Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Commiserations. Bank may not be an empty gesture. One of our local hospitals is getting lots of people set up on bank, we assume because they think a second wave is likely enough to justify significant preparations. Thank you. I'm in with a good shout. I don't want to be blowing my own trumpet but ...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Had my line manager come to see me today. He's asked about my feelings regarding staying on if something were available, don't know why he hasn't been told about the email but there we go, anyway I've told him I'd be happy to. However, currently, as expected, there's nothing going, so, at the end of...

Re: In the news...

I understand the sentiment, but this is not like watching police murders in the USA, this is happening in our country, and the only way to be aware of it is to watch them. I am angry and I find it oppressive. Good. Now maybe I will do something about it. Sorry, I should probably have been clearer. ...

No wonder they blurred out his face: it's Simon Pegg ! I was sure I had seen the vid without the face blur, so thought I'd have a little look and immediately came across this, where in direct reference to The Real Ravenhurst s comment, the couple were stopped for "driving a motor vehicle on a road"...

Re: In the news...

It rather ties in with this one, which I'm sure you've all seen before. The footage is from 5 years ago but has only been released recently as a consquence of the current climate;

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Not done an update for yonks. Actually there's not an awful lot to tell. It's felt a bit weird for a week or so, like a pause button has been pressed. Basically we're ready to rock and roll, there are some minor bits and bobs but nothing time consuming, we'd need more PPE and more elements of medica...

Re: In the news...

Are we heading towards a war? The economies tanking, the wealth divide will undoubtedly widen further. A 2nd pandemic wave now seems likely. Divisions are growing between the alt right and BLM movement, and all shades (pun intended) in-between. The Brexit wound is far from healed. Our world leaders...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Despite all the stories about medical staff in London hospitals being driven to collapse by the workload, it appears that London has ceased all uptake of recently-retired doctors who were asked to volunteer - they are no being politely told we don't want you. Does anyone with an inside track know i...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

Bastards. Is the "discretion of the local authority" a peculiarly Welsh thing? I'm not sure to be honest JohnToo. I'm a bit shaken by it at the moment, I suspect this will be the end of the business if I can't sort it, aside from the financial hit that I'd be looking at you start to question what t...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread

The Welsh gov have followed the UK gov and have put in place certain strategies to help small businesses. As you are already aware, due to my normal employment status the best I could get is UC, one of the reasons for the NHS job. However, there is a rate relief scheme that, amongst others, says ret...
