Brigg company EC Surfacing donated some personal protection equipment to nursing staff at Grimsby hospital.
Pizza Jimmy - on the corner of Princes Street and Bigby Street - offered free boxed takeaways to staff at Brigg's Riverside Surgery.
Near to this takeaway, DDM Agriculture is currently marketing some interesting old buildings in Castlethorpe as available for redevelopment, subject to planning approval.
Castlethorpe Barns form part of a traditional farmstead, available for sale by private treaty - freehold with vacant possession. Complete renovation will be required.
Further details can be found in DDM Agriculture's sales display window which is close to the pizza house and the zebra crossing.
While Brigg people are enduring lockdown during the Coronavirus emergency, topics of many kinds are arising.
Takeaways are a talking point with many outlets offering deliveries as well as food to collect.
We finally broke our takeaway duck, to use a cricketing term, in the lockdown by collecting a curry from Brigg's Mumbai Lounge.
All staff, including the proprietor, wore protective equipment, including facemasks. Good service accompanied an enjoyable meal.
It's heartening to see spaghetti and other types of pasta back on the shelves after bulk or panic buying by some people from Brigg shops earlier in the emergency period.
Meanwhile, more Brigg people of a certain age are getting used to making contactless cash payments in local shops - something the younger age group has been doing for a long time. This avoids shop assistants having to touch notes and coins. The only downside for seniors used to budgeting with money is keeping a check on their spending. Avoiding the temptation to splash the cash has been replaced by the need to retard the card!
We are sorry to be pedantic, but can the government amend future public information appeals on TV?
'Stay home' may be acceptable in the USA, but in English the instruction requires a preposition and should be Stay at Home.
Sadly, despite a reduction in people who are out and about in Brigg town centre at present, abuses of the pedestrian area by those riding cycles and driving vehicles continue day by day.
The other afternoon, while we were taking a permitted exercise period walk, the pedestrians present were outnumbered by five parked vehicles and three bikes!
