I dunno, Leicestershire Police caught a man speeding on the M1, and the excuse he gave was bread was £1 a loaf cheaper in London..
I can't drive, but even if I could, not sure I'd drive 120 miles to save so little.
Besides, while I don't know Nottingham prices, I doubt London is cheaper.
The last thing I bought, besides cleaning products? An Oculus Quest VR headset. Not, strictly speaking, necessary, but we went in to lockdown nearly two weeks before the country did (my niece had a high temperature, but showed no other symptoms, and has since recovered so I think it was just a bug). I think the VR headset will help with the boredom. Sadly out of stock everywhere, but Scan appear to think they will be getting stock on the 28th. Not sure if they will, but I've ordered it.
This is also the reason I get angry when I see the video of people having fun in the parks when they are told they should. I've followed the rules, and been in lockdown for 5 weeks. They aren't following the rules, have been in lockdown for 3 weeks, and because of them, we are all likely to be in lockdown longer.

Sorry but that shows a little naivety. We were always going to be placed in lockdown for more than three weeks regardless of if a portion of society decided not to follow the rules.
You can't just say to the population en masse that they will be locked down for 6,9 or 12 weeks there would be immediate civil unrest.

I believe the lockdown is 6 months with 3 weekly reviews. But that's for another thread.
My FastFret arrived yesterday well short of the 24 April expected date, still waiting for some exercise gear.

Re: What have you just bought?
A new kettle, as the old one conveniently decided to stop working yesterday. This then entailed a 'heated discussion' about why we shouldn't buy an Alexa enabled kettle.
Needless to say SWMBO won, no Alexa kettle for me

Did you get the 2 move controllers with it too as you really need them on some games to get the best out of it?
Example Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

Got the starter bundle for £199.85 Inc delivery from Simply Games. Not allowed to play it till my birthday next Friday though.
I've got a few games saved and some of the free stuff that can be played with just a controller. The Star Trek one looks a lot of fun.

Re: What have you just bought?
I've just pre-ordered Ring Fit Adventure from Amazon France. Seems the best way to get one. I'll cancel it if I can get one over here.
