Market Friday - Odd or Even? I'm definitely odd!

in #marketfriday4 years ago

To try and cut the queues down, new measures are in place at my local recycling centre. Based on odd and even number car registration plates, it limits the amount of vehicles at the centre at one time. My reg plate is even so I could queue up. It got too hot so I gave up. I've now been driving around all week with lots of rubbish in the back of the car looking for a smaller queue!

It's a sign of the times that all the cheap face masks have sold out. We are very tight around here. 😊

Everywhere you go there's the 2 metre signs. I find the shops with less rules are the easiest to navigate. Too many rules seems to confuse or irritate people. I've stood waiting 5 minutes for the shop 'door monitor' to finish telling me what I can and can't do. By the time I get in the shop, I can't remember what I wanted in the first place!

The rules have changed to one metre plus now. I don't think people are going to bother any more.

Sadly, some shops are now closing down.

I thought I'd finish off with a smiley face! Stay safe everyone and have a happy #marketfriday by @dswigle. 😊

In the seventies we could only buy gasoline the same way. Last number on licence plate determined what days you could buy gas. odd or even days.

Oh that's interesting. I suppose they have to do something because everyone is having a mass clear out. 😂

I will be back tomorrow to put in some words that mean more than just a spacefiller. I was disappointed Friday and Saturday to find the site mostly down as I tried to get #MarketFriday done. I promise to be back tomorrow and as a note, I have read them all but, after two of the comment being eaten, I decided if it ate this, I would be okay, but, I didn't want you to think I forgot you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to join the challenge! I appreciate the love and support you are giving to #MarketFriday! Without you and people like yourself, I wouldn't be able to have such a successful challenge! I know that at this time, it is harder to find something to fit the challenge. On a good day, it takes a lot of time and effort to be part of, so it means a lot to me that you participate. I hope you know that there is great latitude in what Market means. It can be typical of where you shop for food, or it can be a unique place that you visit. Thank you again for being a part of all this and I hope that you will, indeed, have a great day and week ahead! If you or any of your friends are in doubt about how to participate, this should clear it all up!

I didn't realise there'd been issues with the site. I also know people are very busy, so please don't worry.
