Lol, was only thinking this same thing. Have the fears of the Forever Squad been assuaged at all or is this a nefarious new stage to a coordinated plan by all the governments of the world?

Anyone cynical might think the PM was doing it for political reasons.

Imagine the cynicism of a government that would do that?
It's unthinkable!

Basically all I've done in that time is sit on my sofa and post on GOT.

I’m not really in the know as to the NHS situation to decide whether moving away from Plan B right now makes sense, but the way the government are doing it certainly doesn’t. It’s presumably safe for everyone to return to working in person today, but everyone needs to continue wearing masks and showing COVID passports, but only for another seven days? Also, why tell everyone to go back into the office on a Thursday?

To be fair the delay seems to be an administrative/ legislation thing - the bits from next week are legislation that expires on a certain date and would need a parliament vote/rewriting laws etc when there's very little point. Obviously lots of political stuff as well but that seems to make practical sense to me

For what it’s worth I was talking about Australia in the comment you have mentioned there, not the Uk.

Keep that memory would be my suggestion mate. I never saw Nik in the chapel of rest, (didnt want to remember her that way), same with Dad in hospital now.

That said, when I asked him if I could visit, he said "Lad, the last person you visited in Hospital died, so leave it to your Mum".

Humour is always with us.

She died today, my mother got over to see granny before she passed. She had to go via London as Birmingham flights were full.
As we are on the covid thread, Granny was the only resident of the nursing home not to have tested positive for covid over the 2 years.
