    Hello all

    I hope you are all well.

    I managed to get a Sainsbury Delivery delivered this morning at 07:30 .

    Needless to say that 16 of the 22 items I ordered were not available and they were the important food items.

    Unfortunately, due to my Autism I am not able to get to the shops as I struggle, badly, around people so how I am going to cope is questionable at the moment as I rely on the Deliveries.

    Sainsburys have said they are going to prioritise deliveries from Monday 23 March for those who are over 70 or have a Disability, the DWP classes me as being Severely Disabled, not something that I like to think about but it is what it is.

    Hopefully things improve soon as many vulnerable people are going to struggle if things do not improve, soon.

    Thanks

    Kevin

        Morning all,
        Im just back from "WALKIES" with the boys 'four legged ones) and "she who must be obeyed"
        (the wife) has just watched the uk news and a nurse was on in tears having completed the grave yard shift (12hour night shift) and on her way home she visited her local suppermarket only to find the shelves empty,
        Now i did say only yesterday the uk's in for a big wake up call in the very near future ref food supplies and all those on here who said i was wrong "Just watch this space"

        Its getting those shelves re-filled is the question "But" without the supply chain to fill them !!!!!!
        You've one hell of a problem,

          Do you not read all that is posted on here ?

          Also, yes I saw that news clip as well yesterday, so it's not todays news , and it wasn't a night shift either, she had been working all day, and I thought, well, if she was that hungry I would have gone to McDonalds or one of the millions of take aways or restaurants that are doing take away services now.

          I know I'm gonna get in trouble for this , but, here goes......

          Perhaps you should go and put your head in the sand and then we wouldn't have to listen to you anymore.

          PS and your fingers so you couldn't type all that rubbish.

          If you don't live over here then you don't really k ow what's going on. You only see selective snippets of news etc, .

            Would be great for the supermarkets to create a pop up market for hospital staff only...

              I've just watched the video of the critical care nurse - who on finishing a 48 hour shift - couldn't get any food in the shops - because of panic buying.

              I'll admit I did shed a tear at this video - those people who hoovered up the shelves - they must stop being so piggin' thoughtless :mad:. When they or their family need a critical care nurse - they won't be there - because of their selfishness.

                    Well said @KFF I completely agree.

                    Sad to say but I think we have troll, all the usual arrogant behaviours twisting what has been said and telling half truths.

                    He is in my ignore list now, suggest everyone else does the same or stop feeding him.

                        @moonraker Well, unfortunately Moonraker, you have no idea of the real situation of what is happening in the UK as you are abroad, and you seem to be focusing on a small area of Wales and amplifying to cover the whole of the UK.
                        Somebody has just referred to you as a Troll, and several other people are obviously not happy with what appears to be a person who is "happy" to be negative and push those negative opinions on people who are living in the real world of the UK and are having to deal with them. Members of the GC are entitled to strong opinions but they are not entitled to disturb the peace and harmony of the Forum by continuing to post negative and what appears to be a narrow minded, "I'm right and you are wrong" attitude.
                        :cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:So, with all respect, Moonraker, you have a choice. Either change the way you are posting and trying to force your uninformed opinions on members or I will call for a Admin Consensus and ask for an agreement that you should be banned either temporarily or permanently. I have to confess that only courtesy and respect for my Admin colleagues prevents me from banning you on the spot without referring to them.
