A friend reported last week that there was a policemen on duty outside  her Tesco to enforce shopping alone.

That does seem a little bit of a daft use of police resources. 

So my wife who I live with, sleep with, eat with and go to the shops with in the same car and and have ... with cannot shop with me at the same time?

That is correct, she can not and should not. 

Why do you feel the need to visit a supermarket, in the middle of a pandemic, when we have all been asked to stay at home, to not make unnecessary journeys and to minimise our interactions outside of our households, as a couple?

My nana and grandad shop together, between them they can manage, if one went they would struggle, problem?

Surely it's a courtesy thing too, one of our local supermarkets have a limit of 100 people which includes staff, the more people that go the longer the wait. 
I find the supermarket shop a treat these days as I get a bit of much needed time to myself even if I just include the journey there and back.

This article sets out the specific rules the main supermarkets have decided to implement:

Some restrict shopping to one person, some to one adult, others restrict total shoppers at one time.

It'd be even better if you could sort out deliveries for them.

We go one per week at around 0800 when our supermarket is very quiet, wear masks and have individual trolleys and get everything we need for the whole week.  How do you suggest we do it?

Go once a week, with one trolley, on your own.

Listen to yourself..... If you want to be on your own that's fine, I think going shopping with your wife is not a crime against humanity lol. 

It has not been suggested that it is a crime against humanity, though that it is against government and retailer guidelines. Most people do not want to be on their own all the time, but the inability to cope with being on one's own for the half an hour it takes to complete a food shop indicates that the person would have some fairly hefty psychological issues.

Then come back and live in the shed?

You can go in the shed if you want, that is entirely up to you, it has no bearing on following the government rules and guidelines and the retailer's admittance policies.

So someone who shops with their partner has psychological issues whereas someone who is scared to make interactions outside their households and sees a problem with people mingling in the supermarket does not have psychological issues?

Someone who insists that they can only go to the supermarket with their partner, or mingle with other households, in the middle of a global pandemic, when specifically asked not to by the government and retailers, yes, they have psychological issues.

Someone who thinks that it is sensible to abide by those rules, on a temporary basis, to help reduce the risk of transmission, so that we can all get back to pubs, restaurants, soft play, football, cricket, music gigs, seeing grandparents in their care home, having kids go to school, basically to get normal life back, no, they do not have psychological issues.

Yep, that's your opinion which you are entitled to but you must accept a lot of people won't agree with. I just don't agree you should say that people not agreeing with you have psychological issues as its quite the opposite

100 people in a supermarket each with a trolley = more sales than 50 couples with 1 trolley.....perhaps!?! 😉
