Any recommendations where some basic shopping supplies can be bought locally? Have any shops applied procedures to allow us to keep away from each other? A list of these and what the procedures are, advertised on here, may lead others to follow suit.


Perhaps if you do suggest somewhere, you could add what they usually stock.

In my experience shops do allow only one or two people in the shop at a time but people cannot get it into their head to allow space between each other whe lining up outside.


Last friday Roses outside line was down the street but all bunched up together also Moxons had the same problem.


Its people not shops and if you read the thread on Dulwich Park today you can see people do not care.

Sadly it will be too late for many of them, but even worse, too late for the many others they have infected during the time they were incubating CV and had no symptoms.


ETA: Although come to think of it, these two groups overlap .....

The owner of the small independent shop next to Funeral Directors next to the Plough is the only one I have seen in the area who wears gloves and a mask. It's a very small shop so will be for basic supplies only. As of yesterday he had good coffee, rice and a small selection of fresh fruit and veg so it's a great option if you wish to top up basic supplies. He was closed today so I went to local Sainsbury's next door. There the staff wears no protection and doesn't respect social distancing AT ALL. The way the shop is laid out it's really hard to navigate without bumping into each other. Why when independent local shops are closing their doors or imposing a queueing system outside their shops - should one of the leading UK supermarket not instigate strict safety rules for their staff to follow?

There's an app that tells you official hygiene ratings for all the shops near you. Not specifically a guide to covid-19-related hygiene, but I think it's safe to assume the more hygienic shops are safer than the less hygienic ones.


The app's called 'Scores On the Doors'.

but I think it's safe to assume the more hygienic shops are safer than the less hygienic ones.


I think the issue may be more on circulation space within a store and the store's policy on numbers - most food is packaged so the problem is with proximity to other people. Most local/ corner shops have maximised their stocking space so minimising circulation. That may be their problem.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
