Buddug, yes its come to this. I work for a London council and we've been giving out food vouchers for about 1 year now. We offer them to people who have a crisis and I can assure you their are lots of them and they come from all walks of life. Some people are too proud to accept them but a lot have kids to feed and accept gladly. I will definitely get involved with my local food bank as its such a worthwhile cause.
When I was first in UK, I do not know which restaurant served best. I always search in Google for a long time. I also receive advice from my fellow. Then they suggest me to use Restaau software .Restaau.co.uk is a smart search engine of restaurants for most of cities in UK in which you can make sure you've got the latest information for nearly 90,000 restaurants across most of cities in UK. When you need a help to find a restaurant, try it! very quick. I am sastified when using it

Take a look at this. I plan to start doing just that. If the supermarkets got on board and created collection points that would make it even easier.


What can you do to help? Buy someone #22mealsforacoffee (That?s 22 meals for the price of a ?3 coffee?)

    • We like Radha Krishna Bavan, a South Indian restaurant near Tooting Broadway station, but sadly they don't deliver. They have really good lunch deals and the food has been excellent without fail so far, plus too much to eat (doggy bags willingly provided by the lovely staff!) Probably wouldn't make a special journey to go there, but go there quite often for lunch when visiting my niece, who lives in Tooting. Can't remember if they do dosas, though 
    • Yep,  the EU would definitely want cast-iron certainties that there was no chance of Brexit 2.0 before allowing the UK to rejoin. Best we can hope for in the short to medium term  is the UK rejoins the single market. That would at least make Brexit work *better* than it currently does.  But we live in a very volatile world and a lot can happen quickly, who'd thought we be rationally talking about the possibility of  a European Army outside the context of Brexit and its associated hysterics...
    • What I couldn't understand was on the day H&B  opened (or at least the Saturday after it) they had two people standing outside with trays of something round their necks, as if they were selling ice cream at the interval in a 1950s cinema. These things appeared to be free samples of something (can't remember what. Magnesium tablets? From the labels on the little jars?)  There was nothing to say they were free, nothing to say what they might be useful for, and no apparent attempt to engage passers by, or even to hand them out to passers by.  What was the point?! It had the opposite effect on me, as they looked so bored and fed up  We did have a wander round the shop, but the only thing they had which I might have bought ( a particular kind of milled seed which Health Matters don't stock)   I can get cheaper in Waitrose !!! ETA: I only buy their nuts when they are on offer (and freeze them) 🤣
    • If you are referring to me you don't have to pay to read my reviews and I'm not even sure if you have to sign up. If that feels too sinister you can just click on the links as far as I know, but the difference is if you sign up you receive the - free - reviews by email whenever they appear. Quite a useful - free - service I think. I'm not going to spam the EDF every time I run a review, but here's a link to the site as I've run a few new reviews in the last few weeks. https://eatsdulwich.substack.com/
