Erm, I don’t know if you’ve been paying attention to the news but it’s government advice that to test to see if you are fit to drive you should embark on a lengthy drive first

QED
Cheesy

Anecdotally, but doing things like trying to use a different device or resetting your browser has been found to mean people have got different results when applying for a test
Did they get the people who did iFollow to design the test booking app? That would explain a lot...

It’s very anecdotal evidence that I’ve seen on twitter and reddit. There may not be too much to it

Can confirm. I couldn't get through on my laptop or phone, but my wife did.

Didn't really want to have to get it done, but better be safe than sorry and all that. All of us in the house have had a bit of a sore throat in the past week, but the eldest had a temperature too. It's a symptom, so best get checked.

Didn't seem that busy. Test was complete and in and out of the CG car park in under 10 minutes, nice straightforward process with clear instructions. Did one myself too so my daughter felt more at ease.

Now just the wait for the results.

Hope you little un is alright Sam.

As for the testing it does seem to be rather shambolic, we can get tests here but we have to drive to Preston but even that isn't 75 miles away and we are in the sticks.

When we had all the ball ache with the wives tests I had a long chat with my mate who is a pharmacist in the NHS (he can prescribe as well so he is basically a doctor), he was saying that if you don't get tested within 48 hours of first symptoms its hardly worth testing, likewise he warned that if you think its a shit show now just wait till they combine this testing with the strain the flue vaccinations is going to cause.

Telegraph reporting ministers are considering a ‘national curfew’

Yeah, good luck with that one

Any attempt to implement any form of lockdown again won’t be taken seriously.

Afraid we will just have to learn to live with this thing until a vaccine is found

It actually isn't really, just seems to be being reported dreadfully. The 'rules' haven't actually changed I think, the only change is that inspector knacker can now fine you if you exceed 6, which they previously couldn't if the group was less than 30.

^this. I can’t imagine there are too many instances where two households totalled 30 people anyway

It’s an anti-house party rule

But you can go to a pub with more than 6 people and many more households? And school, and work, and the shops.

Although it was too complex for Matt Hancock on radio 4 this morning. He insisted the rules were "super simple, I can describe them in one sentence" and then proceeded to do so and get them wrong (he only listed school, work and special life events as exemptions, missing out organised sports events). Which is quite important if you are involved in organised sports events. Or a Health Secretary trying to insist the rules are "super simple"
