How will you feel when lockdown is eventually eased?

Personally, I'm within the %ages that will feel uncomfortable going out, sending my child to school and using public transport.

i think maybe if you want a slot you have o look at all supermarkets at all times of day we've had sainburys, tesco, ocado, morrisons and asda over this period (despite there being no morrisns or asdas within about 25 miles)

Although I'm over 70 I really can't be bothered to spend time online to try and get a delivery slot in 2-3 weeks time and then for the order to arrive minus its essential ingredients. I'd rather queue for 20 minutes at Waitrose once a week or do what I did yesterday - went to Lidl 9.30-ish, no queue, hardly any customers and fully-stocked shelves. Brilliant.

I got tesco delivery slot last week for next week, 11th I think.
Went to add couple things on to list, noticed nearly £30 of special offers that I had ,will have ended by delivery date :(
I’ll have to wait till nearer the delivery date to see what the specials they have and redo it then

Another reason for not bothering with online delivery slots!

I take it that you are not affected by lock down. But some of us who are have no option other than home deliveries.

Danny - of course I'm affected by lockdown as much as anybody and of course I'd prefer not to queue. However, the frustration shown by people who cant get a delivery slot is clearly immense. Unless someone is disabled or among the people who've had "that letter" and is extremely vulnerable and has been told to self-isolate for 12 weeks, it's much better/easier to actually do one's own shopping.
