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?)

    • Latest news from the sunlit uplands, on the same day the UK economy 'unexpectedly' shrank 0.1%... As an aside, the cognitive dissonance shown by large parts of the UK electorate over Brexit is quite a thing to behold. I don't think it's controversial to say that Brexit is now considered by a large % of the population to have failed, with the % who see it as a success in single figures. Yet, initial polling for the upcoming Runcorn by-election shows Reform winning what is a relatively safe Labour seat. Now I get protest votes and all that, but Reform were literally the Brexit Party before the rebrand. If there's such a large consensus that Brexit failed, why would so many even consider voting for a party that actively helped deliver Brexit and all the known economic damage it would cause? And that's before you even get to the fantasy economics it presented at the last General Election. Labour haven't helped themselves either, by pursuing a nonsensical 'We can make Brexit work' approach, they have in effect made themselves impotent when it comes to attacking Reform and what they stand for...
    • Recommend Dosa n Chutney in Tooting and Rikshaw in Gypsy Hill for dosas.  The latter a few mins away by train from East Dulwich station.  Karnataka has great food but rather a long way to go plus all those carbon air miles.  Reminds me of some American students in London who would take it in turn to fly back to Chicago or somewhere like that to bring pizzas back.   https://dosanchutney.uk/ https://rikshawrestaurant.com/ My word, free reviews without having to sign up and pay for my food blog.  Crispy Dosa is the chain, not that local though.
    • Maybe they would just leave them turned. In a world gone suddenly mad, it makes many individuals feel better to think they have made some protest, however small, even if they know that it makes no difference at all in the great scheme of things. Surely that's better than just blind (sorry I can't think of a better word) acceptance  of  whatever dreadful things are going on, or turning a blind (sorry again) eye. History shows us where that has led in the past. And in the case of the Tesla sellers and non purchasers, it has actually significantly affected things, albeit not the political things which matter.
