OMG, the "weak dilute"Coming out of lurkdom to say:
Sali’s latest Instagram post included a shot of her wearing sunglasses. I wonder if this will be the de facto for her selfies from now on as the “weak dilute” wears off and can’t be topped up during the COVID-19 crisis?!
It must be horrendous, Baroo.I work in mental health and there are so many very vulnerable people with significant mental health problems who are very isolated and struggling to get basic provisions. The voluntary services that may have supported them with shopping etc in many cases have had to withdraw. It’s a shit show.

At the risk of it being deep research - you are right and she used to, but I think she has her own flat elsewhere now.Lives in the granny flat in Sali’s house
Agree, something about Nadine Baggott's explanation, that BB was for people in hygiene poverty, but "more importantly" it's about helping those that work in the NHS came off a bit questionable, same with the "treat" aspect. Firstly, it's not just NHS workers who are on the frontline here, and secondly, this goes very much against the goals of BB when they should be using their resources to focus on the increasing demand for hygiene products by third sector service users. People may not be able to afford to donate or access donation points like before, and there could be an increase on demand on services. As others have said, it does seem a bit band wagon, and this is in no way criticism of the NHS.You are so right. It feels like any querying of BB is a criticism of the NHS, which is most certainly not my intention or I'm sure anyone else's. I just don't see the connection between 'treats' for the NHS staff (lovely as that is) and basics for people in dire poverty. The request on March 14th was for people in hygiene poverty (it did mention donations to NHS trusts in the long list). It seems mean and splitting hairs to query this - but most charities have very clear aims and objectives - as much as they would like to help everyone.

When the clap for carers happened I'm almost sure Sali replied to a tweet saying something about her own street being the sameAt the risk of it being deep research - you are right and she used to, but I think she has her own flat elsewhere now.
