Boris has Covid 19

And people believe it because its suits their beliefs? I see the same news you see in the UK, and I read the same papers yet I remembered the piece that said Cummings was self-isolating - it wasn't a back page piece by any means.

Not saying Cummings is an angel but every Chief Advisor to a PM since Bernard Ingham has been subject to smears. Would any PM have a manipulative Chief Advisor, tail wagging dog?

Maybe people need to use their intellect a little more and believe the press a little less.;)

I simply mused on a comment made by another about Cummings in the context of Raab seeming unwilling to actually tell us that he would be making the key decisions in the PMs absence. In that context my post wasn’t actually meant to be that serious and I honestly did not know that Cummings was in self-isolation and so for that I apologise.

Do they use Hermes to ship it, as they may run the risk of it not being delivered at all or being left in a neighbours bin ?

Might start another thread on those donkeys if you mention them again.

It's a bit like Harry Potter and he who shall not be named with me and that mob!

At least you know with a Hermes delivery that there no chance of Covid19 being alive on the packaging after all the virus doesn't survive on surfaces for 5 months ?

Had a parcel delivered by the local farmer this morning. Hermes has dropped it on his doorstep earlier this week. And apart from us living on the same lane which goes on for a bit, our addresses are not even remotely similar. I'm convinced they are using the fact they do not need a signature anymore as an excuse to just drop parcels off at random houses in the vague area if the address they are delivering to is not immediately obvious to them.

My oldest ordered some supplies for her college work that she can continue to do at home. Got a Hermes notification advising her they left it on her doorstep with the address in the email notification. They were right they'd left in on a doorstep indeed unfortunately that doorstep was in Gillingham and she lives in Rochester. I think your right the no signing is an excuse for even poorer delivery quality.

Was a post on our local facebook the other night, someones doorbell had rung and when they opened it there was fish and chips there and the delivery driver pulling away! Sounds like they never did find who it was meant for lol

Good luck to PM, reasonably positive news today I think, albeit very little news which is a little frustrating. 'No worse' or 'responding to treatment' seems like an ok place to be but I guess that's the default press release response generally.

Meantime park cricket is back on apparently :confused:

In all seriousness is it too much to ask young men to stay in much longer? Can't meet girls, can't play sports, can't socialise. Easier for us oldies to deal with it. If it cannot be enforced what do you do as a Govt? How do you manage it? Asking nicely doesn't seem to work. There aren't enough police or armed forces to get on top of it if the frustration increases, weather improves and numbers head out. I've seen a few kids on BMXs together here but no worse.

Saying that in Tesco earlier, entrance and tills managed quite well but in the aisles no, must have been passed within 2m at least 15 times despite trying to get noticed and keep back etc. People just not arsed.:( Lidl is a better option as much quieter but you can't get everything there.

Humping big fines and community service. Other countries seem to manage it.

Agree but the point is you need the feet on the ground to arrest or impose the fines first. I agree that idiots like the blokes laying cricket in the park need a massive dose of reality and 100 hours community service, especially in these days, would be an apt penalty. Shame it would take too much time but I'd love CCTV or someone to grass them and the police to pay them a visit and arrest them so the courts could apply the community service
 
Oh dear. Manchester Police report having to break up 660 parties last weekend. How did Dylan know :(

And how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

And how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
