Stock piling , panic buying.

We all know the rules, surely The Mods have a difficult enough job without antagonising them. Would you swear in front of your son, wife, mother? If not why swear on here.

The Golf Monthly Forum is NOT a prison. You are entitled to leave!

Sorry but what sort of logic is that, me and my wife swear at each other all the time. And I've sworn in conversation with my parents ever since I was 18 pretty much.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

That’s your prerogative, just dont swear in here ?

I found self raising flour today.

???

So did I - and some bread flour as well. So I can start making bread again. Hurrah!

To be fair if I'm not swearing my wife and parents ask if I'm feeling ok?

But the forum isn't the place for it though.

That's not what I meant, I was just calling him on his daft logic.

I'm a vulnerable old git according to Sainsbury.
72 years old never had any real form of illness or hospital treatment and can comfortably do a 10 mile trek in the hills.

My missus is nearly 70 has had three major cancer operations with the assorted trimmings. The last operation was four years ago and has left her with ischemic colitis which means any diarrhoea sickness etc she has been told to present herself to A&E. She had a major attack three years ago which nearly killed her. She has kept to a very strict diet for the last three years and done amazingly well.
The only shopping problems we have is sourcing her special food stuff and then being limited to only three purchases

Result of her inquiry to Sainsburys is that she is not regarded as vulnerable but I am.
A case of computer says no.

It's a blunt instrument currently, hopefully will refine in time

I spoke to a cousin, yesterday, who works in a Sainsbury Local... She was telling me of the oppressive level of verbal abuse and threats of physical violence towards her and other members of staff... I asked what was security doing about it... They've been told to be non-confrontational so no help... Why not call the police? They've not shown interest in the past unless there has been actual violence and she believes there's a strong chance of same now... All very depressing...

Last shop for us was last week, Stepson brought in a top-up for the stuff we couldn't get.
Woke up this morning with an email from Morrisons thanking me for my order and delivery scheduled for 10th April.
I was a bit non-plussed and then looked at the order time. My missus isn't sleeping well at the moment (we're sleeping in separate rooms at the moment due to her concerns about the virus and the fact I had a heavy cold last week) so at 5am decided to see if she could get a slot from Morrisons and ordered online and then went back to sleep.
Se we'll eke out what we have for a little longer.

Well, we got our order delivered from Morrisons on Saturday and less than half of what we ordered was delivered. And that included some of the things that we took off the order and replaced with others. Interestingly, when we tried to check on the Morrisons website as to what hadn't been delivered, that wasn't correct either so I think it's creaking under the strain. Considering we were trying to order sufficient for 2 weeks then left us a little short. My missus is paranoid about going out with herself and her dad being at high risk so we're going to try Asda now. Delivery scheduled for next Sunday. We're not panic buying and don't have vast stockpiles of anything.

Panic in our house this week as we can’t get a delivery spot for the first time since lockdown! No home delivery or click and collect! Going to have to actually go to a shop!!!

 

[BrianM]

that would make sense as to why I cant find them at midnight lol cheers

Not sure down south Paul, but British Gas customers who can’t get to shops can get shopping delivered by a gas engineer.
Its just not right when folks that age can’t get there shopping.
Tesco release at 23:50hrs, you go into a queue, book your slot then do shopping.

I think Tesco are releasing some current week slots at around 2pm.

I never understand why people have to be like that towards the staff. Especially now when they are coming into work to try and make sure the shelves are stocked as much as possible and increasing their risk of getting the disease. IMHO, the shop should be making it clear with large signs before anyone comes in to the shop saying any abuse or threats of violence will not be tolerated, those found guilty of doing so will be asked to leave and be banned from the store. The staff need to be protected.
