  1. Factory working practices (in general) and specifically C19 precautions compliance in Leicester is starting to look like it should have had some HSE probing as well K.
  2. On the one hand, a national health service has ensured consistency of approach but national policy and administrative arrangements might be sub-optimal in comparison to regional reactions. It’s a tough one, but (just like budgets) local administration of central policy might have served us better - reaction times would certainly have been better. Westminster should set grand strategic policy with local agencies implementing operational outputs.
  3. All of the above, plus, you have called it a “5 day notice of removal.” The ‘exception’ (to normal application process) applies only to that which might constitute an immediate hazard. That could be less than a whole tree removal eg a hanging branch might be suitable for 5 day exception but whole tree would be normal 8 weeks. Also, if deemed of such a hazard that waiting 5 days is not appropriate, you could do the (immediately necessary) work without any delay. The onus of proof that it was so dangerous as to warrant immediate action would be for you to prove though.
  4. I think I can (fairly) safely speak on behalf of both me'sel and the boiled one in this regard: You'd have to go some to cause offence to either Mr P! Weme 'not of the later generation' ?
  5. Is that a Northern lads joke the Southern softies don't "get?" What is the copper pan angle?
  6. You guys...... ???
  7. I’ve considered having a buzz all over but concerned people might mistake me for a right wing thug.... ?
  8. I know what you mean mate. Im not overly bovvereded about pub but I want a haircut! Had a shorty just before lock-down but it’s longer than living memory now! That said, I’m not rushing back first day the barber opens. I’ll wait and see how it all pans out first.
  9. A virus transmitted by human movements and the focus is upon opening ‘travel corridors’ so that people can get to Magaloof for fish & chips and Watneys Red Barrel. Who in their right mind would even contemplate foreign holiday travel at the moment?
  10. It’s an illustration of just how shite our system of government actually is. Tories are in charge (they’ll get the shit for what’s wrong) but can’t see any other outfit having done it any better (or much worse for that matter.) Some truly staggering oafishness being reported today, exampled: You can get married but must wash hands after exchanging rings - who dreams this rubbish up? Wash hands then consummate the marriage. What’s the point and who, exactly is going to ‘police’ it? The ‘government’ will issue fines for children not going back to school in Sept. Did the education secretary not understand the current law of school attendance and the actual process for parental fines for persistent absence? I could go on, like you say Leicester, only enforceable in part.... All this has done is to reinforce the potential benefits of anarchy - laws, guidance, advice from central government buffoons is becoming increasingly laughable and ridiculous.
  11. Started a lengthy post, then deleted it all. Get set up for yourself then come back re-read your infantile BS.
  12. And no Corbyn - what a shallow pool that turned out to be....
  13. Your 3 examples are equally foolhardy ??er. The key difference between 2 of your examples and the 3rd is that it’d be a fair bet that 2 WON’T result in riot, destruction and extreme lawlessness. The 3rd, inevitably, DOES. I’ll leave you to put the pieces in the appropriate places.
  14. WTF is a quenn???
  15. It sounds ‘complicated’ but it also sounds like you’ve got a tree cutter rather than someone that can present you with a clear and efficient process.
  16. Just change “baby” for “Bailey” and we’ll make a Tory of you yet me lad...... (I can ‘see you’ spitting your beer out as I write ?)
  17. That would seem to make sense. Bit of a pickle all round. I wonder if the situation has arisen from inadequacies in the original submission or if it was LA generated - or a combo.
  18. Or, in current speak, what’s good for the welder is good for the gobshite! It has been amusing listening to all the commentary and sanctimonious justifications for the lad from Burnley infamy getting the sack in the AM, followed by a round of outraged cries of injustice and grandstanding By the same / similar cohort in the PM when the tables turned. Apart from 1 being aerial and the other being digital, there’s not much between the examples. As for mitigating factors, one was a young private individual expressing a view, the other was a member of the shadow cabinet, an erstwhile potential leader of HM’s opposition - potentially, (nah, never happen) PM - redistributing unfounded allegations of nation state liability for the murder of a foreign national. One loses their job and likely faces a very uncertain future, the other gets a sideways move. Is it any wonder politicians are getting such a bad press. (OK, for balance, Jenrick appears to be on a dodgy wicket too but I haven’t seen his 1 hr explanation from yesterday yet so I’ll keep the powder dry on that one for the time being) Plus state of emergency on the South coast and riots in Brixton last night - Brexit seems such a dull and distant subject now)
  19. I bet you were (maybe still are?) singing it in your head though K..... Id go ½ a bet you belted it out loud too ?
  20. You’re a strange one. I re-used your reference to curate’s egg (in the correct context) and YOU have to google its meaning. I have struggled to understand your posts of late, either you’re at some sort of Ninja warrior grade of obscure sarcasm or you’ve been at the rum ration. Keep up the good work ?
  21. No curate’s egg with Wrong Bailey, rotten to the core. Ingested a small amount of H2O whilst laughing....
  22. “...Bye, bye (Long) Bailey, bye bye...” Hoisted by her own petard.... Moral hypocrisy will do that.... If it’s good for a welder from Burnley, it’s good for an MP. Maybe she should be booted out completely, I bet she laughed at the Burnley boy losing his job. How’d ya like them onions....
  23. Don’t panic ??er...... There’s no mistaking you ??
