      No, he will be absolutely fine in a business as it is a workplace - we are allowed more than six people in a workplace because the virus knows we are at work and it is to leave us alone; besides, it is too busy dealing with people who go out to the pub, and particularly anyone who sings or dances in a pub, or is out after 10pm. Oh, and the first four folks that come to visit you in your house are absolutely fine - it is the fifth one that is the problem.

        You're OK after 10 p.m. because you can hop over to NI as they're able to stay open until 11 p.m.

          Probably should not have said the NHS was working at reduced capacity, but let's say concentrating on just one thing.:smile:

            Well, someone used the word Draconian:heehee: You might much rather have four weeks of total shutdown but how would you intend to deal with the people, from all walks of Life, who would disagree and disobey your total lockdown should you be able to try to enforce it.:scratch: Jail them?, as fines would be ineffective due to the time to enforce them.
            We can't even get individuals to listen to the National Protocols of Wash your hands, wear a Mask, keep your distance, so how do you get the individuals who think there's no such thing as COVID 19, or it's a conspiracy to take our democratic rights away, or those people who don't give a damn, or just like criticising and muddying the waters for the joy of it:scratch:
            Every country has had to learn from scratch about COVID 19 and all have made mistakes on the way, the people on the street of all those countries have been split on whether or not they should follow the constantly changing advice.
            We seem to think that Governments should be able to fire the correct, long lasting solutions straight from the hip straight from the start but, even if they could, certain sections of the public would still think there's no COVID 19, the action being asked for them to do is wrong, or it's not for them to listen to and follow.
            We have a situation of being a Nation of devolved Governments, each of whom can decide their own ways of tackling the COVID 19, add to that the practice of local lockdown, our democratic right to question, criticise, deny, confuse, and refuse to obey and then things aren't so simple as we believe them to be. But we still believe that simple, long lasting solutions that all people will follow can be offered while still not, ourselves, offering any.
            We have a critical situation in all four Nations within the UK where the infection rates is rising dramatically along with, tragically, the number of deaths. Is it the various Governments fault, or is it the fact that we, the people, are not listening because we think we are right, and the Governments are wrong?:scratch:........a long, revered, British belief which, in this case, is costing lives.

              Just stay in your home, chain up the front gates and get your click n collect groceries left outside.
              Make sure he/she has brought the dozen bottles of beer and yer favorite wines n spirits.
              Wear surgical gloves and visor as you sign the drivers invoice.
              You've already filled the freezer and garage with panic buying, so you can sit back safely and get the family to do the same assuming they work from home so they can visit within reason.. Simples. Boris would be proud.

                    So today the speaker of the house slammed Boris.

                    I wonder just how serious Boris was, when he apologised for not knowing what he meant!!!.

                    YES this pandemic is serious, but I am sure many folk like me are getting fed up with all the jargon etc.

                    Daughter Amanda and I ventured out yesterday to the Cash & Carry. The warehouse was almost deserted. Howver most shoppers were blac. I really hate using that term. None of those we saw were wearing a facemask. Why do these people flout the rules so much? If approached, up goes the race card, same with stop and search etc. Hey people. Take a look in the mirror. Who is it breaking the rules? No offence expressed or implied.

                          If you're over weight you can get a bike on the NHS tax payer, so with covid can you get a smart phone on the NHS being that it could save your and others peoples lives with the new covid track and trace App

                          Boris yesturday came out of No 10 and got into car with a mask on so why didn't he wear one when he went to that business, some ting just don't make sence

                            I had been meeting up with some chums for a Sunday brekkie in the local cafe. All this will end again - I've just read that people from different households who meet up indoors - in a cafe for example - are committing a criminal offence. So far I've managed to avoid getting a criminal record..:wow:

                            Nothing wrong with using the term black to describe someone - it's no different to saying that bloke wearing the hat - just a means to identify someone. Nobody seems to mind describing someone as white.

                            Given all the media coverage about BAME people being at greater risk from Covid-19 - it looks like the message isn't getting through.
