You cant fine people for not wearing something they cant get hold of David.

We have had 1 mask all through this, 1 mask for the whole household, that to be honest we havent even opened due to saving it for an emergency.

I mean my daughter could get some from work, which would mean we are stealing them from the people that need them most, which is something we wont do.

I mean im with you most of the time David, but there arent any masks readily available.

Looks like school decision may be up to headmasters, and parents won't be fined if they don't send their kids before summer hols.

Makes sense tbh

Just had email off the school saying it will be their decision.
Quite sceptical about the lack of info available as well.

The teachers are phoning the kids up for a little chat too, which sounds daft, but it seemed to cheer my lads up.

TBF he didn’t - in the rest of Europe, they have been able to call in greater numbers of cops and the paramilitaries (like the CRS (edit: sorry, the Gendarmerie not the CRS) and the Carabinieri) to help with the lockdown. That wasn’t martial law, though they were all in various states of emergency.

We couldn’t do that here, because we don’t have that type of agency, or the extra cops we’d need to do it, or a Government who would have thought enforcing its own measures would be needed.

Sorry but once he started taking about the Peterloo Massacre in the same breath, his head well and truly came off.

Has anything been discussed about who looks after the children of parents who are now expected to return to work as of Wednesday?

My eldest lads school are doing the exact same thing mate.

I’ve heard via a mate who is a teacher, that it’s to let the kids know that they’re not forgotten and also to placate loony parents who think they’re little darlings have been abandoned.

I suspect that this is what has happened. Do you know when employers actually receive the money from the Government?

Wifes under the impression once the company applies for it they should get it within 2 weeks .

No, it's another government balls up, I accept that. However, ANY face covering - if all wear them - is a life saver for many people.

Just get a neck warmer on or adapt a scarf or something.
