Must have been to hundreds of those what with work, weddings etc etc. Usually went out later and got bladdered. Always woke up feeling a bit peeky. Now I know why ffs.

Nothing to do with the hangover or anything lol

I never thought I would ever buy a snood but needs must and it is now my makeshift mask for the shops.

The downside is that with my home-done skinhead and snood pulled up I look like I’m there to rob the shop.

Go for a mask shop. High return for minimal effort.

It's advice and not required. Even in small shops and public transport it's mere advice.

I cant understand why folk dont follow mere advice though. Maybe thats the difference we have. You would be fine with centralised instruction with an iron fist of policing. I am more comfortable with science based advice and being treated like an adult.

I think if I ran a small shop I'd be more terrified of someone without a face covering than being robbed, tbh!

All about reading the eyes Dave lol

Absolutely not. I got poisoned by Geoff in accounts.

Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick detailed the changes to social distancing measures that came into effect in England. He outlined the government's plan to restart the housing market and construction industry in England, stressing the strict safeguards in place. But he acknowledged allowing house viewings "may seem confusing at first glance, especially when people have been separated from their loved ones for so long".

10,000 unaccounted for deaths in care homes compared to the year on year avarage..

So in April, with all deaths given a reason for death including 8,000 from Covid-19, there were 10,000 that didn't have a reason, wonder what's caused those 10,000 deaths then.

Looking like there could have been 18,000 deaths down to Covid, and the Govt are only claiming 8,000

There are no words to describe what this lot are trying to get away with and sweep under the carpet.

I heard earlier that virtual viewings were "preferred".

I mean would anyone buy a house without ever actually wanting to see it "live", so to speak. Does seem a weird priority.

I start from the premise that Thatcher's Kinder are all thick and/or selfish. You cant advise them, they have to be told...and if they dont abide by it they have to be fined...massively.

I am not familier with that phrase. But as she hasnt been in power for what, 40 years give or take, not even sure who it even applies to.

That said, I agree. Give the advice, and if you are a tool, in the bin with you. Like its not that difficult to adhere to. (With a nod to the poor soles holed up in a flat for 7 weeks with 2 under 7s).

Anyone looking fore the hassle of shifting homes now must be desperate, I suppose.

But the main point was over allowing this activity, but not allowing family visits.

Another contradiction.

Oh the guidance/advice given at the weekend was so opaque. It was like they were almost trying too hard to get "normal" asap.

I have just carried on in our little bubble.

That's what people need to do: ignore the new advice (apart from face coverings and extending the distance needed to get out and exercise...that does no harm) and sit tight.
