yup my parents enjoyed one at the beginning of May - well the VE Day bank holiday weekend at least.
A local (next town along) were setting up picnic baskets of afternoon teas, sandwiches, cakes and the like. They enjoyed the treat

we have a local baker who can’t work at the moment from her shop.
She has started on a Sunday to do a Facebook live video showing how too Bake a new recipe every week. She is also selling cakes and cream teas and delivering them to people… some people were getting 2 delivered one to them and one to a relative in isolation so they can enjoy a virtual party together.
I just say, enjoy it!!!
It’s not hurting or endangering anyone!

Yeah we have a local baker who works from home, usually doing classes. Because he can’t do classes in the same way anymore he’s turned to selling bread on a large scale to the local area.
I can make bread or buy it cheaper from Tesco but we still buy from him to support a local business.

Plenty of local businesses are diversifying to a) keep engaged with their customers and b) keep some money rolling in.
My local pub are selling groceries and delivering pizzas. Making good use of the fact their suppliers will still deliver and that they have a really good kitchen.

Thats nothing theres a young lass in my office who ordered a Subway sandwich one day for delivery! The shop is about 200 metres from the office and it cost her £8.30!.
Eh. People could have reasons for not wanting to go out. And buying sandwiches instead of making them can get you some more variety without needing to buy lots of weird ingredients that’ll stick around forever.

If you buy a meal deal from boots or Tesco it’s certainly cheaper than making your own.
The legion of spelling errors on my Wing’s ‘most popular event titles’ word cloud.

No it’s not, but then I suppose it depends where and how you’d buy the makings. I just think that the meal deal / prepared ‘lunch’ pot meals is shops playing on people not bothering, because they think they’re too busy. For as many years as I can remember I make my own sarnies every day for work and as yet never been that bored with them, that I’d go through the ache of stopping at a supermarket on the way to work, which will take longer than making them at home. I do think the ‘meal deals’ show the real worth of the components when at stand along retail £2.50 sandwich, £1+ drink & 80p+ bag of crisps is £3. A couple of people in the office used to stop on the way to work get a lunch and coffee. they stopped made their own lunch and waited to get in for a brew and it was a bit like smokers stopping and finding they had money left over at the end of a month. One of them said they’d saved c.£22 a week, they said it cost them around £27 a week ‘buying in’ compared to £5 for doing it themselves, as they could use leftovers either as a lunch or cold meats in sandwiches/rolls or wraps. One of them regularly brings in left over pasta and leftover take away (inidian, chinese or pizza) which they ‘nuke’. Although the concept of left over take away eludes my wife only cooks enough for a meal (except the meat for Sunday) and we only buy enough of what we like when we have a take-away,.
Earlier today I was playing War Thunder and shot down somebody with ‘RAFAC’ as a suffix to their username.

It is unlikely there will be BoB (I’ve heard nothing fron RAFA) and November’s Remembrance parades could be awkward.
Slow reply, but those aren’t spelling/typo errors - they are kerning errors in the font, possibly because the slide was developed using some obscure font that isn’t present on the display PC.
Look in the top left - the o is overlapping the p, which leads to the same error in Sports bottom right. And capital I is overlapping most other capital letters, leading it to disappear against the N in TRAINING, ONLINE and LEADING, the R in FIRST and (more visibly) merging into the C in CLASSIFICATION.
