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.

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!

      Bricklayer - Keith Burgess

      By Kaaaate · Posted

      Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough and we already have him booked in to do another job for us.

      Where to get a wooden board cut?

      If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.

      Butter and Crust

      I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
