Nightmare, Dave...

For me, with the current madness in supermarkets, this is the time to use small independents. This morning we received from our local dairy, along with our usual bottled fresh orange juice and milk, free-range eggs, Welsh butter, bread and some superb quality fresh fruit and veg, which they source from a local farm, so good in fact was the latter, that we intend getting it delivered regularly! I even got some nice bacon chops from them, which I'll be having for my tea tonight

Plus, we phoned our local butcher earlier and ordered some lamb and pork chops, fillet steak, steak pies and sausages, which we're just off to collect (thus avoiding waiting in queues), along with a fresh chicken - all achieved, stress-free, without going near a supermarket!

So, along with all the tins and dried food we've got in (plus toiletries), which is plentiful, we've got enough stuff in now to last us ages... In these mad times folks, the message is: support your local independents!

We have two good butchers and a baker but no greengrocer. We use these regularly and will carry on for as long as they are open. There is a Saturday and Tuesday market and I hope they keep going through all this. We can shop in the fresh air with the required distance between everyone.

hotel in highlands has sacked its staff and flung them onto the street at no notice.. Owned by Britannia Hotels apparently.... the unacceptable side of capitalism.

Charming way to behave. Bet it's an American owned business.

Local farm shop (own produce) has closed until further notice "on advice" - bloody shame, hope they are ok

Shocking and disgraceful treatment... They need lambasting on Tripadvisor, by as many as possible, and shown up for the scum they are, so that when they open again no-one will go!

Nice one. I hope they continue to keep going. Using them regularly will certainly help that cause.

We've all become preconditioned to using supermarkets [creatures of habit and convenience junkies], and that was the case even before this outbreak. It pays in many ways, not least of all now, to use our independents and local farm shops, and so I hope more people will shun the lunatic panic-buying and empty shelves of the supermarkets and support them, and make them thrive during this outbreak.

Anyway, we've just had a log and coal delivery, so our stores are fully stocked for this season, and ordered a load of cat food/biscuits and litter online, for our moggies, which will be delivered on Monday, so we're well sorted!
