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..

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.

It's an almost regular thing in Germany, I was at the Breitscheidplatz Christmas market a week before an immigrant drove through and killed many people.   There are bollards at most places now, it may stop vehicles but it won't stop the islamist killers. 

I'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 !

Congratulations GM, no doubt the next 12 months will fly by, better start choosing a frame x

We have used Sainsbury's deliveries since lockdown, they've been very reliable, and have some great offers via Nectar card.  I still shop for fresh stuff, but get all the heavy, boring stuff delivered. 

Used to do Asda but they let us down so when we moved we changed to Sainsbury who are quite good, and of course no impulse buying.
