Great!

Are they on Facebook or Twitter? I've had problems resolved in the past by posting them on the relevant company's page on Facebook.

You need to double check the description before you buy it. That's easier if you are buying it online I guess.

I'm high risk (ancient plus immune compromised plus asthma) and self-isolating. There's a limit to how much you can do, but I'm being very careful. Probably if you aren't high risk it's less important. However, at the moment I feel pretty crap so I'm hoping all my precautions haven't been in vain :(

Yes, have been doing that with other things, just couldn't be arsed to wash the peanut butter immediately. Also quarantining post 🙂

They arrived today, gave me a one hour time slot this morning, gave me half an hour's notice them told me when the driver was a few minutes away. Excellent service, so I have no idea what happened yesterday, however at least I now know I will get plenty of warning. The peanut butter etc is now in quarantine, however .....

And clearly that isn't happening. No, it doesn't seem to be.

The crunchy peanut butter sender has got back to me saying there has been a "slight delay" and "the parcel will be delivered tomorrow" and "sorry for any inconvenience". Oh I am so looking forward to the peanut butter :))

Sorry dbboy have been weeding and only checking my phone sporadically. Will delete some messages shortly. Thanks everyone for your advice. It's nothing valuable but includes two tubs of crunchy peanut butter which have been unavailable for weeks 🤣

The information on what to do is crystal clear, yes. I disagree that it is clear as to exactly why, for example that somebody can transmit the virus to many others whilst showing no symptoms whatsoever themselves. And also the exponential nature of the transmission, and how that changes if one person initially transmits the virus to two, or to ten, and so on and so on. It certainly wasn't clear on the government information I got with the letter from Boris. If people don't understand the reasons why they are being asked to do things, they are less likely to do them, I would have thought.

I had a DPD notification yesterday that a parcel would be delivered today. The tracking says DPD has not yet received the parcel. A load of automated responses via supposedly live chat have not shed any light. The firm who sent the parcel just have a message on their phone line saying due to circumstances they are not taking phone calls. Messages via their contact form probably won't be answered for days. All I want to know is whether DPD will at some point give me some sort of estimated time window within which my parcel will arrive. And how much notice I will have of that. Does anybody know? It is only an issue because I want to go to my allotment (allowed exercise and easy to keep away from people) for a few hours,but I don't want to miss the delivery :( It won't take long to get back from the allotment as I drive, due to self-isolating. The text says DPD Local. Is that different to DPD?

Because there has not been a sufficiently clear and coordinated public information campaign which tells people not just what they must and mustn't do, but also exactly WHY.

I've just looked at some videos and I'm now sure it was a dunnock. Thanks everyone 🙂

It was very similar to that, but it had some sparrow like brown markings (not sure how to describe them) here and there. I have occasionally lately heard birdsong in the garden I didn't recognise. I will look up dunnock and chiffchaff!

No, it didn't have a cap at all :)

Usually terrapins arrive in ponds because people buy them as pets when they are still very small, and don't realise how big they get. Then they put them in a nearby pond ....

I did wonder if it is > a dunnock, so would be interested too, to know if > that is likely. Yes that was what we saw. It seemed to have a longer slimmer body than a sparrow, and maybe a longer tail, and definitely a longer narrower beak. It was sort of pale greyish-brown, but with sparrow-like markings in some places. But the pictures I've looked up of dunnocks don't look exactly like the one we saw, however apparently their plumage (?) changes towards the breeding season.

Saw what we think was a dunnock in the garden this morning. Is that likely round here?
