OK I did and they are still stationary but in different positions. Now what?

I'm not sure what you're getting at. You suggested the flights are sitting on runways, but the flights on that map are flights in the air (not on the tarmac or on runways), which means people moving about the country, which means the potential for the virus to spread, which was my original thought when posting that map.

Ulverston ?

Yes mate. Very civilised but too posh in Booths for me.

 

[Nymzee]

Is that Lancaster?

Ulverston.

Another terrible day for Italy, with another 889 deaths in 24 hours. Italy has now seen 10,023 deaths and over 92,000 cases. Some 70,000 are currently infected and 12,384 have recovered.

The scale of these numbers is hard to fathom. The worst air disaster ever killed just under 600 people; over the next weeks in Europe it will be as if the Tenerife collision was happening four or five times a day.

They are after you @Nymzee leg it !!

I did have a very strange call this week that someone was waiting for me outside my yard... could be those two.

Wouldn’t work; hardly anyone would donate if it’s optional.

It's a start though.

Even if it's just multimillionaire recruitment stewards who opt in.

@Keiran take off your florescent vest and donate to the nation please.

Yeah, that's a sad, but effective way of putting it!

It’ll just be the Bystander effect.

For a bit of light relief, put Talksport on. They have a quiz, and seemingly a hot line to Thick Ville.

Q. How many goals did *random striker* score last season? 1,2, or 3?

A. 5.

Welcome to Everton *random striker*

Maybe they got a list of former contestants from, 'Hold your plums.'

Not a patch on something like the Spanish Flu though (at least 17 MILLION deaths!)

How the hell did humankind come back from that?!

Think I have their second album.

They estimate it could have been nearer 100 million deaths actually.

Hit single of ‘Oops Someone Else Did It Again’

They're all witnesses in the Billy Butler #metoo trial now I'm afraid.
