They should be - email below from yesterday....


I wanted to update you on everything we are doing to keep you and our colleagues safe when you shop with us.


From today, everyone in England must wear a face covering when shopping or working in our stores, unless they are exempt.


Throughout the week we?ll be putting new signs and posters up in all of our stores and we will have greeters and security guards at the front of our supermarkets to support our colleagues as we help everyone get used to the new rules.


We continue to thoroughly clean trollies, baskets and checkouts and, as an extra precautionary measure, we have increased the fresh air circulating to make sure our stores are well-ventilated. We will of course also make sure there is plenty of hand sanitiser available as you come in and out of our shops.


We are doing everything we can to keep everyone safe this festive season ? thank you for your ongoing support.


Best wishes,


Simon

you have food in your stores that has no covering on it and is vunrable? its been like that for years even before covid . many times ive been in yours and other stores aka tesco sommerfields etc . with flys on the exposed bread rolls cakes etc ?

Was in today, didn't see any greeters at the door, but tbh not a problem for me. Didn't see anyone cleaning trollies, baskets or checkouts either.


Only saw this during second lockdown in Morrisons and that didn't last long there at the time.


What was noticeable was that the deli counters have now been removed and replaced with a "humunges" chilled wine fridge, hot takeaway heated section and a general quick food section (sandwiches, crisps, drinks etc).

During last lockdown, security staff at doors were reminding people to wear masks, One guy got very angry and was aggressive to staff and a few customers and said he was not going to wear a mask. He challenged everyone to make him and then said he was exempt.


I have seen a few people wearing lanyards saying that they were exempt for medical reasons- perhaps this should be mandatory for 'genuine' people.

Do Sainsbury's sell uncovered cakes? I'd always be very wary as you're really trusting people to have washed their hands before handling said cakes.


I've seen people pick them up and put them back down again.....


I don't like Sainsbury but I think they are all much the same - they don't pay their staff well enough to go above and beyond.


Waitrose is generally a bit better.

As for cleaning trolleys and the like - it is a good thing they do it but to be on the safe side, use alcohol gel after using them and/or wipe down yourself before use. Picking up Covid from a fomite deposited on a hard surface and then transferred to one's eye or nostril, etc. is unlikely, as it is mainly transferred from one person to another through breathing the infected person's exhaled breath at closer quarters (hence the need for space between people and good ventilation to dilute the concentration of virus particles).

You can buy these Lanyards online - no test that you are genuinely exempt. it's a self exemption test.

If you are medically excempt from wearing a mask.

You possibly for health reasons, need to wear it more than others,

I have asthma and carry lots of medication, and find masks a pain.

I cannot breathe, steam up, cant see etc.

But rather struggle with a mask than covid.

    • Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop? 
    • I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.  
    • HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
