I think that's inevitable, I'm fortunate to have a garden, I feel sorry for those cooped up in flats...

Yes, having a garden is a blessing too. Today was my first opportunity to cut the grass due to all the recent rain and it was quite a job. My daughter and her two sons (one 6 year-old and one 16 months) live with us and it's going to be a real boon for them to go out the back and play.
 
That's wrong in my opinion. We're lucky enough to live next to Ruislip Woods and often walk to the lido and back, which is about a 3 mile round trip. People need to be able to use the open spaces in London.

Stroller, you ain’t that far from me and my mother in law lives in Ruislip Gardens.
If you need anything mate then let me know by DM.
 
I read this earlier today too. Utterly vile opportunistic behaviour. I’d hope his GMC license could be revoked as a result. Hardly in keeping with the Hippocratic oath.
When profiteering is criminalised, the appropriate punishment will be to force culprits like him to do community service at their own expense - making him buy food for our front line doctors and nurses, collecting and delivering it to them. He would have to have a card telling the shopkeeper what he was doing and why so that he could be charged an inflated price. I loved the sentence that he had not had the time to count how much money he had made.
 
As many are aware, I'm not a Tory fan but to be absolutely fair on this matter then I cant honestly fault the government up to date. Yes maybe we should have locked down sooner, stopped social gatherings etc etc. Boris is doing what he can based on advice given. I can and will complain about the unfairness for the self employed, but I think that will change, hopefully soon. Testing could be more widespread but whomever was in government couldn't do much better to be fair. This shouldn't be about politics and parties.
 
German Chancellor Angela Merkel in quarantine after doctor tests positive for coronavirus

So, she hasn't tested positive, just precautionary
It's seems a bit sereal that Breaking News comes up to say someone has tested positive for....flu.
