I imagine Ocado were mainly in the South of England but as the company grew they did extend further north but not sure they ever reached Scotland, but I could be wrong on that score. However the point of my comment was that part of the tie up with Waitrose was the insistence that the minimum order value was £60 (Ocado didn't make a profit for years!) However with the split Waitrose have been able to lower their minimum order value to £40 which I imagine opens up their customer catchment quite a bit and might suit yourself to save visits to supermarkets?

Around me I see those not wearing a mask use a face shield. If they feel not able to wear a mask but using a face shield I am fine. 

Why would anybody carry a cumbersome face shield rather than a mask which easily slips in the pocket?

Perhaps we need a "must wear a mask or face-shield" outside of the home without exception policy. No ifs or buts and strictly policed with an immediate fine for non-compliance. Similarly, if police visited "beauty spots/ leisure destinations" and applied immediate fine if vehicle registered more than 10 miles from the location might discourage what appears to be a lot of unnecessary travel.

Why need to"carry "a face shield?wear it as many do in this area ,all the time   as many also do with masks ,which may well be the next move to increase protection for us all,and a face shield is lees problamatic for those "exempt?"

Then wear a visor, as I said. We've got a body count of over 1,000 a day. We can't afford  a 'pretty please' approach.

Agree with the last part but there is no evidence that I've seen that wearing a mask in the open is needed or helps with stopping the virus?

Again without exception? There are medical ones.
