Was in the post office yesterday and there was a terrible panic when three blokes came in through the door wearing masks. Then one of them said "This is a robbery" and we all calmed down a bit.

I must have written at least a half dozen replies to comments on this thread, and then deleted them HV. This time I couldn't help it. To try and score some petty political points on the backs of the sick and dying, is as low an anyone can stoop, and I couldn't let it go. Every evening, as well as the horrific news reports, we get a facetime call from my daughter checking that we are ok. It breaks our hearts to see and hear the stress, danger and even abuse that her and her colleagues are subjected to every day, and they still keep smiling for the sake of their patients. We can't even give her a comforting hug because she insists on keeping her distance for fear of infecting us. I can't really put into words my thoughts on those that belittle the efforts of those who are trying to help us through this time, just to try and prove some pathetic point they obsess about in their sick and twisted, narrow little minds. Well I could put it into words, but it would probably, and rightly, result in my being banned from the forum. John.

Try again Dave & All. Was the same for us (3 weeks wait) But Yesterday slots appeared again with Morrison's!! Our shopping arrived this Teatime. May have put more drivers/pickers on???

Why would i read someone elses opinion ,going by the link itself how can bring the government to task for a person having a choice and finding it was the wrong one? Next people will be demanding we start paying illegal immigrants money because they smuggled themselves here and found it wasnt the bed of roses they imagined! Note the governments wording has changed to avoid paying those who chose not to pay the same rates as others Yesterday it said stay at home unless your a (words to the effect of) key worker IE NHS or carer etc It changed to say stay at home if you can or go to work! Hoping the self-employed work thus don't need government help I have no doubt any loose change the tories squirrelled away will be blown due to this virus and they will have to borrow more, less if they drop the minimum wage and tax threshold !you cant get money from workers if a great number dont put money in the pot !people will forget this ofcourse and complain ,labour ofcourse will blame the rich and insist they are taxed more (same old same old) forgetting they are the rich! Champagne socialists rarely look inwards they preach everyone should be equal but forget they themselves are far above the equality they give to the masses

Ant, My bad as well. I am now a product of being housbound for 5 days with the prospect of another couple weeks minimum. While I am indeed a "snowflake" under the proper circumstance I favoUr the death penalty. This virus thing is horrible Phone

Thanks Martin, will do. If not my daughter, then certainly one of the team. They are a great bunch, and I've had plenty of calls pleading for a lift when they've been stuck after a night out. Because many of them were only in there early twenties when they first moved to Leeds, we've always been there if needed, and are called 'adopted second parents' by some. My brother was diagnosed with prostate cancer about 6 or so years ago, and was treated there. Obviously my daughter wasn't allowed to treat him, but he said that the team told him that they had been warned to take special care, because they'd have to answer to Helen if they didn't , he couldn't praise them enough. It saddens, and sickens me to see and hear what they, and the rest of the NHS staff are having to endure at the moment, often with little, or no appreciation from some that they treat. A simple thank you, can so often make a difference. John.
