So, with the latest measures being implemented we might be having to buy some aquarium stuff online. I'm not even sure if pets at home will remain open for frozen foods.

Pets at home come under non-essential therefore will be closed.

Just pure stupidity,I fix the trucks that deliver to the supermarkets and the warehouses are stocked as normal they just cant deliver it fast enough.
The media has played a big part in the panic.

Our yard stacked up with trailers full of stuff for Morrisons and Aldi's RDC's ...we can't get it in quick enough.

However like all pet stores with livestock they will still need staff to come in to feed and care for them, Which is what John @ Maidenhead-Bolton will be doing and then delivering (locally) if you desperately need some aquatic supplies

Looking at the government's website, unless it is essential service, these people will not be able to continue business or deliver to homes.

They can maintain livestock in a place of work but they are not allowed to trade for any purpose from tonight.

To add to that this could well be my last night of work as what I deliver in my lorry is considered non-essential and therefore I might find myself out of work for a few weeks.

Have to wait and see on that front but I don't suppose I'll be asked to do any supermarket work as we have enough drivers to do that already.

Yet the government are listing only essential retail only, think they need to be a little more clearer.
