the isles of the new co-op are definitely wider & more spacious, must have been v busy when you went. We found they've added lots more new lines too. The new tills meant to stop shop lifting so can only be a good thing

the main difference is the new tills have a weight sensor in the bagging shelf so when you scan the item and don't put it down on the shelf side it knows & will throw a wobbly if you don't, thus preventing theft, hopefully

there is someone serving at the cigarette stand & new self serve tills. There is a big space at the front where the old tills & front isles were & that stuff is all in new chiller cabinets.

None of the staff in Barry?s were wearing face masks last few times I?ve been in also there was no one at the door of Co-op on Saturday to control how many people were entering the shop and it was packed with no social distancing:/

just food and drink stalls were there just now

There are only 6 people at a time allowed in the main post office on Lordship Lane so that?s good & I don?t think they have stamps that you lick anymore as far as I know they are ones that you peel and stick. Having said that I popped into Farmers for some kitchen roll the shop was empty but all of a sudden there were people all around & I could hardly move , it was quite scary they don?t seem to control how many people enter the shop:(

It?s driving me nuts, seems to be getting louder

Sorted

He just knocked on my door too, I looked through the window to check if it was a delivery for someone else in the family, when I said no thanks through the window, he just said that's ok thanks and walked off quickly. I didn't see him use his mobile though.

How can someone arrested for attempted murder and the other for gbh be released on bail? Surely not?

Don't fancy using a machine. Going to use the post office instead.

I haven't been in since they changed it but need to pay some cash in. Does anyone know if they still have paying in slips inside?

I wonder if anyone has actually talked to the police about him, it doesn?t sound as if he?s even been reported because nothing has been done:(

Why isn?t the police doing anything? Why haven?t they arrested him yet?

just put it in a black bin bag in the green bin if you can't wait, that is what I would do

No the vets said they couldn't come out. It's in the road by the edge of the pavement.

There is a dead fox outside no 313/315. Contacted vets who referred to fox project but they are closed. Feel terrible just leaving it don?t have a car. Can anyone help?

I've heard very noisy kids too, the sound really carries & echoes - not sure if they?re the same ones but I thought it was coming from one of the houses or flats on Barry Rd whose courtyard is the other side of the back gardens on Hindmans. I would definitely report it.

I do same as you with large cardboard that won?t fit in the bin & they always take it away so I think you?ve been unlucky also if you leave the cardboard to get wet/rained on it will soften up & you can tear it up easily into smaller pieces to go in the bin.

Collection is 'free' but you need to book it yourself either online or over the phone. Works out cheaper than having a large brown bin if you don't use it much.

I used to have a small brown bin but it didn?t go too well and eventually I gave up. I think I threw it away in the green bin :O

I put mine in the green bin, always have.

I haven't made up my mind what to do yet.
