Thank you. I appreciated that they wdn't be open at the moment but asked my question as hadn't expected to hear that both shops were empty of goods. Maybe they are recognising that Covid is going to be around for a long time and taking opportunity to re-organise shops.

Non-Essential - Unintended Consequences and all that !!


On Friday I very urgently needed some mobility aids for someone leaving hospital. The Physios and Occupational Therapists advised me to try The British Heart Foundation as the 'always have plenty of what you need in stock'.


Well, they're all shut. Without these 'non-essential' items the patient would have remained blocking a bed in hospital.


I've sorted it all out now thanks and we have what we need. It did though cause a lot of extra stress and hours of hassle when it was imperative to get them out of a potentially covid infected area ASAP.

Some of the paid staff at St. Christopher's are taking the opportunity to sort out stock and tidy up the premises.

Depending on mobility aids- many pharmacies stock these and can order stuff as does Boots. Surprised that the OT and Pysio were not able to give you some mobility aids - there is usually frames, crutches and sticks in stock.

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
