    Nonsense, that is truly ridiculous. Take flats like mine with an external hall door handle to many flats which he has to use, so the glove would get contaminated unless he removed it with each of such common deliveries. The same goes for the many speakerphone access buttons and the microphone...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Hopeless though, a sanitiser wipe doesn't compare with a thorough hand wash which is the minimum necessary. And in any case these drivers are very pushed to do this large number of drops in a day so haven't the time for such niceties. My drop number 122 was at the end of the afternoon and he...

    Herd Immunity won't work for all the reasons given. But nor will Containment which is no longer possible in today's UK. Global research from Episerver, which surveyed more than 4,500 shoppers, found that 38% of UK consumers buy online at least once a week, more than any other world region...

    Anything to oblige OG. Consider this. At the start of the year in which we intend to Brexit with harmful effects and following a long period of world economic malaise including a Chinese downturn, a mysterious virus, Covid-19, appears in China. It obediently stays on the sidelines here in...

    False crossbar for carrying e.bikes on a bike carrier

    I was proposing a strap or rope going under the bike or from low down on the bike frame and up to the crossbar attachment point, thus taking much of the weight from the false crossbar attachment ends. Then the 15 kg crossbar would easily be adequate, especially if the bikes batteries are...

    False crossbar for carrying e.bikes on a bike carrier

    They are likely to have at least a third safety factor, but with each bike 24.3 kg it's still too much. However if you took off the batteries and put them inside the van you'd be getting closer. Perhaps then adding a safety rope or strap as additional security you could rig a safe solution to...

    As an aside, most older people will have a radio of some sort so they can use those excellent news sources. There is no radio licence of course, named the Wireless Licence, it was abolished many years ago. That free listening even includes the BBC i-player for listening outside of scheduled...

    Second reply, all happening now just as I thought. Local and mayoral elections in England will be postponed for a year to May 2021 due to the coronavirus outbreak. All league football games cancelled, London Marathon deferred to October, St Patrick's Day Parade and Festival cancelled...

    That's my 88 year old brother in Dorset, my 71 year old sister in Bulgaria or my 81 year old sister in Pennsylvania then. I'm in South London! If I get infected guess I'll just have to take a cue from the lepers of old and wander down to the pharmacist ringing a handbell and calling out...

    How do we get the pills though, infect the doctor, infect the pharmacist? And if it's by self diagnosis and request, I can see the pills running out as all our hypochondriacs jump in just in case. .

    I agree but think the government will announce more measures next week as it dawns how much others are doing. Boris said he'll lead on this issue so he'll have to get going quickly now! Anyway we usually follow the USA and they'll encourage that with their visitor door still open to us. .
