At least there were a few veggies available. No spuds or sweet potatoes though, plenty of loose broccoli.

White wine is not a essential though.:D

Just made a batch of wheat beer 5 gallons, got mead,home made spirit/ sippin shine, wine[ bit rough but drinkable] and 4 bottles of shop bought port, and a kit to make 5 gallons of IPA. just need crisps and i'm good.

Just received an email from Kennedy Space Centre (I asked for a refund on 4 tickets and parking, due to them closing for an indefinite period from 16th March, and our tickets were for the 19th March - didn’t feel the need to point out we weren’t in the USA on this date...).

Thought CF-er’s might find this amusing.

Aye, they've gone further than even Corbyn wanted to, but I applaud them for doing the right thing.

Who the hell has a fax machine these days! I wonder if it's designed to put you off from claiming??

ISTR that there are/were sites online where you basically sent an email to a fax machine and it came out the other end as a fax. Maybe this would enable you to do it this way Hugh?

I understand it, but as China seem to have cracked this in 3no. Months, I would hope we see things getting back to normal by June.
