All Trump's ban meant was thousands of infected expat Americans speeding their way back, and the Chinese travellers switching planes in Northern Italy or Spain. I think most of the UK infections came from Spain and Italy. Edited September 23, 2020 by welshbairn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For online shopping , not so. Please edit your post so it reads “more last year than this year”. It is doing my head in that you made more last year than last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartsOfficialMoaner Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 This is going to be like this for the next 4 or 5 years/ until there is a vaccine so State run boarding schools should be an option for folk that don't have the time to bring up their kids. They house parties will be pish without alcohol so stop selling the stuff and covid clusters will be less. Ban the sale of peeve! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't go back. Likewise for me with Tesco deliveries. I only started when I thought I had it (I didn’t) and was self-isolating. Not having a car and there being no buses to the nearest big supermarket, deliveries mean I am able to get a lot more. As I am not going to the little metro stores near the house each day, I spend less money and am able to eat much healthier because I’m not picking up sweets because I walk past them and can just get exactly what in need for home-cooking. It’s completely brilliant and I’m not going back either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, I have been driven to this exception by an early finish today, boredom and devilment. I notice that you have decided to take P&B more seriously and make a name for yourself. Good luck, I really mean that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Inverness anyway. The thing that annoyed me in the lockdown was that it was impossible for shielded households to use it when it was needed as lazy healthy c***s who were early adopters snatched up all the slots. There was a wee period early on where it was hard to get a C&C slot in Edinburgh at Asda, but after that they seemed to massively ramp up the number and there was no bother. I deliberately avoided deliveries to let others get them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great if you have housebound older relatives and you don't want to visit them but would still like them to get fed.

Rob1885 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Regarding home deliveries from supermarkets, it is a costly operation on the whole but it's a way of keeping custom within that supermarket. Click and Collect is the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toilet rolls, pasta, hand wash. #panicbuying I see is trending again, I guess this is more to do with anticipating this behaviour. Maybe isolated examples? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bung them one of those Wiltshire Farm Foods subscriptions for when they're getting locked in the house until March.
