Lost In The Supermarket

I'm all lost in the supermarket,
I can no longer shop happily;
I came in here for that special offer,
Guaranteed personality.              Lost In The Supermarket by The Clash.



The Clash happily shopping back in the day, only buying what they need.

Queuing for Sainsburys in Chesham on the food shop.

A friend of mine remarked at football as this crisis began in China "have you got your face masks, as you'll need them to walk down Chesham High Street," little did he know that this would quickly become a reality, when queuing for the Veg Stall on Market Day.

The streets are now deserted,
The gangs have trudged off home;
The lights went out in the bedsits,
Old England was all alone.           Something About England by The Clash.

The scene in Amersham Car Park on Market Day, usually nowhere to park, today deserted, as was the Bank...... just me all alone.

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in,
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin;
Nuclear error, but I have no fear,
London is drowning - I live by the river.                          London Calling by The Clash.

Some how these songs seem to carry as much meaning now, if not more in this current crisis, than when they were written over forty years ago.

Stay Safe,

Stay Well,

Stay Free.
