Yes, I was on this Calshot Spit light vessel watching her sail out: Chased by:

Not necessarily so, I practice the separation indicated by the other person. If they stop short by two metres, I do too. If they don't bother with separation, neither do I. That appears to be a common practice to me. Ergo, each practices what is decided by the person most scared of the...

It's even worse than that, I've just been listening to an explanation of the law on some of the details. A tier 1 resident can legally visit a tier 2 resident in their home, but not the reverse !!!! Apparently the virus can only travel one way. .

Barry, the restrictions are all stupid, take Tier 2 for example. According to that I can't now go to visit a friend in Inner London who has invited me because it's two households mixing. But I can call there, ring his bell so he can come out and join me for us to visit a pub, shop or anywhere...

No tears here, I will still be living with no change as ever, leaving the rest of the country to their fictions, like the count going up everywhere. No it hasn't, mine has stayed stubbornly at zero, as it has for all the many I know and have contact with around here in London, Surrey and Kent...

So far for Denmark. Look at all the other false dawns so far before counting chickens. And no-one knows the outcome and who is right until the end of the pandemic, least of all the scientists on their performance so far. .

She's another dumb one, not realising that for every country it's a balance of lives against eventual economic cost, she's only thinking about deaths. Every country chooses how many die, Sweden has made its choice and the UK is no exemplar in this respect. .

In fact I only unplugged it from charging yesterday so they can't have any. Perhaps it was charging mine that led to the shortage. .

Social distancing par excellence. .

Pig farming? In England we eat turkeys at Christmas. .

Of course I'm sticking to it. I don't buy newspapers, I nod off to sleep during the news and I don't have a smartphone so no App either. So in Jim Callaghan's immortal words: "Crisis? What crisis?" .

You're still panicking about nothing on the basis of deliberately skewed map data, just over 45 in 100,000 in our affected areas down here. So one in 2000. There are some 6000 in my modern estate and from simple observation there's far more than 3 on their last legs and likely to expire at...

That last sentence with a typo was almost: That shows that herd immunity as a tragedy won't work. :) .

It's the same way he messed up London when he was Mayor, appointing his past friends and acquaintances, rather than people who knew what they were doing. And just as in London, the consequences become more obvious with time. Eventually he'll run away from the mess he's created while still...

No, I actually did mean sensible. We know enougn now to know that it is highly contagious and it constantly mutates. Ergo, an effective vaccine against it is unlikely and delivered to the whole world population even more unlikely, and the infection will eventually reach everyone, everywhere...

Indeed, we made the sensible choice. .

The people of Peckham have always been renowned for their good judgment and commonsense. That's why "Only Fools and Horses" was set there, ,

As said, that is not our way. We are not Orientals. .

That's not how we do things. Our way is that the local police form a team to take on these players in a friendly match, all done in the name of good community relations. .

Known it for ages and it's one of the reasons I bought mine over two years ago at 82 years old with the intention of keeping it indefinitely or as long as I'm able to drive safely. They are not only ultimately cheaper for many, they are superior in so many ways, clean, silent, nicer to drive...
