In Bristol and WSM food delivery vans have been found burnt out. If this is true information wouldn't it be good if we could create a germ just to exterminate these so called people? Is this what you are referring to ?
"" Two Iceland supermarket vans have been destroyed in arson attacks – hours after Prime Minister Boris Johnson told people to stay at home.
The delivery vans were destroyed in the attack outside an Iceland store in Arnside Road, Southmead, Bristol, on Monday night.
Richard Walker, managing director of the retailer, said: “At a time when home delivery is literally a lifeline for some vulnerable people, this is sickening.”
In a statement, Iceland said the disturbances began at around 9.30pm.
“ It is shocking and distressing that anyone would act so callously to put vehicles out of service at precisely the time when they are most needed to deliver food to the most vulnerable ”
Iceland statement
“Police riot vans were called out and youths threw missiles at the police as they tried to disperse them,” the retailer said.
“Later in the evening the two home delivery vans parked outside our Southmead store were set alight and the fire brigade attended to put out the fire.
“The vans will both have to be written off. We believe this to be an act of mindless vandalism rather than a targeted attack on Iceland.”
It added: “While we can and will bring in replacement vans to maintain our home delivery service in Southmead, our entire van fleet is running at absolutely full capacity at the moment, and it is shocking and distressing that anyone would act so callously to put vehicles out of service at precisely the time when they are most needed to deliver food to the most vulnerable people in our society.”
Avon and Somerset Police were also investigating other incidents that took place in Henbury and Southmead, including criminal damage and a car being set on fire.
The force said several incidents took place between 10pm on Monday and 12.30am on Tuesday, including:
– Someone having a brick through their window in Tranmere Avenue.
– Cars being smashed up in Ullswater Road and Strathearn Drive.
– A car set on fire in Charlton Lane so close to a house that the family had to evacuate to the back garden until it was made safe.
“ It is beyond belief that anyone would be so reckless and thoughtless ”
Chief Inspector Mark Runacres
Patrolling officers came across the Iceland van fire and called it in while officers were flagged down by a member of the public over the car damage in Strathearn Drive.
Chief Inspector Mark Runacres said: “Just hours after the Prime Minister announced that everyone in the country should stay home to save lives, it is beyond belief that anyone would be so reckless and thoughtless.
“Officers were already patrolling the area following recent instances of anti-social behaviour and we’ll continue to do so.
“We put an order in place last night to give officers extra powers to disperse groups and will continue to use our existing powers to tackle this problem.
“We are working with our communities and partners to identify and take appropriate action against those responsible. If you have any information which could help, get in touch.
“We believe that a group of teenagers were involved in these disturbances. I have one message for them, their parents and carers. Stay at home. Save lives.” ""
should all be arrested and battered then made to look after those in itc due to the virus and when they catch it be padlocked to a lampost until they eiter die or get better if they survive that, should be beaten about the kidneys daily with a rubber cosh whilst being hung so the have to be on tiptoes, whilst the public whip them with rose branches chanting dance you lady gardens dance ,and if anyone says its over the top line em up for a neck shot. Ps this was the least savage punishment i could think of others invole those fish that get into peoples bladders, These idiots surely realise that stopping deliveries and ambulances that the illness is going to spread more rapidly, im so angry my nipple is watering purple blood

Just been texting a Mate, he's had the letter. Won't be allowed out until 16th June. He'll go nuts. Not had one yet. No sign of a postman in my road today. Hope mine is lost in the post. Our postie is out n about but running late, she rammed stuff through the door as i was opening it, she had a fit shouting dont open the door(which is fair enough . the teason i opened the door was to tell her she broke the fecking insulation thingummy off the letterbox, all she had to do was dump the mail on the step and say mails on the step and go but oh no broke me letterbox instead.

Will there be a fresh wave of panic buying after this latest announcement? It's interesting that when everyone was moaning about Tesco, ASDA, Sains, Morrisons etc all being out of food and empty shelves everywhere nobody seemed to think of M&S or Lidl. They are not the places I usually shop in but they were very well stocked when other supermarkets had been stripped bare. the small shop down the road was well stocked ,people seem to have forgot that shop in the rush .

