I’m a glass half full sort of guy, so let’s look at some positives from a personal perspective, from this lockdown. I realise some are struggling but life will be different after this. 1. Realising what is important and what is not. I used to stress about the wrong stuff. Appreciation of people, who do those jobs that are not glamorous.. 2. Family. probably speaking to them more now than ever. 3. Having time again. 4. Family dinners sitting around a table together and talking. That’s an evening meal to you northern heathens. 5. Community spirit. Strangers nodding or asking if you are okay. An acknowledgment when you give somebody room when strolling. 6. The value of friendship and friends. 7. Talking to and caring for neighbours. 8. Playing games, puzzles or doing quizzes, instead of watching TV. 9. Doing things when I want to and not being a slave to someone else’s timetable. 10.

Eddie Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 6 hours ago, Tamworthram said: I understand your point but how do we overcome the problem? Banning all shopping except for food, medication and cleaning products? At least with the advice 80% won’t go out to just buy something like kitchen paint which is better than potentially 0%. I just thought the original criticism was a tad unfair on “plod” and another chance to have a cheap shot at authority. Order online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably sums up the situation at work. I have also had a couple of pleasant ones with lots of smiley, friendly people. I had a weird one which I struggled to analyse for a while - I actually dreamed that I was a Geordie doing a load of work for Damon Albarn, which set me back a bit because I'm a metalhead and not at all into 'Britpop'. Then I twigged. Blur Jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putney Pies is a place of wonder - as in "I wonder how many of these wonderful pies I can eat and still be able to walk to Craven Cottage?"

A lot of places are cashing in aren’t they? Have you seen the price of weights and fitness machines if you can get them? I would say today was our busiest day since the lockdown started,no idea why.

I thought the only change was allowing people to go and stay with someone else if there had been a relationship breakdown at your normal home (a move no doubt in response to the worrying increase in domestic violence). I don't remember anything else about going to see relatives. I must have missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you are missing is the fact that it’s not up to them to start making up their own guidelines. They cannot invent rules such as: you can buy stuff to mend a fence, but not to paint your kitchen you can’t stand in your own front garden That the Police have a right to decide whether you’re shopping items are essential or non-essential. It’s all baalocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
