Coronavirus

I fairness Wilkos has been open throughout and you can buy lightbulbs, paint and other diy stuff there along with house cleaning and personal cleaning products so I personally do not get why B and Q needs to be opened other than for getting the economy restarted bit by bit.
The other thing is that most B and Q shops need to be driven to as they are out of town so it kind of encourages further travel...in my part of london you'd have to drive at least 4 miles to get to one but wilkos are usually in town centreswith supermarkets.

I do agree that for mental health reasons doing stuff at home is good...I have done a lot of clearing out and a lot of stuff in the garden. I even made a small brick vegetable bed ... using cement and **** ... no big deal for most but a big thing for me cos I ain't done anything like it before. I had the bricks for years but just stacked in a corner.
Doing that project was very good for my state of mind.

 

I agree. Firstly there’s the mental health issue, then the issue of domestic violence. Not everyone is happy being locked in with their families, some families will be really struggling, and not only the most disfunctional ones either.

And when it comes to the economy, it’s not a simple matter of putting money before people. It’s people’s livelihoods that are threatened when the economy tanks.

 

Sorry mate, only just seen this.

@1.4 trillion go fook yourself

 

Oh Roy.

 

That was my answer

EDIT: I’m now a dick

 

I’ve said all along there has to be balance between the economy and the health response. It’s not as simple as just going all out to protect people when the lasting economic effects will have an impact on physical and mental health and quality of life for millions of people.

 

Have been asked if I will work in another school with one of the kids from my school who is not coping. I am going to (discussed it with mrs RCL and the teenbeast) but fully support the colleague who had to say no cos she lives with her vulnerable grandad.
There are 3 others in that type of situation so only a few of us can be asked. The school snd the stsff like me fully support them and are happy for them to stay home.

I really hope your job and workmates see it like that ... tbh if an employer can not show understanding of such issues then they are a disgrace.

Good luck to you and yours mate

 

24 hour site ban for abusing Admin behind PM

 

Sucky’s Ban was a bit harsh tbf, I think he’s improved a lot recently.

 

It’s an interesting thing to look at tbh. For example I have a couple of staff currently furloughed who would rather not work due to situations with vulnerable people at home. I furloughed them before others so they wouldn’t have to come in. But most of the clients who panicked and suspended services (not that many to be fair) are now asking us to continue services again. I’ll soon be in a position where I have to ask them to come back to work because there will be work we are contractually obliged to complete and we will need them to do it. When the work is there I don’t see how I have any choice but to put them in the difficult position of deciding whether to come back to work or not.

 

Do you think a site ban would have been fairer?

 

Hope the takeover gets announced in an hour.

 

I think we have a moral obligation to ensure his welfare, let’s put our arms around him and welcome him back to the group.

 

I reckon he's got a sock, i've just not been able to suss it out yet.

 

He’s got more socks than a laundrette lost and found box ffs.

 

Shouldn’t you be retired? You look about 85 in the photos you post on here

 

Ooh hello.

Get the grill on lads.

 

Normally I can find the socks, it's just I can't believe he can keep quiet even for 24 hours - so how the hell another account is not relentless is baffling.

 

He’s defo gonna **** **** up when his lockdown is over.
