Still do think a sausage, pickle and cheese wrapped in a pitta sounds pretty good though. Better than Pangolin penis. I've been all over the soup maker the past few days, broccoli soup being my favourite so far! That and the slow cooker will keep us going! I'll keep you posted on any further pitta experiments... ... but I must have missed the Pangolin thing, so I won't ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Hope this works but appears to be most recent guidance on the businesses that must close. This contradicts what Sturgeon said at lunch time today that for example building sites should close, but aligns to the Andy Burnham tweet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TVeebMbsu0VQ3ow-i10_Rrxky3Tdgbhd/view?usp=drivesdk Edited March 24, 2020 by DETTY29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel-J Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The only good thing about this pandemic is that while we're staying home, the land is recovering. The virus is weak, but it's contagious. So stay home and work remotely if possible. It's a good thing my organization understands this situation and has moved everyone to work remotely.

Aye, so has mine. Trouble being, it's now discovered that its backbone ICT can't handle the volume; it simply wasn't designed for the numbers now (trying) to access it. Oh dear. Environmentally, the earth's lungs will certainly be breathing easier. On the downside, that won't help the millions who've been laid-off and are trying to put food on the table.

It will either work when it's not too busy or it won't. It will then immediately come back as soon as demand on bandwidth reduces. Pretty much exactly like if Kickback gets too much traffic. There's plenty bandwidth out there for everyone across the different suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gashauskis9 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Must admit, at first I thought “****, this is actually happening”, but having slept on it I realise that this isn’t a lockdown at all. Still so many loopholes for the morons to take the piss with. The threat of dispersing groups of more than two with a £30 fine won’t cut it. The arseholes will see it as game of hide and seek. It’ll be like watching a Benny Hill episode. I’ll give it a week and we’ll be on Italy style house arrest. Sad state to be in as a country if we think this is infringing our freedoms.

Funny enough I became an essential worker last night too. We've got 7 in this morning with no customers and the ones that do come in will probably not be able to pay the bills in 30/60 days time.

jamb0_1874 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The problems with making a half arsed statement is the big grey areas that are created by the lack of clarity. For example Michael Gove talking about construction saying some can and should go ahead, which then impacts the supply chain for these companies also. Does that mean that they have to be working to support these companies. Its all a bit of a mess really and needs some clarity urgently.
