Corona Virus Treatment

I know how many police cars we have in our village here...none. On the other hand, as its a rural community, we do have plenty hunting rifles, spare ground and excavators...

 

Do you really want to get in one of those long queues that you see outside banks these days?

 

It is disappointing the UK has excluded mainland Portugal from the "air bridge"" but pleased Azores and Madeira were granted permission.

I feel sad for the businesses that will suffer, but not necessarily the hotels who cater to the Brit hooligans that cause chaos here each year.

I am happy and feel safe here.

 

Well hopefully, now that distancing has come down to 1 mtr plus, from 2 mtrs we should see shorter queues

I assume 1mtr plus means if you are wearing a mask you can stand closer to the person in front than if you are not.

 

I've already paid my council tax plus the extra for the police.

 

We too have paid council and extra for police and we still don't see any even when you report things they don't come

 

It's not just villages that lose police stations. The local one that was at the Kent police headquarters was closed down some years ago. The nearest now is in the town centre.
And we have had stabbings and a couple of murders around here in the last few years.

 

Our 'manned' police station closed a couple of years ago.. although we do have the main fire, police and rescue headquarters for the county just down the road...it's not the same as there is no public access. The nearest normal police station in a few miles away....and that is now temporarily closed!!! I can't even remember when I last saw a police officer come to think it!!

 

Oh Mr. Trump:

Was going to do a bit of reconnaissance shopping at Morrisons tomorrow. Just found out that a member of staff at this particular store tested positive for coronvirus last week - so who knows whether the virus is still there lurking on a hard surface somewhere - a shopping trolley handle perhaps. I'm not going now.

The shopping centre close to Morrisons was heaving apparently.

Is plaster the new toilet roll? Lockdown DIY binge stretches UK supplies

Discovered this is still an issue when working on my daughter's house after removing the hardboard understair soffit to do a proper job with plasterboard and skim, then found a load of hollow plaster in a bedroom after stripping wallpaper, but luckily didn't hack the lot off to replaster the whole wall as I'd already discovered the shortage.

If this is anything like breadflour, it'll be Xmas before I can finish plastering.
