Indeed and in practice very English in most of my behaviours, except food and cooking. A friend who also has one Italian parent is the opposite, very Italian and temperamental but oddly doesn't cook! .

Wrong, ANPR signal cars without insurance to the police. And the number plate gives traceability. .

Our flats letterboxes never see sunshine since they are within the external hallway, keeping viruses cosy. .

And that would mean registration and number plates for all bicycles to allow enforcement, and that is never going to happen. .

But he has to handle the letter box flaps that other posties have handled or someone's coughed and spluttered over. Once again an example of why containment won't work. .

This illustrates the failings in the real world that I was discussing with Danidl. The driver comes to non self isolating people in my block of flats, using the outside handle of the hall doorway with his bare hands to enter, then when leaving the inside door handle as well. Those door handles...

No, Dyson make their stuff in China and the like, JCB is one of the very few UK companies who actually make anything here. .

It illustrates the paucity of successful UK manufacturing firms to choose from. .

I don't drink any alcohol. Most of those drinks I regard as disgusting and don't understand why they are liked. .

I had in mind the daughter in her 20s and 30s whose nappy I've changed decades ago! Even we single blokes can be family men! .

:D. Yes, I see that in the London Irish extended family I'm friends with. Even the daughters can be pretty ferocious! .

But I do with my fiercely independent nature and would find it embarrassing over such a long period. And as I've shown unnecessary. If the advance buying of basics is confined to the small minority in a similar position, the amounts won't in any way trouble the supply chain. I woudn't even...

That's our best performance in modern times. On most things, like roads and railways for example, we are usually decades behind them. .

Indeed, but one notable nearby exception, Beko large scale manufacturing in Turkey. However I don't think President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is well disposed to Europe right now, though our exiting the EU might have just have pleased him. .

I suspect they are deliberately holding back stock rather than rationing customers. My very large Sainsburys was also stripped bare Friday afternoon and Saturday but magically had many things back in stock this morning. Only for a while though since they were packed with customers stripping...

You have my sincere sympathies OG. Many's the times in my older years in coming across such circumstances that I've been thankful that I chose to remain resolutely single. .

That is my aim, but it presented me with a quandary since I have no nearby relatives to supply me and asking neighbours to do so for four months is far too great an imposition to request it. So I would have to go out to shop from time to time. But of course with the virus infection spreading...

With only 5 millions in that vast area they are all already in self isolation by our southern standards! .

This actually happened in the 1970s in my block of flats, Normally it wouldn't have happened since we were all friends, but one owner in his late 60s had told us that he'd bought a run down cottage in his native Scotland and would be away shortly for some while working on it. So when he wasn't...

Did you even read my post? How does swabbing a floor with bleach deal with the external door handle that I quoted the driver has to use to enter the hall to the flats front doors. How can the driver keep himself uncontaminated while keeping his glove exterior uncontaminated so his electronic...
