  1. That's interesting teddyboy23. Queue this morning when I got there around 11.30 was nearly back to the nursery. Came out around half an hour later and there was no queue but then again there was torriential rain!
  2. Can't believe that people are making a trip to IKEA, let alone worried about what food they are serving!
  3. Went to Sainsburys yesterday afternoon and found there was a slight queue. The entrance to the Starbucks (and way out from Sainsburys before the covid situation) had people waiting outside and collecting a cup of coffee. There were a couple of tables set up outside. This changed the queue situation to Sainsburys a bit as social distancing had to be kept. Just a bit surprised that Sainsburys would let this happen as they have been so strict with the queuing system for the past 3/4 months.
  4. I drove past around two weeks ago and noticed the Belair car park was being used as a Covid testing place.
  5. The single deck buses might have increased the number of people allowed to travel. I've been travelling on the 42 bus for the past couple of weeks where numbers have been restricted to 10. Suddenly changed this morning to 20. Probably because of increased numbers of shops opening on Monday.
  6. Silly question, but do you leave the food bin in sight of the refuse collectors?
  7. I don't think so. Was there yesterday and the whole of the meat and cheese section is still completely closed off.
  8. Not in ED but over in Herne Hill the caf? provincial (sorry for spelling) that runs alongside the railway arch has closed down. Apparently they had fires, a flood and now the Covid-19 has shut them down for good.

One for the history books in fact : Your post doesn't make sense.
  10. Found a pair of adult light blue patterned fingerless gloves this morning in Sainsburys near the bread section. Left them with customer services.
  11. No queue this morning at 10.30 although coming out at 11am there was a queue of about 25-30 people. Found a pair of adult light blue patterned fingerless gloves on the floor at the bread section and left with customer services.
  12. Yes it's slightly quieter during the week but during the past couple of months I've regularly stood out on Dog Kennel Hill to shop for over 25 minutes on a week day as been shopping for my family and for vulnerable neighbours.
  13. Drove through Dulwich Village this morning and the queue for the Gail's caf? place was ridiculous! There must have been around 50-75 people queuing! Up to the entrance of Dulwich Park, I saw families going in with their cakes and coffees!
