For the latest timetables best to ‘Google’© Stagecoach Peterborough and look for service numbers 31 and 33

We Are All In This Together – Tesco Ramsey

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Today’s good deed was to do shopping for two of our elderly neighbours, Jon B who is 98 his wife 95 and Colin G who is 89. Thinking Tesco Ramsey would be easiest as they are fussing clients! – At 09:30 there was a que of around 20 waiting in the correct way and the Police presence helped, but they cleared off after 5 minutes.
Once inside the store was a different situation, the isles are well marked and there is a one way system – Sorry Ramsey people can not comprehend this simple task, they were going the wrong way, herding too close together and some picking up fresh fruit & veg and then putting it back again…..I dare say it is not unique to Ramsey.
Anyway job done, that’s us in isolation now until next week’s good deed.
Our NHW volunteers will be delivering precriptions tomorrow.

Something A Bit Different – My Shipmates RIP

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Today April 9th is the 50th anniversary of the stranding of the steamship ‘London Valour’
in Genoa Italy 1970

I represent the shipping company on many areas, created a website that has run for nearly 20 years and am the official historian of the company.

I organised the anniversary commemorations in Genoa 2010 when a group of 12 of us attended a very emotional day, with the British Ambassator + Consulate General joining us.
Unfortunately with the Corona Virus being what it is, we are unable to attend this 50th anniversary.
However I have been sent a very poignant photo of a deserted ‘Genoa’ with the Red Ensign  (Red Duster) flying in the Marina Square.
The church bells all over Genoa rang in unison at mid-day.

(Note I was not on this ship when is ran aground – but sailed with some of the survivors,
I have been unfortunate to experience a similar incident in 1987 Quebec/St Lawrence River – I survived some did not – RG)

A Small bit of Good News – To an extent!

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin

Whilst I was out delivering prescriptions yesterday on my mobility truck, I took my air quaility meter – and measured various gases and pullutants.
Pollutant levels along the A605 from New Queens Street Surgery to the Recreation Ground on Peterborough Road – were virtually zero….
No sulphur or sulpur dioxide.
One of the reasons maybe that our Brick Works have shut down the kilns and out of interest the last time this happened was 1969

No I Did Not Go To Tesco Hampton This Morning

Posted on April 9, 2020 by Roy Gerstner Admin

My correspondent who lives in Yaxley informs me, that the ‘Que’ this morning at Tesco Hampton went for several hundred metres, and it took him around 40 minutes before he got into the store (08:30 this morning).
So probably not a good time to go.

Why not shop locally we have everything here…I hope.
