    Booting Windows

    “ A driver flouted the coronavirus lockdown to pick up £15 windows with his wife in the boot of his car.

    The man, who had bought the windows on eBay, was stopped by police on the M6 in Cheshire on Sunday after collecting his purchase in Salford.

    Police said his wife had to sit in the boot as she "could not fit in the vehicle" for the return journey to Coventry.”

    Why did his missus go with him in the first place? I totally wouldn't have accepted being put in the boot.

        I suspect he didn't realise / think about where in the car he would need to put the windows when he left on the outward journey.

          I would hope that a trip to buy some £15 windows wouldn't necessitate guns.

                    Still wondering if I can sneak to Homebase for DIY stuff. Why are hardware stores still allowed to open if not? DIY is an essential way to cope with isolation. If I go mad and run around shooting people I shall blame my mental state on a lack of latches for my cupboard door.