I work at Aldi, people are morons. At first we limited stuff to 4 per customer, I personally put up over 60 signs in our small shop and customers still chose to ignore them. They would get angry when the additional items were confiscated and then angry at me when I came down to the tills to explain. They would ask staff on the shop floor about the limits, then choose to ignore the signs and the staff and try their luck at the tills anyway! In return creating more work when we're already rushed off our feet. We've limited toilet rolls to 1 per household, 2 of other stuff etc yet people are still being selfish and wanting more. We've caught people doing a shop, loading it into their car and coming back in to do another - and kicked them out. We've caught couples splitting up to go onto different tills to try and trick the system - and restricted them to just one of them being served. The people who are coming in and respecting the limits and rules in place are those who need it most! Had an NHS nurse come in after a long shift and she had seen the signs and everything was fine except she picked up one extra pack of pasta(was a mixed case so easy mistake), I let her have it because she needs it. People are queuing at 6:30 and we dont even open until 8. We were talking about removing the trolleys but unfortunately you do have people, such as emergency workers, the elderly etc who do not get as much time to shop, can't always make the hours that stores are open specifically for them and who need more than a basket to shop. People just need to step back, food will be on the shelf. Our stock levels are ridiculous we are ordering 3x as much every day people just need to calm down, take a step back and not panic. That's crazy man.... To be honest, we've got tins of soup and spaghetti hoops, beans, tomatoes in our cupboards that have been there for months, veg, fish, chips etc in the freezer that all needs using up.... What an opportunity to do so.... So thats where all the curly chips went

Pp i have difficulty leaving my home due to mental issues so haven't been out to the shops, Wend hasn't been able to go either as and i'm going to be honest i also self harm when things get too much. I've been ok for the last day or so ,it allowed wendy to go to tescos and get a bloomer as it the only bread i will eat, as she went late on yesterday she got a loaf at 28p , she managed to get some other food and said it isn't too bad there , she went again today and said it was better than yesterday with fewer people ,Tesco even gave em a bunch of flowers free. Some have no choice to go to the shops as online deliveries are a long wait, for some who live week to week and dont have much in the bank it's very easy to forget that the money only gets taken on the day its delivered, A lot of people forget this and end up short. Not having a pop just giving a reason why a few (not all) people still go to the shops although those who are still panic buying without good reason should be thrown in the avon at hanham and stoned as they go over the weir in st annes I get it. got 2 kids to feed and nappies etc. We all need to shop, just the absurdity of people fighting over bog roll and the like. We have been told there is enough if people just shop as normal.
I don't think you will ever stop those greedy idiots(i was polite there), the shops look like we are having an extended xmas holiday with trolleys overflowing. It's not too difficult imagining some of these bellers demanding a refund on bog roll and other stuff they don't use when this is over. Try not to too stressed over nappies as there are alternatives, again have a wry smile as you know how quickly babbers grow, hopefully anyone who has stock piled nappies kids will out grow them in a few days. Not sure how old yer babbers try to get a few bottles of cows milk and stick em in the freezer , if you run out of talc for yer kids i have a bottle of medicated talc with your name on it you just need to pick it up, i also have a couple of spare bars of soap if you cant get none(adult soap) Thats about all the help i can give at present.

I had to go for a walk on Sunday to clear my head. Kids and wife were stressing me out. I don't want to lose that freedom because others have abused the freedom we do have. Makes me sick to think how ignorant and/or naïve some of these people are. All the people queueing up to ransack the supermarket. What can they possibly still need Pp i have difficulty leaving my home due to mental issues so haven't been out to the shops, Wend hasn't been able to go either as and i'm going to be honest i also self harm when things get too much.

