When you were shielding, you missed them luckily for you. Not just from CV19, but it might’ve annoyed you. I remember in April at one of the press conferences, JVT or one of the other civil servants, saying they were really grateful for 85% public compliance. Fair enough, good citizens. But...

Yes. It revealed and this was said at the time, that scientists disagreed throughout February and March. That’s normal I gather. The BBC in this prog interviewed scientists who explained why they dissented with the mainstream in March, they came across as balanced folk without hyperbole, but...

Throughout the UK, there must be countless areas with multiple schools using buses, not just Swale. Driving through Newick and all the village near there for example, there are buses taking half the kids to Chailey and others taking the other half the other way to Uckfield. Plus countless...

BBC SE just covered Swale. No guesses as to the reasons for the awful numbers there now. KentLive have covered the schools angle in Swale. A short spike when the schools went back, then contained with low numbers for the rest of September. Could it also be that aspect that you and I have...

Deja vu .... your post #579 :lolol:

Palace through and through. The Seaweed are my 92nd favourite league club.

Agreed. Plus the unfairness of M&S and Tesco's who have slyly this time opened everything up, whilst independent toy shops must close. Where should lines be drawn? I'm not anti pub or restaurant, we love eating out, but they are obvious indoor spaces where masks aren't worn, boozers lose...

It's you that's trying to say that I don't care about hospitality industry jobs and livelihoods. I have friends in the industry including a freehold pub owner, who imho they should be supported to get through this. Let's not conflate two issues here. Punters will survive 4 weeks of not...

It's no life as at to die from CV19. Lockdown and restrictions across Europe have saved the lives of countless folk who deserve to live from CV19. Who argues that business don't need support? Punters can wait 4 weeks from boozing in a pub.

All about personal views, I want the economy working. Whilst unnecessary stuff such as pubs and restaurants closing for 4 weeks shirley isn't too much of hardship, if it breaks the pattern of rising R value and CV19 deaths.

I hope the results of the scan are good news. This is my experience too. The single change I've seen is there's no longer a 4pm to 6pm rush hour jams, whilst there just was a fortnight ago. Just guessing, stemming from a combination of; emboldenedCV19 deniers/faux libertarians, big stores...

:thumbsup:

I never forget your trying and special circumstances. Others (not referring to NSC) talk themselves into negativity, watching 8 months of wall to wall TV ‘news’. Whilst possibly 10m’s, the quiet majority?, have embraced WFH, no commuting, longer sleeps, seeing their kids grow up.

It has. Two school years have been affected by CV19, so putting 1.5m kids back in school, in classrooms that don’t exist, needing additional teachers that don’t exist. Instead, head teachers and teaching unions called for an assessment of children’s grades based largely on their input, rather...

It wasn't a rhetorical question, I genuinely wondered if you have kids in years 11 or 13. Yep, plenty of blunders, I agree with you. From care homes, the March lockdown came a week too late and the government have been too laissez faire on the subculture who’ve ignored the rules from day one...

Need to break this argument down. Pre covid - our educators abhor families taking their kids out of school for holidays. Covid - we all know that next year’s exams won’t go ahead. My 15 year old has been told by her school of that likelihood. Wales have only just announced it, Scotland and...

Interesting post, thanks. I recall when quite a while back, when I posted about flagrant ignorers of social distancing rules here, you replied all was good in Burgess Hill in your experience. In supermarkets here, I now see a sizeable minority of people in healthy age groups, giving two...

That’s true, with the one big exception of the evening rush hour .... it’s disappeared. A week ago Dyke Road Avenue every weekday between 4 and 6 was its traditional horrendous jam backing up half a mile going northwards up to the roundabout. Now barely a car. I assume that office workers are...

Wearing masks outside must’ve been a civilised central London thing earlier this year. I rarely saw that down here on Brighton.
