Dr PhFleecyD Jul 2020 9:48am, 11 Jul 2020 50,407 posts	Quote Pin Dr PhFleecyD My milkman started delivering before 10pm since lockdown, which is an improvement on waking me up at 3am as he sometimes did before! Sometimes I get home after going out to find the milk on the doorstep, which is a bit weird but not a problem
swittle Jul 2020 11:32am, 11 Jul 2020 65,690 posts	Quote Pin swittle When I had milk delivered, I found some of it had gone off after 2-3 days in the fridge, and was thrown out. Delivery could be as early as 2am, more often 4-6am. Went back to 4-pinters from the local general store: get 5-7 days out of them.

ChrisHB Jul 2020 4:13pm, 15 Jul 2020 19,526 posts	Quote Pin ChrisHB Our MP: Crispin Blunt, the MP for Reigate, successfully lobbied Surrey county council to remove a cycle lane on Reigate High Street three days into a planned three-week trial period. In a blogpost, he said the road was “already a regular bottleneck” and the scheme was “a rotten way to burden [businesses] as they just reopen after lockdown”. [that explains why there was no evidence of a cycle lane a couple of days after it was meant to have been installed]
