If they are going to collect your own furnature, get them to deliver the new stuff first.
We ordered 3 seat + 1 seat with Sofology in July. We were not too bothered about the long lead time (global supply chain and all that).
We got the call 2 weeks ago to pay the balance and arrange old furnature collection and new furnature delivery.
So we paid the balance (£3k total order cost), the old sofa was collected and I waited in all day for the new sofa...
WHICH NEVER TURNED UP.
We've called them every day since the scheduled delivery last Tuesday and after 2 to 4 hours on hold they proimise to sort it but nothing happens. No calls returned. No revised delivery date.
From the investigation I have done, it appears that the warehouse & delivery is in disarray (possibly including workers committing fraud by removing barcodes and pretending to do the deliveries). Our delivery is most likely in the warehouse with its barcode removed and unable to be found in the massive warehouse.
From the comments on trustpilot, and social media, this problem appears to be widespread.
This is my personal experience as a customer. I am not and have never been an investor in this share.
I would say events, some workplaces and schools.
Not overseas travel though, unless traceability/acceptability is deemed to be accepable compared to PCR.
Young people will not have been vaccinated for events happening this summer, so I see it being a condition of entry/ticket purchase. They may get vaccinated eventually if they get fed up of sticking things up their nose / paying for tests or want to go abroad.
I know seveal people who work in places where the management cannot risk a closure due to covid outbreak having to do 2 tests/week.
My kid was dilligently testing twice/week but has got bored with it now, as there are no cases
Ditto my teacher wife, althought they seem to have had a few year groups with the odd case.
Is the Innova contract ending? How many more tests do DHSC have in stock before they need more.
The number of tests per day has levelled off at about 1 million/day. Kids were heavily leaned on to do them to get back to school. You would have thought the numbers would have increased when accessibility was increased to everyone, but most people aren't interested.
I've done 2 this year. We're visiting 70+ parents next week, so might all do one before we set off. But we've all had jabs (they've had 2), so can't really see the risk.
My mother in law (aged 70+, 2 jabs) got an antibody test in the post as part of post-jab monitoring. I only found out after she had binned the package, so she couldn't tell me if it was the ABC-19 one. Interesting though, as it was out of the blue.
This share never seems to fail to disappoint. Big ramp up and an incipid retreat while the government dithers about,
The day traders will probably sell in the next 15 mins
I've taken the view that there will be nervousness leading up to the vote (like there was after the court hearing). I could be wrong but having missed previous chances to sell at 19p, I didn't miss my chance this time and took some profit. GLA. I'll be back
You get the tests at a walk in testing centre. Han**** wanted parents of schoolchildren to self-test, so I picked up 2 packs of 7 (from Wythenshawe). My child gets them from school (as a 3-pack) and my wife's a teacher and she also gets them from school (a 7-pack). Unless you actually follow the HoC, you would have proably missed Han**** requesting parents do self-testing.
All of the tests are the same Chinese ones.
I was talking to someone who was involved with the school testing at her school and she said they did 4500 tests in 8 days. I asked how many positives... One.
My wife's school and child's school (different secondary schools in south Manchester) and neither had a single positive result.
I only got the tests to give them spares and in case we wanted to visit our parents who are in their 70's (i.e. inside... Shock horror), just to give them some additional comfort in addition to their first vaccination. We've not been yet, so I've not used a test (my wife and daughter are doing 2 per week as they are attending school). I'm WfH, so don't really see anyone. So I see little point in taking a test.
If the government does roll out the "freedom pass" (or whatever they'll dress it up as) and I get a tangable benefit out of it (like no mask/distancing) then I'd do the tests. But there's no benefit to me; only the risk of a downside of a false positive, so I don't.

On Marr yesterday, the opening news headlines mentioned all family members of primary, secondary and college students being test twice per week. That's about 5 million student's parents x 2 tests per week, in addition to the students themselves. Crazy numbers of tests if they actually follow through with this.
I topped up ;)
Does that acually stop them using your shares?
Is there anything in particular causing the rise today?
Sorry Shuggy, I picked up another chunk. Now holding 245,865
Oh not again. Probably announcing Lancashire going to Tier 3 and maybe Manchester, in spite of objections from local leaders.
If anyone's going to get control of this, it's going to need PoC testing, particularly in schools, which seem to be driving the numbers. The current set-up is a disaster.
Cheers for your call back then... I got in just after I'd seen your post and did some research.
Our goverment are great :-(
If you've already stated your voting preferneces to the nominee then what happens if you buy more shares this week? Is the vote count as per yesterday or voting day (or something else)?
The problem is that you're only eligable if you work in a care home. Given the (supposedly) grave situation in the UK with "second lockdown within 2 weeks", you'd think that LF antibody tests and antigen tests would be mass-distributed.
But the UK government isn't doing this. So is the government actually going to order the available capacity, and if not then who will buy them? Will UK residents be able to buy them retail and if so, will the result be held by NHS T&T and if so, what credit will be given to the immune individual.
There are so many unanswered questions, which are all in the government's court. ODX may be in the frustrating position of having an approved test but blocked from selling it.
Someone's bored and curious
