Yes I am serious, and having read your post I think we should have a thread for the most stupid answers. Perhaps you should read the sticky Bozza posted this morning.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

If the customer said I’ll pay you up front then they could go home for a bit... Problem with being self employed is only to evident over this and the news coming out won’t keep builders indoors

Sounds like a Daily Express headline - actually, to be fair, the Express would be screaming about 'killer blizzards' and 'Siberian hurricanes'

This is all pointless without mass testing or access to self testing.

Lucky you. Our washing line broke during one of the winter storms and haven't had a chance/time to buy and put a new one up. No chance to do that until at least mid April now.

I think also people think that everyone on PAYE can get 80% of salary up to £30k they can't. I'm very much still WFH as are twenty members of my team, some I need FT and some PT, so they either keep working on lower salaries or they go onto the furloughed scheme, problem for me is there's still work to be done but with 65% less revenue and income. I won't be taking a salary for months as the business can't afford it, but I'm working and can claim nothing, same as I did for the three years of building the business.

Improvise something, Yoda - clothes drying racks you might usually use indoors, or drape clothes on chairs outside (two chairs placed a few feet apart are good for a bed sheet), or a string washing line... it’s Viz wartime top tips all over again

I'd rather you just bought me some bog roll.

Shouldn't really giggle, as this is serious but that made me chuckle. How long before people are mugged or burgled with just their shopping being taken?

Mrs PS got some toilet roll at Tesco's today. Only thing they didn't have was pasta and milk. Thankfully they are now making the idiot's adhere to the quotas they've set. Some legends must have enough for the next 6 month's and freezers full of food they probably won't eat but they had to buy it anyway.

Well, it's all about acts of kindness.
Aldi had stocked up this morning and I managed to get a whole shopping trolley stuffed full of everything I needed. The store started to empty pretty quick. A little old lady then came up behind me in the queue to the tills with only 2 things off her list she could find.*
So I did the only thing you can do, "listen love, you can go in front of me, you only have 2 items".**
*I didn't go to Aldi today.
**This didn't actually happen.

Hopefully, as long as people stick to the new lockdown rules the shops should have sufficient stock. I'm not sure who will be 'policing' the shops though.

It would be really stupid if you held a BBQ with 20 odd people, after all, we have the weather for it.
But surely you would have to be off the scale selfish to do that.
Let's hope nobody does that.

I think you may have been whooshed
2.5m of us small company owners are in that same boat. As there’s still some activity, we can’t through the company PAYE scheme reclaim 80% of our own salary (typically c£8.6k).
I assume that the holidays and deferrals of business rates (hospitality sector), corp tax, VAT, grants and cheap government backed bank loans are intended to ease cashflow and see us through the crisis.
Do you pay rent (or own the freehold to your business premises?). Many commercial landlords are playing ball with temporary assistance to tenants to help them through, and to keep a good tenant longterm.
