It takes a long time to get humble pie delivered.

Good luck with it fella.

You’re not so bad fella, just deluded about politics.

Good luck with the vege growing. Sounds like you are doing well.

Disabled people, who are running out of food are getting very worried by not being able to get a online slot, because selfish able people are hogging them.
I went to the shops twice last week, to buy food for old people who cant go out, but couldnt get an online slot. Without me God knows what would have happened
If youre able to get out, then go to the store & leave the slots for those who cant

West Side Story wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 10:28 am I am trying to self-isolate because: I am 72, had cardiac arrest which left me with a dicky ticker and am type 2 diabetic. I have had 4 deliveries from Morrisons. Each one seems to be less successful. Last Friday they were meant to deliver a shipping order between 4 & 5 pm. By 6.45 nothing had arrived. I rang them, took 35 minutes to get an answer. Girl could see my order and couldn't see why I hadn't had it. She made some enquiries and eventually said they were running late ( I don't believe her ). Eventually my order turned up 8.40. Lots of missing items. The type of stuff a shop would run short of late in the day. I suspect they had forgotten or something and after a phone call, turned out late.
I immediately booked another slot, that being the 24th of April. It is a bit of a worry, wondering whether essentials will last 3 weeks. I have a friend with poor health and she and her husband get me some stuff. But it is a worry being reliant on other people.
Some observations: Delivery slots early in the morning, tend to have less missing items. Wilko do a delivery service via Hermes. They have been delivering my dog food. They will mix up items for your £5 so I get stuff like shampoo, bird peanuts etc.
Worrying thing is, I can see somewhere along the line I gonna Have to go on a supermarket crawl to get certain essentials. The panic buyers should take a long hard look at themselves.
