No, I am NOT having a moan. I’m just interested in the current “no more than one person in a car” rule as applied to a married couple. It won’t stop us transferring  infections to each other, because we have been sleeping together for over fifty years, and I’m still “quite fond of her”. 

   You can take a relative to the airport as long as you take the precaution of taking a copy of their boarding pass with you to fend off the Guardia on the return trip,

By the same token we could take a copy of a marriage certificate and two birth certificates in the car. Then at the very least I could take her to a supermarket, drop her off and wait for her. She no longer has a Spanish driving licence, and so can’t get there on her own, or for that matter take me in the car.

There would still only be one person getting out of the car per shopping trip.

I can take my dog for a walk, but can’t take my lady out to do a bit of shopping.

                  DON’T UNDERSTAND THE LOGIC FOR MARRIED COUPLES

                           JUST A THOUGHT

The Guardia don't know know who you are, your relationship, or the purpose of your journey, do you really think that them pulling you up for having more than one in the car would be a justifiable use of their time?

There are alot more suffering far greater hardships and privations than those who claim to be unable to go to the ruddy shops on their own and frankly it's becoming a bit tiresome listening to their petty bleating.

Like them or not the rules are there for the good of all and I think some folk need to wake up to the seriousness of what's happening and stop thinking about only themselves.

Sounds like a moan to me, we all have to abide by the same restrictions to try and stop this virus. As others have mentioned there are good reasons for the restrictions, they weren’t thought up just to inconvenience non shoppers.

In reply to the original poster, Alcox. You will be relieved to know that there is someone who actually agrees with you. Even though you clearly started your post with the fact that you are not moaning, still you are being criticised. If you weren’t around to take your wife, she would most likely have to get a taxi, so what’s the difference. Each person has their own difficulties and we are all doing our best. Not everyone has friends or family to support them. I am happy to be living in Spain and am so impressed with the way the authorities have handled the situation so far. I can’t praise Mercadona enough for their efforts. Yesterday they sprayed the basket and the debit card machine after I used it and have marked 1m lines all around the shop. This has hit us all out of the blue, so the speed of measures put in to protect us has been brilliant.
