It's good there are different options, but this would be very unpalatable for me. The "anonymity" of these big spaces leads to very anti social behaviour in my experience. Luckily in 10 years in London I never shared with more than 1 other person and now own my flat.
In the US can you not order food for delivery directly from supermarket, same for restaurants?
I would have thought in the UK Tesco, Sainsburys etc do as well as any delivery only services (Ocado, Amazon Fresh etc).
I would have guessed direct restaurant orders are as large as justeat/uber eats style services. They would certainly deserve a place on the pie chart...
I also dont believe the average US consumer spends $105/month on meal kits...
The conclusion is classic Telegraph- where conservative values trump research or real life. A lot of their content is written to keep their readers happy- "I know my kids".
Ha yes we all just avoid eye contact with each other! More seriously though, I actually find I interact with a less diverse range of people here than when I lived in more provincial towns, because you can always find very specific groups of people (ie developer events, climbers, guitarists who are into blues etc) rather than settling for more generic groups.
