Now, no way is a window cleaner a key worker, dirty windows aren't going to make a difference for anyone.

saw a window cleaner out working today while taking my walk

I must say I was extremely surprised by the verdict You do wonder, probably best to leave it at that

My stockbroker has advised sit tight. This is why ordinary investors are much better off investing in funds, you, as an individual, haven't got the background knowledge to know which shares are going to come good and which are going to crash and burn

The trouble with all of this is the language "Where ever possible you should try to..." is being interpreted as "its still possible not to if you don't want to" "You should" is being interpreted as "if you want to but its optional"

There is a Victorian house at the end of our Cul de Sac that is having a big extension. The men are working there this morning, all of them sound like Eastern European, no distancing going on they don't wear safety gear etc. No intention of stopping I would say, I should imagine they arrive and leave by public transport because there are no obvious cars. This is the gig economy, cash in hand no receipts no work no pay.

A friend of mine in his early 50s and an ex career soldier has had a letter saying he is regarded as still on the reserve list and would he please fill out the following questionnaire. He would be delighted to go if it means getting paid but he would be worried about his wife who has a few health problems.

You are absolutely NOT going way OTT, this is how it must be now, its the new reality. The world has changed, otherwise you will be like my mate who tells me his local pub has closed so they all just go in round the back and knock the secret knock. That's the Cornish for you, tell them to do something and you can be totally sure its the last thing they would ever think of doing. Be sensible, be safe, it may not be you that dies but somebody will

This was sent to me today This explains the situation really well... Let’s talk about just one of the people who has ‘escaped’ to the hills to ‘socially distance’ themselves. Let’s call him Brian. Brian has been at work all week, he isn’t lucky enough to work at home. Brian eats the lunch he carefully prepared at home on Tuesday, at his desk. Tom the cleaner cleaned Brian’s desk on Monday evening, but Tom had spent the weekend getting smashed in various pubs with his mates. Tom didn’t know it but he was infected. Before Tom cleaned Brian’s desk, he coughed into his hands. He doesn’t care about COVID-19 because he’s young and he believes it wont affect him. Whilst cleaning Brians desk he sheds some of the virus onto Brians keyboard. Brian has been using his keyboard all morning, and he just started eating his sandwich. Brian is now infected, but he wont show symptoms for another week. Fast forward to the weekend and Brian decides, because he’s fit and healthy, he’s going to climb Snowdon with his wife. They arrive at Pen Y Pass after a 2 hour drive during which Brian shared some of his water with his wife. Brian is literally a virus incubator right now and if she hasn’t breathed in the virus, she’s covered in it, it’s only a matter of time. Brian pays his £10 parking charge using the machine and off he goes. There’s lots of lovely virus on the machine now, waiting for the next person...and the next...and the next. Brian and his wife decide to take the PYG track and it’s really busy. It’s so busy in fact that on the way up he has to wait in a queue to go over the stile at the Crib Goch junction. Brian isn’t wearing gloves today because the weather is nice and walking keeps you warm. He’s feeling a little more fatigued than usual though. Over the stile they both go, innocently shedding virus as they do. He’s sweating quite a bit and keeps wiping his face with his hand. At several points they have to put their hands on rock, the same rocks everyone else has to. Finally though, they get to the top, yay! They both have to wait in another queue to get onto the summit trig, which they touch, because it’s a kind of ritual. They don’t think about the 1000 other people who will do the same after them today. On the way down Brian’s wife takes a little tumble and twists her ankle. Mike, a local, comes over to offer assistance, which Is gratefully accepted. Mike and Brian support Brian’s wife to the bottom, Brian shake Mikes hand and they depart. Under normal circumstances Brian would take his wife to a minor injuries clinic, but they know the NHS is under strain because of the virus, it’s probably only a light sprain anyway, so they dont bother, they’re doing their bit to help by not going to hospital. Brian doesn’t know that he’s just infected countless people, and they don’t know either. Brian thinks what he is doing wont harm anyone and he goes home really happy with himself that he’s only doing what the government told him to do. On the way home he really begins to feel rough but thinks he’s tired from the walk, so he stops for a coffee at the Shell garage in Betws Y Coed and gets himself a costa express coffee. After he’s chosen his drink using his bare hands on the touch screen, he uses some hand gel, because, he doesn’t want to catch the virus! He’s a responsible citizen though, so he keeps his distance from everyone else in the shop, 2 metres! Brian has no idea he’s just unleashed a plague on North Wales in spectacular fashion. Stay at home folks. Don’t be Brian.

With all the booze flying off the shelves it might increase

As long as you have the receipt kept safe no need to if its only to store. However what I have done before is sign it over to the RFD so I can free up the slot. Its unrealistic to think much is going to sell at the moment.

I think it was initially arrogance but some of the stuff she has come out with since leans towards her having a screw loose

I have some iso in the garage, good call

Germany has about 6X the high dependency beds per capita compared to the UK. My local hospital, Northwick Park had to stop admissions for a while yesterday and we are nowhere near the peak yet.

My mate said much the same, he got to the supermarket for opening time and there were about 200 people of all ages waiting outside. When the doors opened they all just surged forward and went rushing around like they were on supermarket sweep chucking anything they could get into their basket. He said something to a staff member and the staff member said "I can't do anything about it, they would just tell me to FO" So much for self isolating when you are queuing up with 200 chavs

I presume the idea applies to tins, bottles, and packets not frozen stuff.

The trouble with legalising it is that would remove the income stream from thousands of lowlife scumbags who sell it. They would have to find other ways to fund their lifestyle because they are not going to go out and get a job are they?

They say that the three day rule should be applied to all things coming into the house. Pick the post off the mat with tweezers or gloves and put it somewhere safe out of the way for three days before opening it. It has already been recognised that post is potentially hazardous. Same with shopping, bring the bags in but don't unpack them for three days if you want to be ultra safe.

Cornwall is called cannabis county by my mate who lives there

Oh yes but the millions came from people who lost their money. That's how these things work.

A ponsi currency, it only exists because people believe it will make them money. Anything that looks too good to be true is because it is too good to be true. Money cannot be created from nothing.

I agree, parking is a big part of it for me

Can you imagine what it would be like with Corbyn and Abbott running the show? or Theresa May for that matter? I think we are lucky we have Boris

I have just come back from Sainsburys, its unbelieveable, nothing left at all even the things you would not associate with panic buying had been stripped bare.

I just bought a toilet brush but its no good, after two days I'm going back to paper
