Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

London people, if you are not commuting don't forget you can cancel your travel card for a refund of the remaining value!

I bought a 1-6 annual one last week and cancelled it today. Should get a healthy refund when not travelling for 12 weeks and buy a new one at that point. Otherwise I would be wasting 3 month while sitting in a chair at home.
 
No exam invigilating for me. I don't do it for the money but I'm sure some do, and the normal exam period is 10 weeks so a fair amount of lost earnings.

Had a little power nap this afternoon and woke feeling rough. Would normally just pass that off but now wondering if I've got it!
 
Lots of buzzing 17 and 18 year olds right now. No exams. Probably going to get predicted grades to get into university. Bummer for those who gambled everything on cramming at the last minute but my daughter is bouncing as she is comfortably home and hosed.

She is now trying to get her head around what she can do for the next 6 months.

I guess you’ve not Encountered southeastern. They’d pick a penny out of a dog turd!
I renewed my annual ticket 2 weeks ago and not expecting them to give me a penny back

My daughter is gutted, her mock a levels were ok but she expected better. The private tutors we've paid for and hour of upon hour of extra work she's put in over the last few months look to be wasted if what you say is true.

Relax. You obviously got the process wrong. It's not 'work, nap an hour and work' !

It should be 'Nap, work for an hour, then nap' - keep practising, you'll get it right.

no, straight TZL Oyster card for me. I change trains in Zone 1 from southwest to southern and there are no deals available so I had to bite the bullet and buy a full annual card.

Top one so far,

Over the last week we have had several convoys of prefabricated buildings heading up the link road to Barnstaple. Just seen on FB that they are to go into Chivnor to build a temp morgue.

No ---- it's the new school that's being built a mile down the road from me.

More fake news, scare mongering and over reaction.

There will be restrictions to come I imagine in the next few weeks and I think public transport will be reduced further and maybe even more pressure to restrict pub visiting etc but if the model the government is following is correct, we'll still several weeks behind Italy and so the impact and therefore restrictions isn't here yet. If they do come I don;'t think London will be singled out

Brilliant isn't it. London, THE transport hub of the UK. Perfect location to spread the virus from, and currently where the highest density of confirmed cases are, and that won't be locked down when the rest of the country is... some people aren't safe to be let out without their carer.

Sorry Martin, but it genuinely concerns me that you work in a hospital. Seriously? Get back in the real world at some point soon please.
