During the past week I've helped a couple of elderly neighbours with shopping etc. I've known them for years but when I phoned one of them this morning to arrange delivery they mentioned their own children had not been visiting them and it made me think about my role in helping them? During this time I've only dropped the bits off at doorstep and stood away from them.


Both neighbours mentioned their own sons and daughters had not visited.

I've been trying to get food for my elderly neighbours who are self isolating. They're too afraid to go out to the supermarket for the special older people hour. Does anyone know if there's anyway of getting home delivery for them. The supermarkets I've tried are all booked up. I'm not able to get everything they need at the moment from the shops.

Some supermarkets are allowing the elderly first access to delivery slots, so hopefully they will start to have more options..


If it's italian, spanish, french or Portuguese i can try and help translate or explain.. But I'm guessing it might be a less common language.

Thanks Alan.


You've clarified the situation I'm in.

Thanks Finderloo - they're Turkish Cypriots. Their son drove over today with supplies, they're well stocked up for now.


Thanks James - the link on that site for accessing support doesn't work - do you know if they're still running that service? I'll try emailing them

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
