    We are where we are, I'm afraid, years of under investment and buying cheap China crap for years has left us and half the world at their mercy. The world being scared to put China in isolation in Jan has caused the problem.

    10k is not that serious given our population of 67 million.

    In a month? If it stopped at that maybe not. You must be in some state after this isolation. Living like a monk I presume <laugh>

    Ah, the usual. Can't back up anything you say, so you have a hissy fit. Quel surpris.

    Ah the usual, know you are wrong so ask for daft things that everyone except you already know.It's not a secret Nicola Sturgeon put Scotland into a lockdown the same day as Boris did London,etc etc etc, if you don't know this without needing links, you really shouldn't be talking about things you obviously know less than 99% of the country about.

    Did I? I think you find it funny because you just made it up. More Chesh opinion presented as fact. You can't possibly show me where I said that about Boris, because it didn't happen.

    As for my holiday, you're making that up too. Countries locking down had nothing to do with it, certainly not the ones with ports I was due to visit. Indeed, the ship continued with the cruise devoid of passengers. It was a decision made by all cruise lines worldwide, as I understand it. My major upset was about NCL's handling of our disembarkation, if you recall. Or perhaps you prefer not to.

    Ah, the usual continues. Predictable Chesh can't back up anything he says, so has yet another hissy fit as though that counts as data. Quel surpris.

    For someone who comes from Scotland you seem to know absolutely nothing about the place. You don't know when Scotland went into lockdown or shut schools, how embarrassing for a scot.

    Genuine question. How the hell, in a country of 60m can there be a shortage of ppe equipment and clothing. Can nobody stitch together the basic looking surgical garments or manufacture the Perspex face masks. Surely some of the thousands of factories closed could diversify into making this stuff. It’s very basic

    Embarrassing? Why? I lived here for 30 years. My focus is on keeping us alive, so why should I bone up on a country whose approach will not affect my health? <doh>

    It's you that should be embarrassed with such an odd view on life. With that sort of view, I take it you are right up to date on New Zealand? :huh:

    Yes that's correct I do keep in touch with the happenings in New Zealand. And a country who's border is less than 2 hrs away from you, could well affect your life,or do you think you're the only scot ever traveled to where you live.

    You wish, that's why Trump banned Brits from going to America, someone told him you wanted to transit.

    Ah, now we have it! Either you've actually checked out what I said & are rightly embarrassed, or as usual, you can't be bothered backing up the opinions you present as fact.

    Nothing changes.

    Good for you! Doesn't mean we all have to keep close tabs on places we've stayed.

    So if I interpret this tosh correctly, you're saying that I should take an interest in Scotland as it's less than 2 hours away? It's only 2 hours away from you too. So's Wales, N.Ireland, Eire, Isle of Man etc. Do you keep on top of all of them too? FFS! <doh>

    Well more than you obviously, as I know when Nicola Sturgeon locked down Scotland and shut the schools etc etc etc where as you don't.
    And no I can't leave my house and get to Eire or Northern Ireland in 2 hrs.
