The fish lady comes round here in a van. Used to be 'Tim the Fish' (like
Ivor the Engine) but now his daughter does it, who actually I quite fancy,
even if she does smell of fish! Mrs Fish Person is, I think, the correct
address in this day and age.

See the link in the post responding to Harry's. Though they probably don't
deliver to you...yet.

OOPS!! Can you see my red face?? LOL.

I have never thought of ordering online and suppose I would if I broke a
leg or some such. Ron does all the shopping anyway. He's getting pretty
good at it and enjoys getting out to talk to the "fish lady" and the
"veggie guy" and so on. Gawd........retirement is not so hot when the
highlight of your social week is talking to the "fish lady"!! (G)

Cheers........your backwoods cousin, lol.

How amazing!! You folks get your groceries delivered???? That is so
1950's to us.

No, this is 2000+ deliveries. The 1950 style deliveries had died out by
the late 50s early 60s. Year 2000+ deliveries are the result of
internet shopping with most of the big supermarkets having on-line sites
where most items that are in store can be ordered from the comfort of
one's armchair.

Happened a few summers ago and we were 4 days without the above.

The village where I was living in 1987 went fifteen days without
electricity after our pet hurricane which caused significant to many
areas in the south east of England. Roads were blocked in my area for
weeks although the road to the nearby town was very quickly cleared
unlike that to the next village which was impassable for a long time.

in minus 20C weather. We have piped in natural gas for the furnace,
so other than a major explosion somewhere, no problems for heat.

If the hydro (electricity) went down, we would have NO water, furnace
or lights. Happened a few summers ago and we were 4 days without the
above. I think not having hydro was worse than water.........at
least I could buy bottled stuff.

Oh, and can't use our fireplace because in 22 years we have never had
a chimney sweep clean it out and won't use it until we do. 3 doors
down had a fire in the walls caused by the creosote buildup and the
idiots didn't have any insurance. It is MANDATORY if one has a
mortgage, so not sure how they got around that one. As no one seems
to be working in that family, I can only assume they are on Social
Assistance (PC word for welfare).
I could go online and order groceries to be delivered, but somehow
just can't do it. I want to see what I am buying!!

Sunny, but cold here........Heather
