Coronavirus

[Joelinton's Right Foot]

There are some very genuine people out there doing everything they can for the vulnerable. We've offered to shop for our next door neighbour who is in her 80's and lost her hubby to cancer about 18 months ago. If I caught any ****er trying to take advantage of her in this climate I would likely end up inside because I might be 60 now but I can still swing a baseball bat to good effect

I doubt you would end up inside. All your other neighbours would develop a spot of the Arsene Wengers and claim they hadn't seen it.

They've been told for the last 30 years not to let strangers into the home, so yes, they are. I didn't make the world we live in I just understand how it works, and they've had twice the time to figure it out than I have.

I feel a bit sorry for you, Hernia ..
understanding it is no excuse for accepting it ... grow a pair and join the good fight, rather than blaming the vulnerable for trusting ... there's a good lad now

More seriously... girl I work with is self isolating and very likely has it ... spoken with her today and she's feeling pretty rough ... but given her age she should come through fine ...

Banged it?

We've got 8 or 9 so far, plus 2 managers.

Had a briefing today, feeling any off the symptoms, or anyone in your house...Isolate...Live alone 7 days, with others 14 days.

If you have no symptoms, please come to work, and any extra hours you can do..

We just can't keep up.

It's amazing how much money is in that tree if you give it a good shake.

Yes mate, no more than 11 in a row, or have 2 off in 14.....

I just did 10 in a row, had Sunday off, and now doing another 7. As they agreed to me working Thursday (my day off)

No restrictions on number of hours worked each shift, up to 12 i think.

So i'm doing 10's.

It's 11 hours of between shifts ..The rest is up to you.

They seem to be bending the rules a bit, for those who want to work

Tbh even then, the government aren't doing much to bail anyone out. This bit sticks with me...

The extraordinary figure here was £330bn in state-backed loans for all businesses through the banking system with the help of the Bank of England.

Which means ultimately, when businesses are unable to pay the loans back, the government will have to, ie. taxpayers will make the bankers very rich. And the reason this fcks me off is I think, well if we're going to end up writing off billions, why should it be to the banks, why not just give it to those who need it now, including businesses.

Yeah we had this restriction imposed on us .
Me and my mate used to swap every week but that meant going home at 10.20pm and back at 5.40 am
No prob to us but Asda basically told us it wasnt allowed.
I looked at the hse website and it's not actually a day off a week it's a one 24 hour period .
Also I think some of these rulles can be got around in extenuating circumstances which this is !
We've had our first person isolate .
We wouldn't be far away from closing if any others get it .
Fook knows what would happen then as we supply all the labels for Pasta,Curry etc sauces .
It could well just break down as they are calling for millions of labels and they're allowing people to take holiday days .

Seems like they are gonna close down the massive George depot, down the road, to help distribute the man power.

Don't know how this this work,,,,Pointless sending them to the Ambient depot, as everything is done using trucks, My old depot.

Probably not many are of use to our depot, as it's a fridge...And basically have light and heavy work....The light work is done by the women and the knackers on restrictions. The heavy stuff is left to a small group..Not being funny, but a big difference to shifting knickers, to start hoying 18kg boxes of bananas, carrots and turnips, etc.

I expect most will be deployed to stores, to help out;

I was about to post that exact same thing then wondered if it would give away what a dense ****er I am

I have a nice woman from the Indonesian Red Cross who rings me up every few months to remind me and then asks whether I wouldnt mind popping down and donating some to one of the few Indonesians who has my blood type and needs an operation. Apparently Rhesus negative blood is rare here and AB is also uncommon in Asians so they have a list of emergency caucasian donors they call up. They even use a new needle for each donor.

Clever people on the telly keep saying that we have to try and minimise social interaction so I’ve decided not to send the kids to school til next term. We’re not supposed to eat in restaurants but kids going to school is somehow ok? The clincher was my son’s best mate telling us his mum has had a positive test result.

I bet your son told him to say that.

The loans are interest free, the banks will not profit from it

If your veg is starting to look a bit ropey turn it into soup and freeze what you can't consume fresh ... my Missus makes Fookin awesome spiced parsnip and various squash and carrot and coriander soups ...

I use ropey veg, including inedible bits like the leaves off a cauliflower, the stems from spinach etc, to make stock. And the stock to make risotto (risotto is all about the stock).

Banged it?

Only been there 5 weeks and she's been in isolation for 2 ... give it time ffs