Eric, I`ve run long distance all my adult life, ( eight miles this morning, in the lovely sunshine ) and I`m hopelessly addicted to it myself, but if giving up for 3 or 4 or 5 months helps keep me ( and others ) alive, that`s what I`ll reluctantly do. How many years have you been following the Gas? Surely a few months away from pounding the pavements, is a doddle compared to that? When all this is over, I reckon we should all meet up in the Wellington. Hell, I`ll even buy Oldie a glass of crème de menthe. UTG. William. I’ve quite enjoyed this little break from Rovers after supporting them since the early 80’s and following them regularly from the 90’s. Breaking away from that and other group activities has been fairly easy. The prospect of months on end of not seeing another human being, not getting to see my family in Dorset for months and being prevented from keeping fit and active in the fresh air (with social distancing of course) is just too grim a prospect. I like the sound of a beer in the Welly but that seems a million years away at the moment. Eric i know its not the same but maybe skype your family, i know it's going to be difficult for many over the next few months, i know this will sound odd but to keep fit try running up stair and walk back down for 1/2 hour or so every day, try n find something to do to keep you busy if possible, and if you feel your mental state getting worse ,fer feck sake ring someone or pm someone as it does help

The company I work for has received a complaint this morning. We provide Critical Illness cover - this provides a lump sum if you are diagnosed with one of the medical conditions covered by the Policy, most commonly selected illnesses to be covered are cancer, heart attack, stroke, MS, MND etc.... The husband of a policyholder has complained that CV is not one of the illnesses listed for cover under the Policy - that in itself is annoying enough. He then went onto say that if we do not pay out now that his wife apparently has the virus he will go to the media. I think it’s the company that should be threatening to name and shame him in the media not the other way around! Amazing how people latch on to these types of catastrophic events and see it as an earning opportunity - bit like the scumbags who claimed to live in Grenfell to get put up in a plush hotel and get a lump sum compensation payment. Cheers for that eric that cracked i up, The shear number of Fuckwits who appear during these times, i would have told her to try claiming for cjd, as i sounds like they have it lmao

Well, that`s not so bad. I was starting to get worried. Forgive me my perspective from the sharp edge. If you follow advice you should be able to live comfortably without getting it and do ok even if you do. But you must follow advice and if you can afford to, go further still to protect yourself. Nah tis not forgiveness you need but major thanks for your honesty and openness in these times. Was chatting to mother earlier she said her neighbours have offered to help out with shopping etc, but and here's the big but she has to go out tomorrow to go to the bank to get cash, to be fair to her she's been isolating her and her hubby for the past few weeks but needs to go out, the question is how many at risk people are having to do the same . This bit kinda goes hand in hand with another of your posts, i read somewhere that allegedly chlamydia is running rampant now people are staying home(forgive me for laughing at that gallows humour) . Which led me saying to Wendy i would love to nip down town at closing time just to see how many people are ignoring everything and behaving how the would on a weekend anyway. I also believe the reason people are so complacent down here is because infection rates in bristol are low ,i can imagine some saying only 13 confirmed cases i'll be ok not realising this is the calm before the storm. Carry on giving updates and advise as long as you can , to you and the other nhs staff offering advice in these threads all i can say is cheers

Thanks Geoff for your reply. This is exactly where the confusion is. I read it as everyone over 70 with symptoms or not and those under 70 with symptoms or are vulnerable should self isolate. It really isn't a clear directive. Once people who self isolate meet one person who hasn't then it increases the spread of the disease lessening the affect of self isolation. Also what about a household with a mix of the above? I have friends where the wife (under 70) works her husband (no symptoms)has COPD he is the carer for her mother (no symptoms) who is 90 and has dementia. In theory she could pass the virus to them by continuing to go out to work. As an indicator Al I have volunteers working for me in the mid to late 60's with partners with health issues. To a person they have restricted public interaction to reduce the risk of bringing this bastard home. To the thread. I live in the Forest of Dean area. If anyone is stuck and needs shopping delivered in this area, pm me. Les There a good fresh food supply over your way ,plenty of sheep in the forest (i assume the little gits still randomly jump out in front of cars for fun) In situations like these' m proud to be a Gashead ,strangers helping strangers in times of need
