We are anticipating having to close to customers if a lockdown means only food shops are allowed to open, but plan to still receive the days papers and deliver them as news and magazine sales form the bulk of the shop's business.
Whether it comes to that, who knows? I am fortunate in one way in that I live in a rural area with a low population density so a better chance than many of avoiding it and there is certain to be a complete lack of visitors from outside as the holiday market collapses. There is no point in people going anywhere because when they get to their destination there is nothing to do, all the normal holiday places will have the shutters up - and by the time the season kicks in, bailiff's notices on the door of many.
We live in the fabled "Interesting times".
