"I am not suddenly going to be any less vulnerable overnight," Absolutely, Pipp,. None of us is. I don't know what they are playing at. Maybe it's an excuse to stop sending the food boxes sooner?They can't cost much - a tenner each cost price perhaps, they are pretty poor quality. But they do mean you wouldn't starve if the supermarkets stopped sending deliveries. I never got any explanation in my letter as to why I am on the list, I don't think anyone does, I think they are standard letters. Mine was identical to the example shown online. One size fits all. If I were you I would go on the government site and try to register, as it might be this that gets you on the database. Once there, the supermarkets get your name and put you on their lists for priority deliveries.
