That was us :) I covered 136 miles yesterday and delivered 42 hot meals to the elderly, It makes you feel hungry tho driving round with the smell of hot food coming from the boot :drool:

I was out helping today. About 73 miles and 34 meals. Didn't see any TV cameras though...
I agree about the smell of the food... I think "Torture" sums it up. ;)

I was up on the A31 hogs back last weekend when it first came helping out the polise till 3am and again the next day.
on Friday I offered again but I enquired if they would mind covering the fuel I used (just the fuel not the wear n tear) BUT I was shocked to get the reply, "sorry no we cannot make any type of payment to a civillian unless you are a business and we award you a contract to help".
therefore after happily paying out over £70 of my own money last week on fuel I have decided to sit out this week...
