He’s not listening.... ?

A light news day locally:

Buggered you may well be - just to set an example to the masses! JC1.mov

? What? You mean all this time and energy is just being wasted?? ? The more rules that are put in place, the more reasons people have to find a means of circumventing them to personal advantage. I think I'm turning into an anarchist....

There's a big shake up a-coming I hope too. Chap on wireless this morning thought big airline adjustments / losses would be seen in the business sector with scheduled flights going off a cliff and it may only be saved by leisure / pleasure flights of the holiday / tourism sector. I would think there are quite a lot of people enjoying the newly freshened air they are breathing but are they sensible enough to realise it is, in very large part, their own activities that will take us back to higher levels of pollution. Tough call for the masses - like the classic, "I love trees, but could you cut that one down for me", how many of the fat, sun burned, drunken, glutinous masses will be willing to forego their own cheap all inclusive package deals to Marmaris? "I love the environment, but all the Watneys Red Barrel and fish and chips I can eat, including flights and accom for £500/week - it's a deal, it's a steal, it's sale of the fucking century!"

With the exception of schools, the supposed ‘easing’ measures are nothing more than has actually been in place all along - it’s just that media misreported/sensationalised/perpetuated the general hysteria and police attempts at over stretching their authority are starting to bite home and people are finally starting to realise what has always been the case: Work from home if possible, travel to work and implement PHE guidelines where reasonably practicable.

Replying to what? There was no question... You expressed a personal concern, how would that obligate me to a reply?

You danced around the point quite nicely. There is no blanket ‘ban’ as you called it irt what is burned. There are ‘clean air zones’ where some regulation is in force and there are accredited schemes with detailed criterion for product. That’s some world away from the ‘banning’ of ANYTHING! Also, where are your stat’s that compare narrow boat wood fuel emissions with sea freight, aviation and road transport? ?

They haven’t banned it. If you want to be an accredited supplier, you have to comply. That’s a long way off ‘banning’ something.

Be easier if that fecker would clear his van out ????

What? The slate is wiped clean after 5?? What about Blair? What about Thatcher? What about Stalin? What about Hitler? What about Empire?

Well, for 1, I’d find it hard to believe anyone would seriously compare wood burning stoves in canal boats to vehicle and aircraft air pollution....

You’ve opened up the narrow boat angle now.... Standby! @eggsarascal

Ideal! Give 'em a wipe and I'll take them home wi me....

Passes by where? You're up Norf, I ain't going there!!

Poor people should be confined to home, or a the very least restricted to occasional public transport. How are the privileged elite supposed to go about their daily business in an appropriate and efficient manner if the roads are all clogged up with the great unwashed?

Same here, our local tool shop does a pretty good job of price matching small machinery purchases. Having had trouble with deliveries in the past, having it delivered to the shop, unboxed, set up and a call when ready to collect (plus after sales if required) is well worth the couple of £s difference from spending hours online trying to shave £10 off the price.

Airlines appearing to be pulling out of Gatwick. All this talk of ‘support’ to the industry to see it through Brexit and COVID How much is the potentially redundant (before it starts) Heathrow expansion...?

He’s got cabin fever! Everything getting a bit sensitive ???

Legend!! ????

Interesting, bit long winded and majority negative. I wouldn’t mind if some of my consumer surplus data exhaust was used to lower my motor insurance! They know how far I travel, what speed and the manner of my driving - maybe I should demand a reduction. But if all the sensible drivers demanded a reduction, the premiums for the careless ones would become (even more) unaffordable and I’m sure someone, somewhere, would then claim this is an ‘unfair’ additional burden on those least able to pay resulting in an even more unbalanced society. Heaven forbid those that actually cause motor insurance* rates to be so high actually modify their own behaviour and accept responsibility for their own actions. * insert any service/commodity

It’s a ‘town’ solution potentially being imposed on a vastly differing national problem. I can easily go weeks/months without 15m proximity to strangers! On that basis, they can bash it, not interested.

What makes you think you haven’t already been chipped?
