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

    • And everything was settling down and then you play the mischievous card. 
    • I am an experienced, self-employed gardener and I have been maintaining gardens in East Dulwich and the surrounding area for the last few years.  I am now starting to move away from garden maintenance work in order to specialise in garden consultancy and design. The combination of my design background and love of plants makes this a natural progression for me. I can provide my clients with: Bespoke, on-site garden consultations (one-off or seasonal) - Plant advice e.g. pruning/dividing/training demonstrations, advice on growing problems, what plant where, container gardens. Design - Ideas to revamp an outside space, drawings of new layouts, site specific planting plans. For examples of my work please visit Instagram: gardening_services1 Feel free to get in touch if you think I may be able to help you: 07580364256 All the best Clare  
    • How many Premier League football stadiums are there in London?  40,000 people plus coming into residential areas every week. 
    • Thought a bit of balance was useful, for many there are loud disturbances over much of the year. Not sure if several days of noise from  a festival is worse than the asses who regularly use lounge power tools, in particular to cut through steel.  This forum is anything but positive.  I was being a little mischievous.  Yes loud DIY projects and builders working out of hours does get my goat.  But not enough to start a thread of proper rant.
