We have a spreadsheet, with a list of volunteers {{covering all streets within Goose Green}} you can view via a link in our whatsapp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/LApspsBjIAn5LOJifuRLWO. If you are elderly, vulnerable, self-isolating & in need of support, you can edit the spreadsheet to add your name, details & how we may be able to help you in the "individuals" section.

"What does this mean exactly?"


he reads these things on his facebook groups and thinks they are "a truth"


It would be funny if it wasn't people like him getting us into further trouble - imagine looking at the current virus situation and thinking proceeding with brexit was a good idea


Do we want or have time to negitiate any deals? No

Will we need as much cash as possible to deal with this outbreak? Yes

IS that best achieved by maintining trading with our closes and largest partner? Yes?



WIll that penetrate minds of DF and co? No


And thats ignoring the whole fallacy in his post about EU sovereign nations being able to control their borders


Or how leaving the EU helps UK deal with this siutuation in any way


"a good time" - sheesh

I do not use Facebook. I do not have a Facebook account so the rest of your Post was irrelevant as most if not all of your very own posts are.

The number of people spitting on the streets of ED has always disgusted me, mostly those in their late teens guilty of it. To see it still happening and within a few feet or less of others both on LL and the side roads around Goose Green in the current crisis is just unbelievable.


Image very much related!!!

In case it had escaped your notice, supermarkets deliver to your door :))


In any case, it has now been said that complete self isolation is not in fact what is being proposed.

Yes I had a delivery a few days back.


There weren't all that many slots available but I had no trouble getting one with a delivery between 9 and 10 pm.

From now on you leave your homes at your own peril-

If you do not have govt permission to be outdoors you must stay in your houses.


The govt may arrest and detain you if you disobey these new laws! #coronavirus #coronavirusoutbreak


Is this for real.. ??

It must depend on the area and provider, this morning I managed to book Ocado for 10 days time, I had to wait in a virtual queue for over half an hour just to get on the site, then later there were problems getting the payment to clear...

Just watched the downing Street press conference....the govt is 'recommending' people don't got to clubs, pubs, theatres etc.....they are not forcing shutdown.


Although this advice will no doubt have the effect of forcing closure of many venues....

This is the quote - I'll check how many drunk students are out tonight (from my balcony) :)


"Now is the time for everyone to stop non-essential contact with others and to stop all unnecessary travel. We need people to start working from home where they possibly can. And you should avoid pubs, clubs, theatres and other such social venues."

I?ve asked before without an answer, but I?ll ask again:


Why don?t you use the internet to establish facts rather than peddle BS?

Looks like a tough period coming up for local pubs and restaurants (and their employees). I'm assuming that those local restaurants which source larger portion of turnover through delivery services like ubereats and deliveroo (as opposed to relying on in-house diners) will be the ones that are most likely to remain open....


Guessing that's probably going to be pizza places, curry joints and Chinese restaurant?....but that's based on nothing more that my own speculation!

      Shower enclosure installation

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By yaymukund · Posted

      Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
