Mrs Weaver orders a lot of food and supplies on an auto-repeating order from Amazon if I have understood correctly, you don’t even have to do anything, it’s not one-click but just zero-click. If I have got this right that could be a good tip for those of us struggling with supermarkets’ pathetically inadequate home delivery systems.
Hopefully the supermarkets will get a kick up the backside and scale their home deliveries up fast. And hopefully this will be a permanent change too.
The government needs to reform its functions like in 1939, to war time roles. We need a minister of supply, minster of COVID-19, minister of food and especially a minister of bog roll
They also need to get volunteers doing deliveries and volunteers helping the supply chain. Get retired food and logistics workers to un-retired and come back.
Someone I know works for British Rail or whatever on earth it’s called nowadays. She has been reorganising goods trains to take longer trains so they can haul more stuff. It is I think in some way related to the current crisis, perhaps related to lack of lorry drivers. So they are wanting her to go in to work otherwise the uk transport system breaks down.
