No gates on Peckham Rye common.

12.15pm this afternoon, the queue was all around the car park to well past the back wall, 25min wait to get in, then was told at the door to "hurry up" too go in!!!! Whilst in the store, a fight broke out between two guys in the fruit and veg isle, staff not really interceding but happy to run up and watch. The emergency alarm was left to just screech away for ages. Five police cars plus unmarked cars arrived to sort out the altercation. Staff more interested in standing around in groups and chatting, rather then really doing much work and re-stocking the empty shelves.

it's all well and good posting these messages, BUT the reality is that Sainsbury's have had and continue to have no delivery slots available, coupled to now making people queue to go in to the stores in the knowledge they also will queue as usual at check out to leave and thus making the shopping task much longer. ps. can you make your posts more concise.

This is total madness, why are people continuing to panic buy? Why can't people get a grip and start behaving sensibly, where are they storing everything they are buying and why do they need to shop so frequently? Have they not understood the instruction to stay at home and only go out for essentials. Additionally why are delivery slots constantly not available? Even if you are fortunate to get a delivery slot, their is no guarantee that what you have ordered will actually be available for delivery. Wait for stampedes and riots to begin to get food.

Blah Blah - in total agreement with what you say.

Just released from the official data - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public#number-of-cases 24/03, Number of reported UK covid 19 infections, 8077, yesterdays figure was 6650 24/03, Number of reported UK covid 19 deaths, 442, yesterdays figure was 335 24/03, % of hospitalised UK covid 19 deaths, 5.47%.

Yes peopel are losing their lives HOWEVER as others have said, IMO it is a vital service.

Asda & Sainsbury's still no delivery slots, if we're suppossed to stay at home when are they going to get on top of this??

The infected figures come from the Government website, so they are officially correct. At least we agree that the 5% who die in hospital who were infected is correct. If the stats are renamed as; 23/03, Number of hospitalised UK covid 19 infections, 6650 23/03, Number of hospitalised UK covid 19 deaths, 335 23/03, % of hospitalised UK covid 19 deaths, 5.04%, 5 in every 100 infected people have died.

The actual Rules from .Gov.UK 23/03/2020 NEW RULES ON STAYING AT HOME AND AWAY FROM OTHERS The single most important action we can all take, in fighting coronavirus, is to stay at home in order to protect the NHS and save lives. When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection. That is why the government is now (23 March 2020) introducing three new measures. 1. Requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes 2. Closing non-essential shops and community spaces 3. Stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public Every citizen must comply with these new measures. The relevant authorities, including the police, will be given the powers to enforce them ? including through fines and dispersing gatherings. These measures are effective immediately. The Government will look again at these measures in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows this is possible. 1. STAYING AT HOME You should only leave the house for one of four reasons. ● Shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible. ● One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household. ● Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person. ● Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home. These four reasons are exceptions - even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household. These measures must be followed by everyone. Separate advice is available for individuals or households who are isolating, and for the most vulnerable who need to be shielded. If you work in a critical sector outlined in this guidance, or your child has been identified as vulnerable, you can continue to take your children to school. 2. CLOSING NON-ESSENTIAL SHOPS AND PUBLIC SPACES Last week, the Government ordered certain businesses - including pubs, cinemas and theatres - to close. The Government is now extending this requirement to a further set of businesses and other venues, including: ● all non-essential retail stores - this will include clothing and electronics stores; hair, beauty and nail salons; and outdoor and indoor markets, excluding food markets. ● libraries, community centres, and youth centres. ● indoor and outdoor leisure facilities such as bowling alleys, arcades and soft play facilities. ● communal places within parks, such as playgrounds, sports courts and outdoor gyms. ● places of worship, except for funerals attended by immediate families. ● hotels, hostels, bed and breakfasts, campsites, caravan parks, and boarding houses for commercial/leisure use (excluding permanent residents and key workers). 3. STOPPING PUBLIC GATHERINGS To make sure people are staying at home and apart from each other, the Government is also stopping all public gatherings of more than two people. There are only two exceptions to this rule: ● where the gathering is of a group of people who live together - this means that a parent can, for example, take their children to the shops if there is no option to leave them at home. ● where the gathering is essential for work purposes - but workers should be trying to minimise all meetings and other gatherings in the workplace. In addition, the Government is stopping social events, including weddings, baptisms and other religious ceremonies. This will exclude funerals, which can be attended by immediate family. DELIVERING THESE NEW MEASURES These measures will reduce our day to day contact with other people. They are a vital part of our efforts to reduce the rate of transmission of coronavirus. Every citizen is instructed to comply with these new measures. The Government will therefore be ensuring the police and other relevant authorities have the powers to enforce them, including through fines and dispersing gatherings where people do not comply. They will initially last for the three weeks from 23 March, at which point the Government will look at them again and relax them if the evidence shows this is possible.

23/03, Number of reported UK covid 19 infections, 6650 23/03, Number of UK covid 19 deaths, 335 23/03, % of UK covid 19 deaths, 5.04%, 5 in every 100 infected people have died.

MKK in Nunhead has now closed down, my understanding is that Coop Food are to take over the site (four shop fronts) and open a new Coop on the site. Whilst this may potentially be good for the community having a national retailer there, my fear is the impact this will have on the long established local businesses.

Please support your local shops who are the back bone of the community and offer great service and assistance to those that make regular use of them.

Which will bring out the locusts again to clear those shelves.

How about One Tree Hill and Camberwell Old and New Cemetery's that are used for recreation?

Hello John." More of the voice of doom, how depressing do you aim to make it for others?? Why are your posts so damn negative?

How about One Tree Hill and Camberwell New and Old Cemetery which are used for recreational purposes as well?

22/03, Number of reported UK covid 19 infections, 5683 22/03, Number of UK covid 19 deaths, 281 % of UK covid 19 deaths, 4.944% and gradually rising, tomorrow its likely to be in excess of 5%, i.e. 5 in every 100 infected people have died.

Technology is a "tool", it's not your friend and in fact can become the "enemy". And yes you do sound damn condescending about people who use cash and make use of the interweb. Nothing wrong with contactless, some people just prefer the additional security of a pin. When you've had your details bought and sold several times over without your prior knowledge or consent, then and just then you'll realise why people maybe happy to purchase online but prefer to not do so with their banking. Technology has positives but like anything it has negatives, and also probably don't forget, we were using calculators probably even before you was even born!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, did I forget to mention cash is king, that's what discounts are all about, ask any trades person.

yeah, like she said she was ill in bed, hence why she posted and asked. Why can't people read the OP's original post before jumping in, FFS.

Following NHS guidelines

Have been using Krystals for about 10 years for prescriptions, they are probably the best stocked, managed and run pharmacy around here, always caring and helpful, even in difficult circumstances. Their service far exceeds the likes of Day Lewis Dulwich on Forest Hill Road who, IMO are the least helpful around here, I have no idea how that business survives.

Please don't scaremonger, perhaps think before posting.
