Interesting view and I hope alot of it is correct, unfortunately, there are alot of very powerful, wealthy people who don't want alot of that to happen.

The mad rush is over it seems, people seem to be behaving, although my mother in law said the same, went shopping after two weeks but was worried about going out.

Social media has made us physically anti social. Even some rural folk can hardly be bothered to speak or make eye contact. Maybe social isolation will eventually make us more social and appreciate others! Who knows! I may even find a new woman! Which is where i came in. . . . . . . Gota be done. Putting it off as long as i can. Would happily pay someone to do it for me! . . , Keep your distance! . . . NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always too many obstacles thrown in your way. Don't really know what I will do but tired of trying to improve my lot and beating beaten back at every turn. So time with family. Time for myself. Finish a few things that I have been too busy for (flying lessons etc) and just conform instead of trying to achieve more. Edd hello, will you keep your gun shop Edd ?

AVB Posted March 29, 2020 Report Share Posted March 29, 2020 I’ve started taking more notice on what I spend money on and trying to cut back. Have renegotiated or in the process of renegotiating Car, house, heating and private health Insurance. Also looking at all the magazine subscriptions that that the wife and I have and severely cutting back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when I got my licence in around 2003 I done the same walk on my own until I read an article that suggested it was illegal... haven't done it since but it's amazing how in rural(ish) areas that's reasonably normal or at least was walk through a bigger town like that and the armed response unit nabs you.

Cosmicblue Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 When this is over - which I suspect is a year or more away as the Government aren't being truthful (who'd have thought it eh?) as to the duration of the restrictions, increased to 6 months yesterday, give it another 10 days and it will increase again. Back to the question - I'll be on top of the DIY so I want to get out and shooting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Clavata Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 I WILL NOT use JD sports, Sports Direct or Weatherspoons again due to how they have treated their employees and suppliers. I will support the likes of Ford Motor Company due to how they have supported their staff and the community. They have moved production over to respirators in some plants. Dyson look like they will also do the same. I will avoid all those shops that have raised prices to cash in. I will use the supermarkets that work the hardest to keep us safe and treat their staff well. I will wherever possible purchase from brands whose holding companies have quickly switched production lines to hand sanitiser and face masks. I will support the small businesses who fought to get through this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar here, I've already been avoiding Virgin and will continue to do so but the main change will be trying to buy less from the cheaper Chinese suppliers on eBay and paying a bit extra (for a usually better product) from a seller closer to home, although most of my shooting & reloading stuff is USA based so they'll still get support too (via UK dealers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
