Can a cab or uber wait in a loading bay?  How long?

Im always looking for somewhere a Minicab or uber can pick me up on chiswick high road where they won’t get a pcn. I have tried the loading bay near High Road House but the cabs say they would get fined after 3 mins even on a weekend. But I thought they have 20 mins. Anybody know what the rules actually are?

Latex gloves. Do they provide any form of protection?

Without wishing to fan the "don't panic! don't panic!" scenario, after my Sainsbury's shop this morning, it occurred to me that would it not be a good idea for supermarkets to provide latex gloves for their till handlers who are constantly handling hundreds of grubby bank notes/coins/customers' hands from trolley handles/baskets etc etc? The Government is urging us to take precautions with washing hands vigorously. Surely staff with latex gloves would provide some extra protection, to both them and us?

Handy person

Can anyone recommend a handy man or woman? I have several small jobs such as repairing door handles, smoothing over uneven walls where cables were inserted, amongst other things. In the past I have not been impressed by the standard of people I’ve found online so a personal recommendation would be appreciated. Many thanks

Event for a family occasion

Does anyone have any suggestions for a venue for a party of about 40 people locally? Would prefer to self-cater although a bar would be handy. Ideally something with quite a late licence.

Coronavirus - Can You Catch It Twice?

If not, as one of the over 60s apparently to be denied treatment by the NHS if it becomes prevalent in the UK, is it perhaps best that I try to catch it now when I would no doubt receive exemplary care and first class treatment?Just a thought.

Not having a TV, one thing I have been missing is the F1. Does anyone know of any bars or similar that show the races, maybe the qualifying too?
