Lock Down?

[otter]

Yep looks like it.  

I'm just going to stop working until I'm told it's all OK. 

No point 3 tree surgeons working in someone's back garden removing Mrs Jones cypress tree.   Not really essential at the moment.

I assume majority of tree work counts as non essential so does that mean no work for 3 weeks?

It depends on what tree work it is I suppose and is it urgent/tree safety etc.

I am felling a coup of chestnut for a new pheasant pen, poults are due and it has to be completed before the start of the bird breeding season, so I will be cracking on, but I am I am only working with one guy in isolation with no public access.

We can still work as far as I can make out.

I've got jobs booked in and I'm going to work tomorrow. I'm self employed, don't need to mix with anyone apart from my subbie. 

Does you subbie live with you?

Maybe you should just do as your told? 

I was a little confused, it says essential work or if you cannot work from home, I work alone, and can call customer from outside when/ if I arrive. The pm didn't use the word lockdown.

Is trying to find loop-holes in this the best solution?

Not at all. Just don't think the wording was particularly good, lockdown should have been the word used

Essential work... I’m assuming felling chestnut doesn’t count? Seriously though guys.... is it meant travel to work is ok if you can’t work from home....or is it essential work as in doctoring and the like...?

My subbie makes his own way to work in a seperate vehicle. We social distance.

Travelling to and from work, but only where this is absolutely necessary. 

 

If you have to travel to work, it seems to heavily indicate when the job is absolutely necessary.  Be it NHS, Fire Servies, Police, Tree Surgeon going out to fell a tree away to fall in on a house etc. 

 

Not to make a few quid.
