    Sure, that's how they're defining it.

    Motomail are having a 20% lockdown sale (plug!), but they're not going to be able to ship anything until after the lockdown, I guess because they've been told they're not 'essential'. They might be a bit miffed that Noel Leeming can ship a Mini Kitchen Wizz when they can't ship a helmet, which is definitely an essential item for riding a motorcycle.

    I guess I just think using the term 'essential' begs an argument, whereas using 'approved' is more accurate. It's probably just me though.

    Neither am I, the more businesses who can operate without violating the integrity of the lockdown the better. It's good to see they're being flexible about it.

    If I had a shelves full of stock that wasn't moving due to its non essential status then a buy now at a big discount and ship later would be a priority for cash flow reasons, as long as you had a decent it platform to enable it.

    Is there a list? Just wondering if a PS4 is on it because that will be essential to my wellbeing in a couple of months time if this carries on.

    And a Roland drum kit which I had planned to pick up the day after the lockdown started.

    Only the basic TD1DMK. Now I have had more time I am thinking of the KAT KT3. It's more for the kids to bang around with than me reliving my teenage years.

    A bit.

    Has it got a gong? All drumkits need a gong. Ask John Bonham, Neal Peart, Dave Grohl - they'll tell you...

    I've got a Yamaha DTXtreme 2, but since I've now got my Acoustic kit setup, it's not seen the light of day for a while. It could be for sale depending on your budget.

    I've got my essential ticket for driving in Otago and Southland, not sure I can stretch it as far as the north island.
