Hmmmm. I need to check I can still top up my simple O2 PAYG by the sounds of it. A £10 top up normally lasts me at least a year as I use it for incoming calls but as I'm now at home I don't have a desk phone for outgoing calls. Annoying.

A bottle of wine may need to be opened.

GWS Bri. let us know how your getting on.

Morrisons will be doing an 'essentials box' from this weekend - a standard package of staples to meet demand. These will be dispatched direct from the depots rather stores, so increased capacity. That might help too.

I have been all over the place to get a few essentials but no luck. The co op store say they have plenty of stock but not the transport capacity to move it. Surely they could drop non essential items like alcohol and use the space for items they do need.
