However, we have found lots of local suppliers are now delivering now, I'd imagine this is the same up and down the country.
Ask on social media for help, again lots of things have sprung up offering help to those that are struggling.
45 minutes isn't that far, 3 miles. We are fully expecting that we may have to walk to our nearest farm shop to get supplies at some point, that's around 3 miles but having to go across the fields takes about an hour. Buy what you need and put it in a rucksack rather than carrier bags and it'll be much easier.
There are other options available to you without the government changing policy on MOT's or you breaking the law.1 -
nickwalker said:I would use The Spammy Spammers (www.thespammyspammers.co.uk). I used them recently and they was fantastic. They collected my vehicle and dropped it back to me all at no extra cost. The prices was really good value for money and i got a full report advising what work should be done now and what can wait till later. They are also offering 10% off for first time customers with code 'OURSPAMWORKS'. Great spam which is easy to come across these days as well!
What was that other one that used to get lots of threads saying how bad they were? I wonder if this bunch of spammers is just a rebrand...?0 -
