vaneric1, I see many old male customers at my local 'Spoons' order two pints at a time. I guess they never know when they will reach a point when they cannot get up to get another two! They also don't have the App.

From Tom I collected a new VW Transporter Kombi van for work in February 2020 after ordering it in June/July 2019. VW were testing an all electric version back then but no confirmed details so I pushed forward with the diesel van. I saw yesterday that the all-electric van can now be ordered starting at 44k. It has a total range of about 80 miles. How can that possibly be considered progress? We can cover around 120 miles some days just doing local deliveries between 3 retail stores and moving a bit of stock around, the 80 mile range is useless and for 44k, it's daylight robbery too!

6 pints in an hour??? Wow.

I've had Sunday lunch with a friend in Weatherspoons regularly until the lockdown, there was a guy there who went to the bar and bought two pints, he put one on one table with a beer mat covering it then went and sat at another table to drink the other, said he didn't want to look like a boozer. He did that several times during the hour we were sitting watching and got through ten pints while we ate our lunch.

Hahaha well one never knows. Some of the people I've seen in Spoon's having a pint before midday leaves nothing to the imagination. Too old myself for a hair of the dog at breakfast time.. But once upon a time...:)

I'm too old to be shocked at anything Geck, not in the least sheltered. :-)

Next year, Tesco will celebrate 25 years as the top dog in UK retail. With size comes power. And with power comes opportunity. Moreover, Tesco hasn’t been shy about the contributions it has been making to food banks, through the Community Food Connection. It has leveraged its power, and channelled the generosity of its customers, to step up and help to mitigate governmental policy failure. As a result, plenty of us feel that Tesco is there for us, and for all of us. Providing the basics and helping us to find the balancing point between cost and quality.

That's like asking a vegan what his favourite meat is.

How's Lionel Blair?

this is ridiculous - is our government really going to let them trash the opposition using their inflated share price to finance it all, just as they did with the online market for CDs, DVDs etc. remember play.com, 101cd, bensonsworld et al? and remember how they all went bust trying to match amazon's free delivery model. are tptb really going to let UK grocers go the same way? and yet amazon pays no tax here...if that's not madness then tell me what is.

Amazon is planning a wider UK rollout of its online grocery service by the end of 2020 as it tries to take advantage of consumers’ needs during the pandemic. hTTps://www.sharecast.com/news/international-companies/amazon-plans-expansion-of-uk-delivery-service--7588819.html I wont be buying my groceries from Amazon tho....as I buy plenty from them already. Don't want to concentrate my spend to Bezos's benefit.

[geckotheglorious] 28/7/2020 10:14

Johnwise, Check the "delivery within flexible window" option....far cheaper.

[johnwise] 28/7/2020 09:08

In my area Tesco has increased the delivery price from £2.00 to £4.50 Amazon with free delivery,will cut the grocery price to the bone to takeover the market.
