communism bitch posted:Development! Bit late for your colleague now, but if anyone here runs into this issue, I highly recommend you harry your GP about getting a letter confirming you are high risk, so you can show this to your employer and keep safe at home. I tried this 2 weeks ago and they umm and arrd about it and said maybe I was above average risk. Last week tried again and got a letter within one day and told not to come to the GP surgery under any circumstances because of how high risk I was.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Just went to my Waitrose (3 mins walk from home) and Home Bargains (1 min walk from home). Still no bog roll. That's over a week now with no bog roll in either store. Against all odds, came back with nine rolls of Royal Assent. Flour(???) and eggs still wiped out but bog roll, pasta and bananas were almost-but-not-quite, which is better than the last few days. Bread and milk was plentiful. peanut- posted:https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1242011054986723328 What's most infuriating is the journalists pretend that they don't know this is what's going on, and they're "just reporting".

Yeah I just nipped to my local big Sainsbury's and stock seemed to be returning to normal. Plenty of milk and bread, still a bit of cleaning products left. Can't say I looked for bog roll because we already had a stash (there's only 2 of us so we always buy more than we need) but the food aisles seemed more stocked than they have been. One thing I have noticed is that there's always been plenty of ready meals. I know they're not the most healthy of options (and more expensive) but I'm surprised the middle class panic buyers aren't stockpiling those like some pseudo-MRE. I've been grabbing a couple every time I go out because I might as well eat that rather than make my own while fresh meat is low.

Same, I've just been eating microwave meals for the last week because every time I go to the supermarket the shelves are empty of ingredients but the ready meals section is still full. I figure it's because 90% of microwave meals are for one person, which is no use for entire families stuck at home.

Also, ready meals generally don't last long. People are panic buying in order to be able to last a while.

Hope they've stocked up on Ben & Jerrys, getting fed up of them only having Phish Food. Gimme something different to gorge myself on dammit. About to go into town when the bus gets here in 20 minutes. Comrade Fakename posted:Also, ready meals generally don't last long. People are panic buying in order to be able to last a while. Bung them in the freezer, they'll last a good long while. Obviously if you leave them in a cupboard they'll not last but if you've got freezer space because nothing else is available to buy then use it. Though I'm sympathetic because the place I rented in Glasgow had one tiny fridge for the 2 of us, and just an icebox, no freezer. loving balls like.

I know we all remember them as sad microwavable lasagnae, but there's some good stuff if you look. The Co-Op used to do microwavable rice/beans/pasta in sauce type things that I used for ingredients for other larger less lazy meals because it worked out cheaper than buying all of those things separately (unless I wanted to cook for 40 and freeze, and I don't have that much freezer space).

Biggus Dickus posted:Any idea when the proper bank account will be set up? I want to set up a standing order and forget about it. Yeah I'm the same - done a one-off donation but not a standing order yet. To answer your question, it's going to take a few weeks to process the application even after we get it together, so realistically not for at least a month and probably more. We will definitely shout in the thread when it happens though!

Shopping update: Everything apart from bog roll, eggs and (most) pasta available at my local Asda, and queues were less than they are at 9am Saturday when I normally shop. Also apparently the people waiting outside to get in at 9am to shop after NHS staff were allowed their hour applauded and cheered them as they came out, which is kinda cringeworthy but also a bit

Oh look I heard back from the landlord about trying to leave before contract.quote:Hi TP, Not even an attempt to seem sympathetic! This isn't even from a sole landlord, I'm renting from a big plc company that can absolutely afford to take the hit. I will not be paying, gently caress 'em.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Greece have locked down hard. There are 8 legitimate reasons to be out and you need to get a chitty before you do. My buddy in Athens was raging about this because they put the lock down in place before any of the forms or anything were ready and changed the system three times before the full announcement, it led to much confusion.

The staff applauded them on the way in and gave everyone a bunch of flowers (probably mothers day stock they couldn't shift). made me a little emotional. Even if it is stuff headed for the bin, someone still had to have the humanity to think of doing this. People are often selfish, frequently dumb, and almost invariably have ridiculous opinions, but most of them are still fundamentally good, and we need to remind ourselves of this occasionally otherwise whats the point?

Went to the co-op over the road from me because I was running low on milk. No bread or loo roll but plenty of milk, most of the fresh meat had all gone except some bacon and sausages and various breaded chicken pieces which I'm loathe to freeze

ThomasPaine posted:And precisely how hosed are you with a CCJ because honestly half of me wants to take the hit on principle It stays on your record for 6 years. My relative has CCJs falling out of her ears, lives on benefits and was able to get a mortgage. Meanwhile yours truly, perfect credit record, never missed a payment on a previously held mortgage, the computer says no. Do not ask me how, I have no idea. She is slim, pretty, blonde and does a good 'quivering lower lip' act. Has got off with a caution for things (fiddling the electric meter for example by drilling a hole in the back and inserting a fine needle just to drag the spinning wheel) that would have me clapped up in irons in the deepest dungeons or breaking rocks in Alcatraz for 20 years. Ed: and as we already mentioned, they will only be 2 weeks short because presumably they will keep your deposit. There are going to be thousands of these in the future resulting from this crisis. I doubt it will have much impact going forward. BUT I'm not a financial advisor. Ed2: Another relative had £42k debts and walked away. Lay low for 7 years and they're all written off. No problem at all now getting credit cards etc. Why yes, all my pretty relatives are crooks. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Mar 23, 2020 |

My partner has broken our isolation a couple of times to go for a walk along the Exe, which is directly outside our flat complex. To get there she only needs to touch the building door handle and the button to get out of the outer gate, and the buttons to get back in, all of which she does with her sleeve or something, which immediately then goes in the wash. When she walks, she'll see maybe two or three other people along our length doing the same thing, and they'll be, like, 200 metres away most of the time (and certainly never close than ten) I think I already know the answer, but this is probably as close as we get to safety as we can get without absolute, total lockdown, right? I can cope fine, since I'm a fucken goon (haven't left the flat for a week now, and I'm sailing along just fine) but she can't bear it for more than three or four days at a time, despite my gently nudging her to lump it. Should I nudge harder?
