So I got bored, which made me start to think, which can be dangerous.
As we can't buy hand sanitiser, I started experimenting.....
Using burning alcohol ( alcool a bruler ) strangely available in Carrefour today which is 90 proof, I started at a 9:1 mix, alcohol to soap but it stung a bit.... 8:2 however worked rather well so I now have 2.5 litres mixed up!

Wait til week three and you'll be updating us on the right ratio to mix with Coke

Several bottles of whisky, 2 litres of Ricard and a couple of bottles of JD to go before we get that desperate

This is going to last longer than a week, you know.

Exactly my thoughts after reading it

Worryingly, I have a bottle of Ricard bought at Christmas for 'guests' might have to drink it myself now...and I hate the stuff...

Ricard = liquid summer

First time out today.....1 checkpoint near Intermarche, going there got stopped and a cursory glance and an okay. Same checkpoint, different officer and a rather puzzled look at the "fait a' and date area then a begrudgingly said 'okay"
Had 1 Gendarmes car in the village today, a quick stop at the junction waiting for cars but not a soul in site.....5 mins later 4 or 5 in a couple of minutes.

So it seems that cycling is banned...or not..depending on where you look?
I'll be posting pics of my ride later in the pedal forum

Cycling isn’t banned,cycling for the sake of it is.

The wrong choice of words on my part.......I am "banned" however

Does cycling with a string of onions around your neck count as shopping?

Only if sporting a beret with stripy jumper, must have a rucksack to though

So the plan is now to remain here until after Easter....work is now halted and the more I see UK madness I realise at least here I can get food somewhat sensibly.
Queues at McDonald's drive throughs FFS.

Good luck, looks like they're locking down the UK now anyway... :/

So it appears essentially the main difference is a self written paper and being able to go cycling for leisure........think I"ll stay here and remain something like sane
