I went to Tesco's in Liden and got some milk and the last chunk of cheese they had. Items I needed. Apart from that they had very little. No bread, fresh veg/fruit or eggs etc. I'm not even trying now for at least a week. Oh I got 48 cans of Carling premier from lawns offy yesterday for £10.99 for 24 cans if anyone's interested. Best before date end of the month. [/quote is Carling premier the one like Caffreys :hmmm:if so will get some of those as they are Gurt Lush  |

I don't understand how UK theme parks are opening as usual this weekend, nearly all other Countries have shut theirs, seems to be one rule for some

Okay, quiz update - I'm using Skype for this one and will find a better platform if it works and we decide to do any more.
It will start from just before 8pm UK time this evening, with the first questions 10-15 minutes later once we've all settled down. There are 30 questions so I'd expect it to take a bit over an hour to complete. It's all self marking and scores and marking are on trust. Teams of friends/family behind one screen are totally fine by me, obviously I'm inviting a bunch of people I know from work and other walks of life so I can't promise a full round on Swindon Town. But we are tangentially mentioned...
PM me for the invite link (there's a limit of 50 on the group so don't want to just post it publicly for now)

Will probably follow on from Wales and Scotland in shutting all schools from Friday.
Who knows, there are rumours knocking around up here (source - someone's missus who works in NHS management) that the lock down could be from this evening? |

104 dead now in the UK, up from 71 the day before. That's an increase of 45% in one day.
If the total figure doesn't scare you --- the percentage increase should.

I'm inclined to agree, it would be mental to announce closing schools at 5pm the day before. |

The Lombardy region seems to have hit a point where they can't guarantee attending to any more new cases! Just in-case anyone was left wondering why the "over reaction" from countries a couple of weeks behind the Italian outbreak.
NY is trying to obtain 50k new hospital beds, almost doubling it's capacity.

I've been sent home from work as of tonight as i have asthma, as soon as they have a laptop for me i'll be working from home, got to sit and wait for the phone call to go and pick it up in the meantime.
I had my car in for a service at a local small garage today, the owner told me the government have offered a cash grant of £3,000 to help them through the crisis, and he told me that's about 1 1/2 weeks of turnover, so not going to be much use to them if people stop using them.
