My experience hasn’t been of a ‘free for all inside’ and most, not all, supermarkets were quick to mark out two metre gaps and put up Perspex shields for till workers long before London Transport or the government followed suit.

The point of my post was that the advice isn’t as ‘clear as day’ at all. You suggest that the advice is that masks should be worn where social distancing isn’t possible but then say this should include shops where the queues to enter, the arrows on the floor, the two metre lines at the checkout etc are all there to enforce social distancing.

A combination of unclear, contradictory advice and stupid, selfish behaviour, as evidenced at Durdle Door and Dovedale (to name but two) this weekend, is a large part of the problem.
On the Johnson topic, on 7th April, I posted that only a few supermarkets down here had just started to put up screens. This was over 2 weeks after the lockdown and over 3 weeks after crowd gatherings were stopped. I wouldn't have said that this was particularly quick obviously, you disagree.

We can only say what we see, but down here with the thick brummies, I've found it impossible to socially distance in Aldi, Lidl, Marks and Spencer, Morrisons.

As for the government advice, if you know that it's too crowded in your regular supermarket, you should have a mask on. It's clear to me.
