One customer said she logged on yesterday and got a slot for today. Maybe folk have stopped re-trying? Worth a go @Fairygirl
I just registered with Waitrose to see if there are deliveries available here (we're symptomless at the moment and not in the vulnerable group, but if one of us does get a cough or whatever we'll be isolating for 14 days and I'm not hoarding that much food just in case). Anyway, their website says "Sorry, we don't deliver to..." and offered me click and collect from Sheffield. That's an hour's round trip so not happening at the best of times, and no help at all if we have to be isolated. Feeling grumpy now!
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I tried again with the 3 supermarkets I already tried with, but no joy. I don't know if Waitrose deliver here anyway. There's only a small one about ten minutes away. They're might be one in Glasgow, but I'm not in Glasgow.
@Lyn - quite right. Some people are full of it. Did the vicar think you were some sort of wee ned vandalsing it?

Hello @Lyn, may I ask you a question please, when you said you were painting a headstone, were you just touching up the inscription, and if so, what paint were you using? I ask because my mum's inscription is fading, I have used special supposedly waterproof pens but it doesn't last long. Is gold paint any better? the stone is grey granite. Many thanks.
I was taking levels measurements on a site once where the owner's sister lived in the house next door. Obviously he hadn't told her I was coming so as I was setting up she came out to see what I was up to and gave a very suspicious "Can I help you?". I said "Yeah that would be great. Grab that measuring staff and stand over there please.".
I get "can I help you?" a lot and no one ever actually wants to help me.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
The local shop seem to have returned to business as usual They're asking for social distancing but letting people in with no restrictions and are letting people buy whatever they want. I saw a bloke cough into his hand and carry on touching things and the staff had to ask a couple of people to respect distancing while queuing. Still I got 3 lemons so we can go back to living like civilised people again and that's the main thing.

Bit worrying though @wild edges. I suppose their defence is 'well we'd have to shut completely and then we'll go out of business' but that's no comfort to folk who contract it and then die.... I hate the Miss, Mrs thing too @raisingirl. If they see you have children, they often automatically assume Mrs. I use Ms for myself as my daughter has the same initial, and she's Miss. I don't like it though, but as I'm divorced, I don't see what else I can do. Men have it so easy.... @Lyn - should have handed him a brush and told him to get started instead of making tw*tty comments.

I don’t see why women have to be categorised based on their marital status, it’s ridiculous and backwards. There should just be Ms. and Mr. as far as I’m concerned, but then you’d probably have to throw in a Mx too, pronunciation tbd.
Easy here. Girls are mademoiselle and women are madame whether married, divorced, cohabiting or not. Maybe different in the big cities tho. I really dislike the sound of Ms.
