    Lock Down?

    kung flu
  3. She got caught out a few time then changed here story. Shows shes a tory sympathizer
  4. Could of done lockdown a week earlier same as every other place in EU apart from UK, instead of the talk about herd immunity which made some people people think there were doing there duty but going out spreading it. (This strat was then modelled as taking 2 yrs to acheive and leading to over 1/2 million deaths by first yr, by imperial college: after that came out goverment changed their policy) Could of closed caravan parks as that would have stopped 100,000's of people travelling around the country. (Other countries like Italy had the exact same issues but UK gov didn't learn from that) Advise could be less vague and confused about what essentail work is etc who lockdown covers. They edited the bullet points from 1hr to the next relaxing the lockdown. Could have better support for Self employeed e.g a small basic universal payment just to cover food. Could try and enforce lock down better disperse crowds etc.
  5. With everyone off work and home there gonna be a rush on shopping for materials for DIY projects: unintended cosequences not good if scewfix and B&Q etc if rammed full with people etc ?
  6. Will the agri suppliers stay open? Animals need feeding so im thinking yes.....

    Lock Down?

    Mr miggins is going to get angry/stressed when so tell her you can't turn up so her lawn ain't gonna be regulary scalped and bushes aren't trimmed, but scalping lawns isn't an essential activity surely? Alot of new "corona meadows"? Neither is most tree work essential either apart from road side, train and power line work maybe? Alot of dying ash everywhere....
  8. A chest freezer is good as long as the lecky says on that it. Still have loads of Broad beans and fruit in freezer from last yr.
  9. Local council has just closed many of the public spaces; parks and beach car parks etc after they had record hoards of vistors over the weekend from all the second homes &caravan parks. Cavaran parks all full & record numbers of people out and about.
  10. Seems odd that they don't realize what land its theres, are they still claiming it is there land ? Maybe there just trying it on, Ive known farmers to do that here as being asked to do work a couple time then found out/being told that they don't own actually own the land! ? (or land is disputed between neigbours)

    Lock Down?

    Bit of a last minute U-turn coming on lockdown policy? New data, new policy: why UK's coronavirus strategy changed | World news | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM New quarantine and social distancing ‘suppression’ measures are based on modelling by Imperial College to move beyond... Sounds like have just realized the rapid herd immunity idea was abit bonkers....
  22. Did you get the 15t or 20t version wedge? Wondering how much difference an extra 5t makes as just says ones for meduim tree and one is for large trees... Which dolmar is that?
  23. Any link to a reference for this? ?
  24. I can't see that it matters when, so any time i reckon, unless there might be nesting birds......
  25. How about a load old fashioned style wooden fruit boxes maybe have a deposit on to stop people nicking them.... Not sure on how the kindling machine would fill them though.
