Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

"Hi, my name is Hobbit, and I need to trade. Anyone got any butter? I've got 4 tins of HEINZ beans - not cheap Chinese copies. Also, HID has ran out of coffee. Can trade some Fray Bentos pies...?"

"Anyone out there dealing?"

I'll swap a Kenco Rich 150g pack for a coupla tins of your finest British Beans!

Decaf or full fat?
 
On a positive front was talking to an Amazon delivery driver whilst out mowing and he was very happy as everyone at home to take delivery and roads quieter
To counter that, the staples we buy from amazon for 3 years now (nappies and wet wipes) got silly expensive.
But we will be in for tomorrow’s delivery of a 20m network cable to get better connection in the ‘new home office’
 
Well we had our first case last night... borders shut-down today & all businesses other then essential services & food retailers are shut from tomorrow, total containment its being called

I'll make you all the coffee's you need and sennd them round - just trade me that Baby Steinway you were showing off in your travel post :cool:
 
Aaaah poor little lambs. 3 weeks on and off and they are moaning? Teachers eh? Wouldn't give 'em house room.

I know we are supposed to be nice. But please think before typing. All teachers have been doing their best to ensure key workers with kids can keep this country working in very trying circumstances.

The fact that seems idiots don't seem to appreciate this and think advice regarding travel don't apply to them suggests they should of paid more attention to them at school.
 
emergency services are going to struggle as the government said we can only send our children to school if "both" parents are keys workers. my wife and many others in the private sector don't have such understanding bosses.

alot of panicking chiefs at the minute wondering how they're going to manage on an already thin service

Sounds like the right thing to do, nip it in the bud early.
Dont really get the UK position, cases increasing fast and Boris is asking (not telling) people to do certain things that many are simply not heeding. Quite a number of people shopping and sitting out at the harbour pub drinking this afternoon in small groups as it was the nicest day of the year weather wise. People aren't clear on what they should do. Almost like they're doing these activities whilst they still can.
 
My just eat delivery driver used latex gloves when he arrived today

There's a cracking video and picture on Fbook showing a guy paying for a Chinese carry out with sheets of toilet paper, another of a guy in an awful state surrounded by empty booze bottles after a only few days isolation. sady i don't know how to post them.
 
My Mrs is a teacher in a private school. Announcement made about NHS workers and "key" works kids still being allowed into the school once it's shut so that parents can do their important jobs that serve the nation.....

.... You wouldn't believe what jobs some parents think are "key". Teachers and parents had an open and Frank discussion today and eventually it comes out from a couple of the parents that having their kids at home "doesn't work for them" despite the fact that they work from home.

It always amazes me just how selfish and self centered some people are.
