"bring me soup mfers" (thread of urgent coronavirus quarantine requests shd need arise: london local)

bless eater tbh, shitposting angels of mercy

Crossposting from one of the other covid threads:

For any ilxors in or around Peckham/Camberwell, a local company (Smith & Brock) who usually supply restaurant fruit and veg are doing home deliveries now with about a week's lead time and are really good, and not nearly as expensive as Natoora:

Also Monty's deli are delivering salt beef/pastrami etc. every Tuesday.

And I just found out Beigel Bake on Brick Lane have their own app now and will deliver basically anywhere in London, though they aren't currently operating 24/7 which seems reasonable.

re-upping this for ppl who have questions or ideas abt non-supermarket delivery and how to find out abt it

some ideas follow tim's post on this thread: rona moved in: ilx0rs with the bug report on their progress

I just tried knock knock but I’m outta their zone

ok i dug up some possibilities (i have tried none of these but various friends suggested them):

Crosstown
Dishpatch
HG Walter
Jaguar shoes
Natoora
Pale green dot

If none of those come up trumps it’s probably worth a trawl through this list - loads of different NCG suppliers covering loads of different postcodes each.

supermarket slot metasearch here:

i don’t know how *actually* useful it is, as i just searched and for every supermarket it said “sorry no slots currently available” but i guess it might be worth checking you save time?

my NHS covid app beeped this at me "POSSIBLE COVID EXPOSURE. Verifying exposure info. The app has accessed the date, duration and signal strength of the exposure" -- but when i open the app i can't find any details of what it's talking about. (I haven't left the house since yesterday and no one's been here.)

seems like something JOHN LANCHESTER shd write a bad sort story abt

it's this apparently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-54389083

(tho my alert is still there in my alerts, so it didn't vanish)

(sorry this is probably the wrong thread, i don't need soup)

go to your phone settings, then Exposure Notifications.. maybe something there? there's a link to 'View Exposures in App'

no, nothing there except my various preferences settings (all clicked to YES SEND ME EVERYTHING lol)

My phone’s too old for the app and I confess I’m a bit relieved.

this happened to me as well. got a notification which i saw at two in the morning when i couldn't sleep, clicked on it, notification vanished, and took me into the app where there was no notification. presumably some bit of metadata in the background triggered the notification but doesn't surface anything in the UI.
