Just been to the crappy co-op. Toilet roll, pasta, paracetamol and rice all in stock but people are limited to the amount they can buy which is fine by me.

I do think the Co-op has hiked the prices up a lot though. That might be a consideration when buying there as they can't afford to buy too much at those prices.:eek:
To be fair it may be their suppliers that have hike prices up.
But OTOH Cif liquid cleaner £1.00 at the Spar......£3.10 at the Co-op.

Bit of a blow. We have a cleaner every Thursday. Does 2 hours and boy she works hard. She has a child aged 5 who woke yesterday with a fever and sweats.....she sent us a photo and the poor kid is dripping.
Upshot is she is self isolating them both for the forseeable.
She is a lovely girl and has become like a daughter.
She has gone online to buy Calpol and Paracetemol and messaged to ask if we wanted her to get us anything.
This crisis seems to be bringing out the worst and the best in humanity.

If I get one more email update on Coronavirus from a company that likes to sell me stuff I will SCREAM!!!!

I know you care about me, your customers are important, your staff are important, you want to help us through this. You've told me once, twice, thrice

And a special message for Le Col........I DON'T need kit specially designed for indoor training. I LIKE to sweat.

There, that's better

I extended my ride back today, took a very scenic route and ended up with 50 miles on. Not a nice ride back, it drizzled most of the way and I seemed to be into a head wind most of the way. Not a lot of cars in the lanes but plenty of walkers, horse riders and cyclists, Coventry traffic was a little quieter than normal but not a lot, what was making me a little twitchy was the number of drivers being nice to me, I'm not used to that, I waved a lot of drivers past because they'd come up behind me slow down to my speed and just sit there a dozen yards behind me, I'm not sure why.I also nearly fell off, :blush: I've got single sided SPD clip in pedals on the fixed, pulling away from the lights by Nailcote Hall I put my foot back on the pedal and put it on the flat side, where it promptly slipped off, I ended up laying across the handlebars whilst the bike did a little weave.:ohmy: but I managed to get it all sorted out and just carried on
