Rev Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Clear as mud. If you can't work from home, go to work tomorrow. What about hairdressers, nail parlours etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967Ram Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Vague, as expected to be fair. Maybe more detail will come out tomorrow in Parliament. Can't really see any reason for the NHS to be removed from the slogan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 He’s not get to get all the details out in 10 mins. We will hear more as we go through tomorrow. To be honest, I don’t think he can do too much more at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well having been locked in for 7 weeks , not earned a bean , listened to guff for that time ( erm yes people do listen when they want to know what’s going on and when/ if they may ever get a life back) I find lots irritating not least today’s offerings from the world of media and politics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Anyone else feel he could of said this last Thursday instead of say ‘oi! You factory workers! You’re back in tomorrow’ only if they’re proved to have taken the correct procedures though. I guess he did lay out the next steps if we all behave ourselves and not break the rules like some of the experts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So go to work if you can't work from home, but try not to use public transport and leave the kids home alone. Do wonder what will happen to social distancing and try not to worry if you get the sack for not turning in! Oh and I've given you no warning so you don't have time to worry! Or think about how to make it work. Obvs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the guidance to employers on safe working should've been published in advance, so they could prepare the workplace best as possible?

What about hairdressers, nail parlours etc? If you can work from home, continue to do so. If you can't work from home, go to work tomorrow... if you can... and avoid public transport (Not sure if that last bit is a request or an order?) If hairdressers can't legally open, then you can't go to work. Barmaids can't go back yet, as pubs can't open.@B4ev6is can't go back to work yet, as cinemas won't be open until July... At the earliest. Muckerette cannot go back, as High Street shops can't re-open until July... At the earliest. I can go back to work... but I can do the majority from home, so will continue to WFH, and pop in to the office as and when I need to (inc a couple of hours tomorrow morning. I've done about 8 hours/3 visits in the office since lockdown began), so no change for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nottingram Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 You know it’s been a good statement when, at 7:30 on a Sunday evening, many hundreds of thousands of people are less clear about their position tomorrow than they were at 6:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no wonder the Government arent comfortable with giving the public responsibility if they cant even apply a bit of common sense to the speech he has just delivered. Were they expecting him to list every business in the country and say when they could re-open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
