I have that exact coat and can tell you that it really isn't particularly warm. Even with three layers below it isn't good below about -5c and is particularly bad in the wind.

I live within 3 miles of a branch of all of the major supermarkets in the UK except Waitrose.

The only time I can possibly go shopping is after 7pm and even if I go in with a list of stuff and stick to it the round trip is 2 hours because of the checkout queues, car park queues and crowded shops.

I don't know if you have ever been to a supermarket after 7pm but good luck finding any fresh fruit and veg that hasn't been squashed to a pulp.

The only reliable shop near me is a particularly well stocked Morrisons Express but it's cheaper and easier to shop from Ocado.

This is the crux of the problem, developer profitability demands a shortage of housing and because developing in London (this article is Hackney) requires massive up front costs before they can sell their first units developers will happily wait until they are guaranteed a massive profit.

Make no mistake here: the developers definitely can make a profit in the current climate but that profit isn't enough to be worth them doing it so they will wait.

We really need some initiative from the government to allow councils to take over sites that are not being progressed and allow them to borrow the money to do it.

Councils can't make a 'profit' as such but every council development I've ever been involved in has made more money than it cost and all of these developments would be considered unviable by a developer.

Good work op!

I can confirm the ocado beans are very good but I suspect they are actually the same as m&s. I can't tell the difference.

This is true, I would say it is currently the most ethical smartphone you can buy today, though. If you get it with e.os installed it is also more privacy focussed as well but as a heads up e.os doesn't work with some banking apps.

Bonus points for saying "I really shouldn't" before taking two chocolate hob nobs

Dude, are you ok?
