers and socks. One look at it and you would be turning straight around.

exactly, if people have nothing else to do and decide they want to stand in a queue then thats up to them I dont really think its something to get annoyed about. Equally, id say there's a lot of people in that queue who need new clothes for kids who are growing and possibly need lighter summer clothes and maybe dont have the luxury to be able to buy more expensive stuff online. I know my wee boy is going through clothes at a crazy rate at the minute and its hard to keep up, if families need to go and get reasonably priced clothes and are prepared to queue for ages then fair play to them.

Apparently Primark was open at 5 this morning in Belfast! In fairness today the weather is good and the town looks like its lived in now!

Hopefully it will bring back more and more business's that closed or stalled during the last period of lockdown.

I'm moving out of it soon, will miss the handiness of the town for work and the bars just when they are opening again!

Lot of silly people up North  ::)

Yeah none of those people have travelled up from the South... and there definitely won't be the same scenes from Dundalk to Cork if Tweedledum and Tweedledee ever let shops open again.

Yeah, thats a day you could get side tracked into one of the beer gardens walking past alright! great to see bit of life about the place again!

Those scenes will be repeated down here on 17th May, an absolute banker.

What's is good is that there is queues and shows that stores are managing the situation and you hope they continue to do so. Will take a few weeks for it to settle.

Good to see people and hope they all respectful of each other and these past lockdowns are behind us.

ROI opening on 17th might help ease the rush North for some.

+1, not everyone can or can be bothered shopping on line. Can't understand why Tesco can't sell socks jocks etc, but other supermarkets can. The likes of penneys should never have had to shut in the first place, provided they were meeting the same criteria as food supermarkets in terms of covid protocols.
