DPD - Fantastic Delivery Service



I hadn't used DPD before now, but I have to say the company provides a fantastic delivery service.

 I needed a new printer and because Currys/PC World is closed because of these barmy lockdown rules (see post below) I decided to order the machine online.

 24 hours later my new printer arrived within the one hour deliver slot I was given on placing my order and I was kept informed every step of the way by DPD's easy-to-use App.

 I was even given the delivery driver's name (Craig) and invited to provide feedback on the service which I gave 10 out of 10, no less!

 Feedback is a great idea and ought to be much more widely used if you ask me. 


 



Questions for the First Minister/Prime Minister (11/05/20)



I doubt I will ever get the chance to ask the First Minister or Prime Minister a question about Coronavirus, but if I did here's what I would ask Nicola and Boris.

"Why is a store like B&Q allowed to open while Currys/PC World is forced to remain closed?" 



Now I visited our local B&Q last week to buy some paint, plants, compost and whatnot.



I have to say I felt perfectly safe, just as safe as I do on the regular visits to our local supermarket because everyone practiced social distancing, including the staff also wore visors.  

More FMQs/PMQs to follow in the days ahead - maybe I'll email them into Nicola and Boris to increase my chances of getting an answer.

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
