Show your local authority the photo below so they know how it should be done. The road the other side of the wide grass and scrub verge is a dual carriageway, all in the London Borough of Croydon. However we do have our very bad bits too.

Yes, I agree on all points. To pretend that face masks don't help as the government has been doing is ridiculous. For decades the populations of Oriental countries have used simple masks against spreading all the previous virus pandemics and even the common cold, to great effect. It's no...

I forgot to add that I was wearing golf gloves. I don't play golf, but those gloves are made with thin calf leather so with plenty of feel. I had them in my jacket pocket driving to the store, only putting them on after leaving the car and taking them back off before getting into the car...

To a very limited degree, and it's too early yet to be definitive. The social distancing in particular is largely failing, any gain mainly due to lockdown. See my post above. .

Although getting close, Covid-19 hasn't quite reached us, so I decided to check out the supermarket experience with separation, doing a milk and bread top up at the same time. There was the usual separated queue running around much of the large car park, but it moved quickly and was well...

So when queuing with two metre gaps to go into the supermarket, leave six metres if the guy in front is wearing a kilt in case he farts. .

Scary thought, what if Covid-19 adapted to be salt water borne and infecting fish?! Incineration is safest. .

Of course I'd already thought of those, it's what the Americans did in the Iraqi desert with all the enemy bodies. But we don't have lots of convenient space as the increasingly desperate shortage of cemetary space in normal times shows. Once the bodies are in the ground, that land is out of...

Now we aren't driving, perhaps they are thinking of using all that surplus crude oil to incinerate all the bodies. Everyone's been worrying about insufficient hospitals, ventilators, medical staff etc., but what about crematoria, grave diggers, cemetary space and the like? They'll never be...

I think everyone knows they are Definitely Not Reliable. .

I daresay you have a long way round to get there, creep up on it when it's not watching! .

No chance, it's in silent stealth mode. I keep the pedestrian warning sound switched off all the time. I've actually got three different ways to get to my favourite supermarket and country exercise ground: Urban all the way = 5.2 miles 80% country lanes = 4.2 miles 100% country lanes = 6.8...

So much for his defence capabilities! Oh well, I suppose we can surrender to an enemy by waving our white face masks when they eventually appear. .

The sudden rise for Tuesday happens every week and the government are flapping about nothing. Tuesday is a key shopping day every week for the non-working, since Monday is so often an out of stock of items day following the busy weekend shop by those who work. There's also a spill over lesser...

I fully agree, but we are where we are and need to make the best of it, since playing catchup won't be very rewarding, for some while at least. Looking on the bright side, perhaps our even more impoverished country afterwards will finally convince our governments to stop pretending the UK is a...

That's fine, I have nobody dependent on me as you have, so my passing won't affect anyone. The Pedelecs members map won't get updated any more, but I'm sure you'll all manage without that. .

It's not only about money though, there's the shortage of resources which money can't immediately magic up in sufficient quality, such as hospital capacity, ambulances, medical staff, intensive care beds, ventilators, face masks etc. I don't want any of those scarce resources spent on 84 year...

It's important to remember that a vast proportion of shareholding is by ordinary people's pension funds. .

My circumstances are radically different from most of those above since I live just inside the Greater London southern boundary with Surrey and nearby Kent. That means high density housing and the London sprawl extending far beyond its border, so we still get to enjoy queues at traffic lights...

He's breaking articles 3 and 7 of the Peel Principles on police ethics which bind the UK police, so his intentions are dangerous: Police must secure the willing co-operation of the public in voluntary observance of the law to be able to secure and maintain the respect of the public. Police...
