Garden Centres are open in Scotland. My husband ordered compost 3 weeks go (from local place), he was only charged for what he bought. He ordered more last week and they charged us ?6 delivery........hmm...........ripping off the customer, but no more orders from them.
I ordered some compost and veg plants from my local garden centre last week - they said the delivery charge was ?5 for local addresses, more if further afield. As I'm less than a mile from the centre, and only about 10 houses nearer to it than I am, I foolishly assumed my charge would be ?5. They charged me ?15. Guess where I won't be going back to as soon as lockdown lifts?!!
Can't help thinking it's daft timing to alter lockdown immediately after a bank holiday though, as they are not going to know if any disease spike is due to the alteration or to people breaking the rules at the weekend. I was working Friday afternoon and drove home past half a dozen front gardens crammed with people partying - ok, maybe each garden contained one household, but in that case, there are an awful lot of 2 bedroom bungalows which have 15 people living in them...
