tbh I think it's hilarious, but I do feel for the people of Liverpool... always found them to be a great people in general plus the United lot will be the ****s they always have been and run it in.. forgive me tel etc , but from the outside looking in they deserve it and you have had your fun ...
You know it's bad when you're thinking to yourself that you can't wait for work tomorrow.
It’s really not. That’s just sugary milk powder. It’s like what they feed people who can’t eat.
What personal targets are everyone setting?
I'm looking at relaxation (a bit) of social distancing for May (including golf course being open), junior cricket being able to start June and being able to go on our holiday in August.
Hopefully kids can go back to school June & July.
Nothing else.
Not arsed if football season re starts.
Not bothered about not being able to go to the pub. Not bothered about things like the gym or eating out.
Just need a few chinks of light at the end of the tunnel

Home schooling for a term/half a term is going to be hard work.
I'm looking forward to going out for a huge meal.
I'd be really pleased, but also really surprised, if any of those things were possible within that timescale. Possibly the holiday in August if it is within the UK.
Will travel insurance cover the cost of cancelled holidays or have they worked out a way to claim that the virus doesn't fall within their policies?
During the ash cloud in 2010 most travel insurance firms initially refused to pay out. We got "lucky" as our trip had already been extended because my son was ill so our claim just rolled over until we could get home.

Immediate target is to get spuds and tomatoes in the ground in April. Already have some broad beans sprouting. Courgettes and French beans - haricot vert - and we'll be laughing. Just watching it all grow will be as good as eating it. Also looking forward to seeing how tall the sunflowers will grow this summer.
I've booked and paid for a trip to Prague in October for the Velka Pardubice, which is basically the Czech Grand National. Fairly optimistic of that going ahead. Spoke to mu mate yesterday, even if the race isn't on, we'll go over anyway.

The tour operators have cancelled their own offerings, so they’re not giving you what you paid for, therefore they should refund. I got my money back no problem, but a mate who was travelling on the same day is having a right battle with the operator he booked through for his family skiing holiday. They’re trying to give him a partial refund or vouchers for the full value, despite them now cancelling the trip.
Not all travel insurance covers cancellation anyway, and there’s usually a prescribed amount of cover you have to set yourself that’s then calculated into the premium. The operator will ask of you’ve got insurance before offering their refund though, the answer should be No.
If we can't go, we'll get money back.
So far only three deposits paid; ferry and two sites.
They'd have to refund if they aren't allowed to open.
If they are allowed to open, we'll go.
I really hope it's sorted by then, not least because my work will pretty much be the last sector to get back to work. We've already had most events cancel up until the end of July and some even cancel August events. The larger ones will almost certainly have involved government advice.
I think it's good to stay optimistic though, tempered with realistic caution to be prepared to deal with things not being best case scenario.
Prague is ****ing ace, you should just make it there in time for the second wave mate
