  1. Mecca made an announcement this evening. They are closed for the foreseeable. This may not be upto date or maybe some companies will release the news later or tomorrow.

  2. Tilegiant,Topps tiles & wood place shouldn’t be open, it’s not safeguarding the staff & it’s non essential!

  3. So Westwood Cross closed shop that helps disabled people but shops like TK Maxx are allowed to stay open

  4. Somebody told me this morning that Wetherspoon Margate is open this morning, how is that ever allowed when all these small cafés are closed.

    • It was a joke going around saying weatherspoons weren’t closing until Monday due to giving customers time to get back from the toilets

  5. The government has not “Ordered businesses to close” It can’t, Boris Johnson says he is “telling” them to close! Well despite his efforts, he isn’t a Dictator, yet! Businesses will not be committing an offence if they stay open, just because Johnson “told” them to close!

  6. Close ALL shops except chemists get lorries to stock with essential items and drive around the streets selling from the van but keep distance between you.
