My neighbour however has taken the Micheal out of the whole situation

Moving because and I quote "been here 11 years. Bored now fancy a change"

Purple bricks used.. and then did visits one after the other litterally could tag team them

Guidelines completely ignored

Absolute rubbish. Our house has been for sale for 16 months, our offer in since July 2020. We are looking at exchanging this week and completing in 2 weeks.

We have not seen our new house as a family, we could only visit it twice and only in 2's. All houses we looked at we could not touch anything, could not open anything and have been masked and using anti bac an din 2's only.. We cannot go again to measure up. The restrictions are very rigorous and have been since last March. The same for everyone in our chain.

To sell our house we had to leave the property every time it was viewed, when we had the survey done we had to leave for half a day even though we are working from home, so go sit in the car. Compared to before lock down there has been a massive change and compared to most things zero chance of spreading Covid you see no one and touch nothing.

But you have obviously bought 3 or 4 houses in the last year and have witnessed all this first hand yes.. total nonsense and sums up everything we read in the press and on these forums, Bob said this, Bill said that, I read this I read that. Some people seem daft enough to believe anything rather than actually thinking about and understanding that 1 example of negative behaviour is not reflective of the whole otherwise surely everyone is an moron because i read a few of them everyday when quite rightly I know this is not true.

Sorry but read my post again and actually take it in

My neighbour had visit after visit. No gap in them

He did via purple bricks and managed the appointments himself

I've seen it over the road aswell with estate agents letting out the house

Visit one after the other

Yours may be following the rules but that one wasn't

And my neighbour did himself and that takes that layer out

They had 5 visits within a 2 hour period.

Oh and wasn't in twos

Full families, kids aswell. All in and out

Want Cctv? Ring picked up every visit as the motion set it off when they parked on the shared drive

It’s a complex equation, but I would guarantee to pay for this the budgets to be slashed will be; education, social care & the health service. Hope I’m wrong

I'd be amazed if any dept doesn't have its budget cut. There is going to be a big drop in tax coming in, big bills to pay. I'm not sure any dept will be safe.

I thought you only book in if you have received a letter.

No this has been knocking around for a week now, the site was up but the li k took down as folk were booking under 80,s that has now been rectified.
If you type kings mill over 80,s clinic on the net it takes you straight to the site.

Im not sure why you feel teachers are low down in the priority. The experts, not the politicians have continued to say that they are no more likely to die from the virus than any other person within their age group unless we have a load of 80 year old teachers.

People have already pointed out on here the problem of “priority workers children “ who is going to make the decision on priority jobs for vaccination. They have already said that they will review the priorities when they get past the 4th level,and I suspect teachers, police, armed forces and others will be boosted up the list.

The fact that 80% of deaths are in the over 80’s needs to be taken int consideration.

The list posted on here teachers were quite low.
If not they would not need boosting up the list.
But if we want kids in school we need to vaccinate school staff not just teachers.
This lets people who need to go to work.
My wife and daughter work in schools and by what they tell me schools will not be able to operate if any more staff get the virus or have to self isolate.
 
A little positive note to spread some cheer. A local Reading woman has set up a crowdfunding page amongst her friends, business associates, tennis club members etc with the sole aim of having a pot of money so we can order pizza (and potentially other take aways in time) for the ICU staff with two deliveries a week (one lunchtime - probably Tuesdays and one in the evening - probably Friday for the night staff). Up to around £6,000 so far so waistlines will be growing. Great gesture we're hoping to share with ED and other departments as this rolls out fully

I don't like how some say oh well this kid in a war torn country missed 4 years of school and didn't do them harm

That's one person who prob worked hard and caught up

How to catch up millions of kids? With already overwhelmed teachers

Why can't they cancel the Summer School Holidays and the kids catch up then, hopefully things will be a bit better later.

It can be different. Our office is not open plan and so everyone is in their own room. Masks worn everywhere outside of your own office, no going into other offices, contact through the internal phone system only. We had one case if covid in October that did not transmit to anyone else

That is good management, which tends to bear out what I was saying.
But I doubt if most are as mindful as your place.

How did you become aware? You see, this is important. Both O S and myself, and a lot of others are understanding that the first move will come from NHS contacting each individual when it's your turn.
It seems that if you live in the "catchment area" of one of these Super big vaccine stations, then you can book online, as you did.
So I suppose there is local publicity for the catchment area inviting that.
But , if there is, I haven't seen anything about it in the news etc.
Anyone know the SP on this?
