Say there was lockdown today, how are you set? on 13:27 - Mar 19 by jeera
If you've got any sense you'll stick an online order in now.
You probably won't get a slot for a month but when it does arrive you might be glad you did it.
If things change then you can cancel.
I'd suggest anyone in the considered vulnerable group does so to be honest, and if you tell them then they're more likely to honour the booking and may even offer something sooner.
We have a weekly delivery order a random item to secure your spot then complete it later.

Agreed. Unfortunately there is a lot of stupid and selfish people.
I can't honestly believe people would normally have a months worth of food in their house but maybe they have a large house/storage.
I would hope the things I have could last 1.5-2 weeks at a stretch bar milk/bread etc.
When you live 12 miles from the nearest supermarket, you limit your trips in both to save fuel and to reduce carbon footprint. I usually do 2 x fortnightly trips/month.
Nearest shop of any kind is in village 3 miles away & has v. limited range.

I'm irritated by this:
"Booking it in a month and cancelling it if not needed isn't great advice really. You're still blocking other people from getting those slots. It is just causing more problems down the line. we all need to be sensible."
Like I'd suggest that for everyone.
The 'vulnerable' Vaughan if you get to see this. People in need.

They have been in some cases countering their own advice, plus the Language used by Johnson in particular has also been rightly criticised.
Information yes, but there is too much and too often requires a level of understanding that is beyond 90% of the population.
Mis-understanding advice fuels even more panic and the circle is complete.
Disagree. The language has been pretty standard from what I've heard. "requires a level of understanding that is beyond 90% of the population." What?! Have you got any examples of such language? The population must be proper thick if they can't understand the language of Boris!
made a load of homemade lasagne, shepherds pie, curry and chilli last week and froze. Much to other halfs amusement calculated we have 94 servings. my only real worry is milk
This is where batch cooking and loads of Tupperware boxes come into play. Popped out this morning and got two packs of mince, a bag of onions and will use beans etc in the cupboard to make a weeks worth of chilli.
Got loads of porridge oats I can use for breakfast and as I'm working largely from home and not building up too much of an appetite, am tending to forego lunch.
I must admit I do now wish i got some snacks to reach for during the inevitable boredom.

its easy, there has been 4 wood pigeons who have always had a good living feeding on my garden produce for the last 2 years, so if things get bad they're in the pot
forensic experts say footers and spruces fingerprints were not found at the scene after the weekends rows

See, this is why we disagree often
Because you’re an absolute wrong’un
Uncomfortable though it makes me, I have to say this is my standard approach too.
Mainly because if I didn't unused bread would be stale by the end of the week, but also apparently toasting from frozen affects the glycaemic response or something; so is better for you.
I am referring to sliced stuff and not the lovely freshly made loaves I sometimes get from the bakery which I tend to scoff that very day because I can't help it.
