    Obviously the airline industry is in a bit of shit at the minute, and a lot of people rely on it for jobs..But, Richard Branson asking for handouts sticks in the craw a little bit.

    It’s actually quite refreshing watching the news and there’s folk on who actually know what they’re talking about without some gobshite giving some ‘alternative’ view.

    Also, like it or not, and I didn’t think it would happen or thought it was a good idea a week ago. If this pans out the way it’s predicted. Brexit talks will be delayed, and the transition period will be extended.

    Just back from walking (because I have legs) up to Idle for some cat litter, car park full at 10, totally blocked when I left, loads waiting outside the door of Aldi & BHS, I watched the lardy arsed fatsos buying piles of useless crap to stuff in their SUV's and felt sick, one bloke intent on taking all the wood fire blocks and bollocks to everybody else, many were of the same mindset, wouldn't mind the virus taking them all out.

    Once Education can achieved/delivered at arms length, then the need for as many teachers could dramatically reduce. Just think of the end of the ‘school run’, less Co2 being put into the atmosphere. Large numbers of school buildings could be sold off for ‘Gated Community’ developments. School holidays could be reduced to 6 weeks a year. No classroom management issues to deal with. Less children having school related health issues for the school to deal with. Utopian solution for some! ;)

    Thats the problem isn’t it? Why do they have to buy it in such bulk. An extra pack of this here and there but not this ridiculous nuclear bunker style shopping list they seem to go in with.

    You’re right, just nipped out to my local Tesco for some stuff for tea, queuing out of the car park, luckily I’d walked up..Blitz spirit alive and well.

    School isn’t just about learning your times tables and the battle of Hastings though, is it?

    Be careful out there, don't willingly put yourself in real danger by walking in long grass in shorts.

    90 % of the worlds population is self centred and thick as fook. Without the intelligent 10% the human race would die off.

    We're survivalist. That's how we've prospered for so long. We've found that working together is mutually beneficial. That's society.

    The minute something upsets the status quo though the survivalist instinct kicks in. Can't blame people too much for acting on instinct especially when they're not getting advice from above.

    If the authorities had advised people sensibly to meal plan for a possible 7-10 day isolation period then they'd have some advice to follow. As it is we see worldwide reports of empty shelves and talk of 16 week curfews etc so people are bound to panic a bit.

    Information is critical.

    It will be nice to do an input uninterrupted for once.

    Your tongue is in cheek but I bet there are people out there who would think that.

    You spotted the ‘tongue in cheek’! ;) TBF these are uncharted times and the world may never be quite the same. It is going to be an interesting period in the history of mankind.
