    Just sent an E mail to Morrisons via their contact form.
    Got an automatic reply back saying they are far too busy feeding the nation and will not reply to any e mails.

    Which bears out my thoughts.
    All the bottom end workers have been doing their bit and working their socks off for the last 5 months.
    But ask the office staff to come in and carry on, no way, its far too dangerous.

        Prior to this Covd thing. I picked up a medical product from the general display. I couldn't believe the price tag. About twelve paces from the display is the instore pharmacy, not Sainsbury's. Here the same item was more than less half the price. I later called in at Boots and got it even less.
        Emailing Sainsbury's, I got a quick reply. To be honest. I am in noway racist or whatever, but the reply was so hard to understand. Perhaps. R2D2 was malfunctioning. The mind boggles.

          @Mike Allen I'm surprised you actually got that. On their website they say that they no longer use email as a form of communication. You are supposed to use their Q&A section or their online contact forms. I tried their old listed email and received the same message saying they no longer monitor their email addresses.

          If you do want to email them and get a response this is the email address of their C.E.O. :whistle:

          [email protected]

          @pete This is the email address for the C.E.O. of Morrisons

                I caught a snippet in todays news. A doctor, I think it said, has written a book and resigned over the Dominic Cummings business.
                It is a bit of a pain in as much as DC swans about as though he was something special. Am I right? he's not even an elected member of parliament. Perhaps come the next election. The Dominic business could become Boris's downfall.

                  Dominic Cummings actions, excuses and arrogance infuriated this country. I did hear that some legal expert was trying to bring a case for his prosecution. I can't find any information on this now though?

                      I am not an anti-vaxxer by any stretch, but does it not concern you just a tad about the speed of finding/creating a vaccine? Usually, they are tested to the nth degree, but this time it is a case of lob it out and do the drugs trials out in the field. The companies producing it have also been given global indemnity from being sued if anything goes wrong. That worries me - a lot.

                        The legal expert was Joylon Maugham, also known as fox killer. He has been involved in a few of these sort of cases and has a record of failure.

                          I see where you are coming from, but there needs to be a bit of careful thought around this - I will tell anyone that will listen that they should get a flu vaccine and indeed, if it was up to me, everyone would get the vaccine - - but, there are many folks who simply refuse to do so for various reasons, one of which is that they experience symptoms only once they have been vaccinated, and not necessarily symptoms of flu (flu also being a coronavirus).

                          We need to acknowledge that no vaccine is 100% effective (I believe the flu vaccine sits around 18% depending on the year) especially with a mutating strain of a virus, as well as acknowledging that we cannot force people to be medicated against their will - and that situation is already happening (or attempts being made in that direction) around the world. To enforce vaccination is heading right into the realms of a fascist state.

                              To be honest he didn't infuriate me,I couldn't give a flying fig what DC got up to I'm more concerned about doing the right thing for all those around me/us,yes he threw caution to the wind but so have and many are still doing the very same thing.Just because he's got 'sommat to do with government ' makes no odds to me.It's about time folk of this country took charge of their own actions instead of trying to blame all and sundry.

                                To be fair, it will be a bit more than that - it will also be the incompetence of those around him (Patel, Hancock etc are not exactly shining lights in my opinion). Far to much energy is going into pandering to various trends and doing what is seen to make them look good (from all politicians) and not enough is being done in terms of nitty-gritty stuff that will actually work.
