You won’t be going anywhere, so just cycle instead.

Can’t carry a week’s shopping on my bike.Not a able to fit panniers

I’m in the same situation.Sheduled service coming up and M O T I did here that MOTwould be delayed for up to three months but you could be prosecuted for driving an unroadworthy vehicle

i was reading earlier today about that.
garages are classed as key businesses.
still book mot and have it done. the 3 month mot exemptions are only for lorries and buses.

dont quote me though

The challenge here is that'll take a few days to get this into place, particularly with those who'll ignore the instructions. I'm guessing gps and number plate tracking will be used here.

Then 2 weeks to see the impact. Which is why they'll be in place for at least 3 weeks, although I'm predicting 6-8 weeks. British Cycling and others have cancelled everything until the end of June, which is expecting 12 weeks.

History in the making ...

I'm not sure you do. It's not essential to go to an office. You should be shopping 'as infrequently as possible and using delivery services if you can'.

Try thinking about the spirit of the PM's speech and what we are collectively trying to achieve. Your grandparents went to war for their fellow citizens; all you are being asked to do is sit on the sofa.

If you had read the thread you would have noted my employer was told last Friday it would be 4 weeks before their was the capacity in the IT system for everyone to work at home so I might have to go into work and oddly I might just need to buy some food at some point whereas you no doubt are one of those who have stripped the supermarket shelves bear and have a year or more supply. As I have a food allergy there is no way I can use a delivery service as they are now automatically substituting out of stock items with what they have regardless of its ingredients and if I ate what they provided it would be another drain on the NHS.

Have you tried getting a delivery from a supermarket recently? It's impossible round here ( West London ). Ocado had 17,000 people queueing online to get a delivery slot this evening...…...and when you got to the front of the queue...…..you were told that there were no slots available.

Can’t you shop on way home from work maybe?

Agree with most of what you say .But a lot of people are unable to get delivery slots for three weeks

@Mo1959
4 confirmed cases in prison.
4 different prisons hoping this is not the start of something much bigger.

Really feel for my old colleagues. I heard the private prison Addiewell has already had a riot.

Hopefully it will soon just be supermarkets and chemists.

Why no better food shops? Supermarkets are only good at packets. Their "fresh" stuff isn't very.

Not a Boris fan by any means. But thought he did a pretty good speech just now.

He did? Shame they didn't televise that one instead!
