        Wilshire Farm Foods are part of the Apetito Group who will deliver Meals on Wheels to those that have been referred as in need of such services.

        My brother has had them for a couple of years now and we've booked a time that doesn't clash with his two lots of daily carer visits. His dinners always come between 12:30 and 1 pm and the really good thing is that they notify us if they have any concerns on his wellbeing too. :dbgrtmb:

        Can't fault either of their services at all.

        My Dad prefers to place a weekly order with their Wilshire Farm Foods section that is delivered pre packed and frozen and all he does is pop it in the microwave or oven at a time of his choosing.

        My brother can't ,due to his immobility issues, cope with reheating even and we needed to know that he was being checked on inbetween his two lots of carer visits so his food is ordered via their Apetito section and is delivered hot to him , they will even plate it up for him too!!:)

          Aah, but you would, Upsydaisy:dunno:. The isolation of :old: is/will be advisory, not mandatory as this Government seems to be taking the line of believing there are reasonable circumstances where such people will need to venture out of their House.
          The emergency legislation is being brought out on Tuesday and then voted for on Thursday to take into account any amendments, so we will have a much clearer idea then.:cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

            This tweet did make me laugh -

            "In light of the recent panic buying, UK supermarkets have introduced the following purchase limits:

            Asda - 2 hand sanitisers, 24 toilet rolls;
            Tesco - 1 Hand sanitiser, 18 toilet rolls and 2kg of rice;
            Co-op - 12 rolls of toilet paper, 1Kg rice;
            Aldi - 2 brass trumpets, 1 diving suit and 1 MIG welder."

              Just said the over 70s could end up in isolation for 4 months, ridiculous.

              How the hell are they going to police that kind of stupidity.

              People will be dying of other things rather than coronavirus while locked away.

                  Just wondering, if you go out in your car for a drive, dont get out but just have a wander down the country lanes etc. to break the boredom.
                  Would that still be considered as breaking the law.

                  I mean, will the army be out with tanks on every corner to catch an oldie out for a wander?:biggrin:

                      I've got a load of compost being delivered next Saturday, got tons of seeds to start off and my garden looks like a bomb as hit it; so, if my only leisure time in the coming weeks has to be at home, then so be it, and I will be growing my own grub at the same time.

                        Let's wait for the emergency legislation to be brought out and we'll all know, pete. I doubt, though, that the measures will be that extreme.

                        Have you moved to China or Russia, pete, without telling us:scratch::doh::heehee:

                          I thought that too when watching the news. It showed a few people wandering around, not in groups but with a fair distance between then and yet a drone was flying overhead asking them to return home..why??

                          They were well spaced out with more than the recommended distance between them.

                          More conflicting advice??

                            I certainly hope you are right about it not being that extreme, just tell people the facts and let them make up their own minds.

                            As for moving to China, well the way they are laying it out in the media it is starting to sound like a police state or martial law will be enforced.

                            If they start using drones like they are in Spain they can do anything.:dunno:
