Maggie that was awful of Morrisons, the very least they could have done was to contact her and tell her not let her wait all that time without any information. I had my tesco shop today delivered early by five minutes, one sub that was perfectly acceptable and nothing missing which was good in an order not far short of £90. However, there was no Christmas meat on there and I had checked regularly and replaced items that went out of stock over the weekend.

OH has just had an email from someone in his walking group.

Not boasting about being in tier 2 but complaining how difficult it is to cope.

‘Cos, the doctor, dentist, chemist and nearest shops are all here in Tier 4. Boo hoo!

It's really weird, isn't it? I would have thought we produced enough turkeys of our own to stock our shelves for those who wanted turkey for Christmas.

It may be that if the travel ban continues, producers will have to make sure their produce is in a container that can be hoisted up from the back of a lorry onto a container ship to be met by another lorry at the other side - in the same way that the vaccine is coming in (according to Grant Shapps).

Although, I would have thought all containers carted on the back of a lorry would have fit the bill. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell me the difference between those types of containers?

Boo hoo indeed, names.

Extra grit in their morning grits is what some people need. ;-)

(By the way, the trip to Surrey is off!)

There always seem to be turkeys missing from food deliveries at Christmas. This year must be more difficult as flocks have recently been destroyed because of bird flu. It was ducks within the last few days.

Edit: JL I did look up the journey - phew - that was going to be a very long day.
