Sainsbo had coffee in stock yesterday lunch time, don't know about potatoes, there seems to be a general shortage of eggs all around, don't know why as they have limited shelf life of a couple of weeks max. The butcher I use had none yesterday and said people had been coming from other parts of south London to buy 10 trays at a time from them, they have now restricted quantities of eggs to max one tray per Regular customer.
I've been to a few shops selling groceries over the last two to three weeks. I'm pleased to say they all had food and alcohol. Similarly filling stations have petrol and diesel. I'm happy to provide a daily update. Although I expect that my reports wont change. Sorry I can't tell you which shops I am using as you may rush out and clear the shelves of my favourite biscuits.

The chap supervising it today was letting in groups of 2 to 4 every 3/4 mins from what I could see.


Despite this, there were still pockets of busy aisles and the queue for self service tills is longer because they're the only tills accepting cash now.

From the Sainsburys website today:


'Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, all our supermarkets will dedicate 08.00 to 09.00 to serving elderly customers, disabled customers and carers'


You could also try the click & collect service online but I think you would probably qualify for priority delivery registration as well - a bit tricky in practice, but possible.

Hi Richard,


Sorry, I don't have a clear response to that (I rely on deliveries), but I think that if you both have a medical reason and the two of you need to shop together you shouldn't have a problem both getting in. If you should have any difficulties you can make a complaint (see below for details of free resources available on Fry Law website).


With best wishes,


Ilona



'Equality and human rights champion Fry Law has a raft of template letters which people may wish to use during the Coronavirus crisis, including complaint letters to supermarkets, designed to provide priority access for disabled people. They can be downloaded for free at www.frylaw.co.uk.


There are so many fast moving decisions affecting disability rights at the moment. Fry Law has created a forum where people can discuss and advise on the law online. The forum will meet from 6-7pm on Tuesdays and Fridays.


Cathy Casserley and her team at Cloisters Chambers will be on hand, together with BSL English Interpreters Love Language, to answer questions and enter into conversation.


There will be different guests for each session, to reflect different themes.

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
