What is most annoying is the prospect of loosing out on work too others who are just carrying on regardless, & from what iv'e read this lockdown may be carrying on in some form for up to 2yrs.

 

 

 

 

Two years!, if this goes on much longer than these 3 week...

Working as a team of two, 4 days this week.
I have a bottle of vanilla scented alcohol and tissues ready to wipe any surfaces such as the krab, pulley I send to the climber and my gloves (List is not exhaustive) 
The chipper and truck are my domain.
The climber has his own transport.
He climbs on srt so it takes a minute or less to ascend a tree so coming down to fill his own saw isn't an issue.
I sent up the Longboy after drenching it in alcohol.
The rope is a vector, not just for Covid-19 but typhoid, cholera, norovirus and toxoplasmosis but it's handled with gloves which are regularly drenched in alcohol.
Climber normally looks like a homeless guy in a harness but when I pointed out this virus has boosted his personal appearance and hygiene somewhat, he replied that he was back with his girlfriend.
Today he pushed the chipper twice, I wiped down those surfaces.
If this continues, I might even be tempted to polish the thing.
This morning, an elderly 'bourgeoisie' couple stopped on the footpath and had a go at the climber for working.
His reply was along the lines of "You have a fat retirement, I only have todays wage"
He's not lying, I'm his only employeur in this current situation and his van is trapped in a garage awaiting a new injector system.
Thursday and Friday for another local commune (council)
Police permission granted to work on the roadside.
I'm hoping to unscrew some new road signs and do a couple of cheeky fells.
Week after I'm hoping to get on with prioritising the jobs that might get cancelled or trimmed down if delayed longer. 
 I'm keen not to lose a centime now because I see a future of austerity ahead.

From Farage to the Guardian, now there's a unlikely alliance of consensus:

 

UK coronavirus lockdown: police reissued with guidance on enforcement | World news | The Guardian

New guidance aims to quell heavy-handed enforcement and bring consistency across forces

I'm not clever enough to copy this but I'm sure one of you is. Kind of confusing..
