    On a plus note the roads were empty and a joy to be driving on, silver linings and all that.

    Funnily enough, I thought the opposite. I was surprised how busy the roads have been this week. Either most people in our area are still working, or they are driving up and down looking for loo rolls and Calpol

    Well the list of key workers has finally been released and it is a lot wider than first rumoured.

    can imagine there will be a lot of upset kids today when they find out they are at school next week

    Begs the question, whats the point in closing. I work in the financial sector so collesgues were surprised to learn our profession is classed as key worker. However, we are so busy there is unlimited overtime available at the moment

    Ive just driven to town from Queensbury and back in less time than it would take to drive one way at the same time a few weeks back. Its a strange, almost apocalyptic feeling when everywhere is dead.

    I must stress not to panic buy, is helps no one. Panic buying causes more problems. For example.

    You're right about areas like supermarkets, absolutely heaving. Doesn't surprise me though most people are like sheep and need to be led throughout life for their own safety.

    Tim Martin - prize dickhead who should be denied treatment (or made to pay a sizeable fee) if he falls ill.

    Cannon Mills on a Sunday m8. Funny I've seen people posting videos of toilet roll sales at Cannon Mills as some way to deride people bulk buying when in truth its gone on there for years. Another example of feckwits using social media for other motives.

    Agree Idle but today was a lot busier
    25 mins from Brighouse to central Bradford
    Earlier this week was only taking 15 mins
    An upside to all the uncertainty

    Seen a few pictures of empty supermarket beer aisles with just the Corona beer left behind. Are people actually that thick?
