They could well have an more comfortable life in there than they ever had before!

Quote from: Scrumpy on Today at 09:07:52 AMIt seems to be the popular thing to do now..
Wherever there is a gathering.. event ..or celebration there is the probability of some nutter driving into the crowd.. Usually because it is something their  beliefs.. religion does not agree with..
  The latest being Berlin Pride..

I heard part of this on the news today, Scrumps,  and I agree with you, it does seem a popular way of killing now.
I suppose its an easy way to harm a large number of people all in one go,  and then drive off.
Frightening stuff ey.

Quote from: Alex on Today at 04:05:15 PMI'm dreading another heatwave, I've just checked the forecast for here and it seems to be 28 degrees, so not as bad as last time, or the time before !

You're lucky then, Alex.   
They are forecasting over 30 degs again here.

He should have stopped boozing and gone off to bed

Like others,  I started having deliveries during lockdown too.

I did try Tesco for a short while, but didn't get on with them.  When I cancelled,  they still kept taking a delivery charge for weeks and weeks,  even though I wasn't ordering,  and I had a helluva job making them cancel it.
After many phone calls and arguments,  I contacted my bank,  and Tesco eventually stopped taking the money and sent me a voucher to spend as an apology.

I have used Ocado for ages now, and find them very good and helpful, both on the phone,  and the delivery drivers too. 
Two of the things I like about Ocado are,  they bring my stuff bagged up in carrier bags  (unlike most others),  and  I can also get M&S  food delivered through them as well.
If you save the carrier bags,  you can hand them back for recycling  the next week.  The driver takes them back and you get paid 10p  per bag knocked off  your bill.   

I still nip out for odds and ends,  but its handy having the bulk and heavier stuff delivered now. 
My little treat to me.

Quote from: muddy on Today at 02:52:28 PMI don't .
I go to the supermarkets
But I am beginning to think delivery might be good.
Save us  buying things we don't need .

I began having home deliveries when we were 'locked down' during the covid epidemic, and found it very convenient, especially for heavy things - cat food/litter, cleaning products, tinned stuff etc.,  I stock up once per month, and book an early morning delivery - 6:00am in summer, 7:30am in winter.  Sainsbury's are very reliable, their delivery staff are helpful, and their produce good quality.  I bulk buy fresh fruit/veg to blanch, freeze, and make my own 'ready' meals - I love to cook.

The only things I never buy from supermarkets are meat, poultry, fish, and cheese.

Yes I sometimes get home deliveries..
I use Tesco or Ocado... I do prefer to shop though.. I like to check dates and freshness...
 I quite like going to the shop.. I just enjoy seeing and talking to people .. and watching..

Quote from: Ashy on Today at 09:24:18 AMWe really need the death penalty to be restored. It may not be a significant deterrent but by Jove it stops them re-offending and saves the taxpayer a fortune that would be better spent on decent people.

The death penalty does benefit us in the ways you have said, but I suspect that it really would be a deterrent.  I believe this because as soon as hanging was stopped, the number of murders decreased per head of population.  Yes, more recently, murders (at least those reported) appear to have decreased according to the published figures, but I am sure that they would decrease further if hanging was resumed.
In my view, if one has taken another's life, then they deserve to lose theirs in return.
