Well i'm loving it, as the nation is full off stupid people. So here we are, 6 months down the line. And it's de ja vu ...

Getting agency workers in to help cope, so it's basically name your own hours again for now.

Bread always used to be the thing that would send people into a frenzy years ago. I could quite happily live without it. I'd imagine our needs as a nation have changed considerably from when I was young.

When I was a kid bread & potatoes were basic staples, everything else was a bonus. Considering all the bread I make here I just about manage to consume one rye loaf a week. I never buy supermarket bread as it’s loaded with **** to make it last a month and has sugar which I never use in my baking unless it’s by request.

Also what happened to all the double and treble time for weekend working, workers used to get.

Unions were stronger back then. Countries that still have active unions, would never allow that to have happened.

What on earth makes people think there will be a shortage of bogg roll to start with?

The fact that every other **** is buying it by the trolley full?

My 2 sons have tested positive.

I think Sundays used to be 7pm until 10.30pm licensing hours, that was the shortest day of the week.

Sunday afternoons were a ****ing desert, waiting for 7.00pm opening.

Mad thing is they both had a cold, runny nose, no loss of taste, just a normal cold.

 

[Archers Road]

My 2 sons have tested positive.

Sorry to hear that mate.

What happens now, the whole family isolates I suppose, and you all get tested?

Look after yourselves mate, I hope it soon passes and you all come out okay. I’m sure you will.

 

[Libby]

Yeah all the best luvvy.

This is what I was meaning about accuracy.

The common cold is a corona virus isn't it?

At present they're getting into a blind panic over elevated positive tests when it's fairly clear most of the people with those results are perfectly ok. They need to find a way of differentiating between a corona virus common cold and the so called deadly (TM, the BBC) virus.

Anyway, hope they get over their colds quickly and enjoy your 14 days of quarantine!

Three of us went out for a pub meal last night with work. One pub wouldn't take the booking as we're not from the same family.

This is where Wales have got this a bit wrong to be honest, it's impossible to stop people 'coincidentally' meeting up in a pub of an evening but you're only allowed to take a table booking if everyone on the table is from the same (extended) family.

Not gonna work. They should just stick to the same maximum of six people like England has, otherwise pubs and restaurants in wales are really going to struggle.

Went to a different pub who didn't question it. I don't think they even knew the finer detail of the 'rule'.

I thought everyone was related to each other in Wales?

I only ever remember a 11pm weekday closing time, couldn't say if it was ever any earlier than that. Might have been Sunday hours on a bank holiday. I used to look older than most my mates, who were actually older than me, so surprisingly getting in a pub at 15, was not that difficult all them years ago. You just disappeared or kept your head down if the old bill turned up.

I’m guessing the gas lights helped as well!

There's something very weird about the whole bog roll hoarding thing. I just don't get it.

Sugar? I reckon I could do without sugar quite easily. Got me thinking though... fck knows as I don't have anything regularly to miss it... bread probably.

I read that the whole bog roll thing started in Australia the first time round as they import a significant percentage from China. It’s the herd stupidity which will drive this round of shortages.

Always used to be 11.00 til 3.00 then 5 till 10.30 Mon-Sat. On Sunday it was 11.00 till 2.00 then 7.00 till 10.30

Depended where you lived.
When i started drinking 10.30 but 6 miles down the road 11-00 as it was in the neighbouring county . Obviously no one ever jumped in a car and covered the 6 miles in 5 mins .
Looking back the 70's feels like a different life

Hilarious, fair play.

Hope everythings fine mate
Small consolation but since you can work from home at least no financial effect .

they can differentiate though there will be a percentage of false positives and presumably vice versa for various reasons . Just because someone isn't particularly ill doesn't mean they haven't got the virus and are therefore infectious .
