clangerman Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 all about the money AGAIN if small business is forced to close supermarkets busy rewarding years of staff loyalty by throwing them aside in their time of greatest need will sell their goods obviously we are NOT all in this together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borrow a couple of plants from the neighbour, put the price up by a number of times what the neighbour is charging, and carry on selling flowers, or are flowers the problem?

JKD Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Can he not sell any pots/containers and wrapping that come with free flowers ? Not sure if this is kosher, but possibly a loophole ? Seen it before,,,, people on an allotment couldn't sell their excess veggies etc, but could sell boxes,,,, that conveniently came with free veggies etc 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are saying is under the new rules - your identification will need to be checked for going into cafe's and restaurants under the rules... and you have to book them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted November 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Another wacky one. My gym is closed but I am still having 1-1 personal training sessions. My gym has an outside workstation area (photo below) but we are not allowed to use that. But my trainer can bring equipment out of the gym and I can workout using that. Exactly as explained by the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't get why you would be going into cafe's and restaurants but then that's not my thing. Sort of common sense to keep out the way as much as you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then its easy for me to say because my idea of fun is to sit in a hedge with the dog lol. But for others its getting out and about and socializing espeacially the younger folks who think they are indestructible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m what most would call young and I do like going to the pub but I follow the rules too much if anything, slightly frustrating not being able to see my very limited friend group when raves of 700+ are going on completely ruining all the hard work most are doing!
