A crowd at the fish van

There was a very long and very slow queue at the fish van today. Everyone seemed to be buying large supplies of fish and seafood. Alex says he has been unusually busy all week. Is this because we think the restrictions are going to be lifted and we will soon be allowed to have gatherings? Or could it be that we are stocking up in case things get worse and the fish van stops coming?
 
The Covid news is not good. The case numbers today are the highest ever, as they are every day at the moment. The UK is going to lend us four million doses of Pfizer. Thank you!
