Something I learned today, wear gloves and or disinfect your bin handles when you bring them back in. Refuge collectors can handle upto two thousand bins a day, be careful folks.

We shop online every week at Tesco, book a slot Tuesday for delivery Thursday. Last week tried to book a slot and nothing available until Saturday. I’m now booked at my usual time on a Thursday for the next 4 weeks 👍 Here - all on-line shopping & deliveries with the major supermarkets has been cancelled. They've simply have ceased the service completely - at least for the time being. Too many were hitting it up as a means to avoid the mass queue for the TP isle. Yes that might happen here too but for now it’s ok. My boss was telling me he went to Costco and left due to trolley rage and folk climbing the shelving to get to high stored TP, it’s madness. |

Yesterday was the worse since this all started, at 8am when we opened . . . . a stampede of people came through the doors, ramped up by the deteriorating situation from news reports over the weekend. By the time I left at lunch time our shelves were blitzed.
There is enough of everything to go around as our deliveries are unaffected so far, if only people would buy ' normally ' the reality is, that won't happened.
We've set up designated areas of basic items in our warehouse, chillers and freezer specifically to cater for elderly, disabled customers or their carers who are having difficulty obtaining supplies.
Online deliveries have gone through the roof, there's now a cap on these as our drivers simply can't cope with the volume and neither can our system or stocks.
It's exhausting if nothing else working in a supermarket right now, but we're continuing to do our utmost with the resources we have available.

Greg had one, he no longer vapes and is famous for never, ever selling anything . . . . but it could be worth a tag puffingbilly as he still looks in occasionally. Your right on all counts Madge, I have one, I don’t vape anymore & it’s not for sale Sounds like the OP might have an option though. whilst I never sold stuff as you rightly point out I did used to buy stuff for others members in the form of competitions and had on occasion bought some members vaping gear anonymously and just sent it to them for one reason or another. So whilst I might have some hoarder tendencies, perish the thought eh Madge  I have been a good egg on occasion in the past 👍 hope your well Perpetua  |

Evening folks, I don’t post much at all these days for obvious reasons but just wanted to wish all you lovely people a very happy Christmas. Time to over indulge, stuff your face and fall over drunk ( do be careful Madge ) im hope I’m not too early for those bar humbag folk, it is December after all. All the best 👍 |

Wow . . . . looks amazing Greg !  When your labours are complete, a bench of some description could finish the job nicely so you could sit and watch the wildlife world go by.  Indeed Madge, I’ll likely extend the paving somewhere for a seating area  |

Well I bought 4 bags of hort grit for £20 and used it all planting 7 baskets, I have another 40 baskets to plant up so I’ve bought a Ton bulk bag of grit for £66 delivered, should have enough now Damn rain preventing walling progression  Paving slabs arriving next week for the perimeter and final piece of waterfall arrived yesterday. I’ll soon have more materials than time to install everything  |
