    You've got a point tbf Fordy. The government should be doing more.

    For example, I've just cut my grass - are garden waste collections still taking place? Are they classed as critical or not? Where do it put it?

    My daughters international school trip takes place in June - the last installment is due just after Easter. Do I pay it? Is it still going ahead? If I don't pay it, does she lose her space?

    Similarly, school attendance - will the official figures be marked down during the period of school closures?

    NOTHING has been said about any of this. Am I supposed to figure this stuff out on my own? Is that the governments answer? For me to think for myself?

    I suggest you move to a better area. Me & @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler have no problem with our waste collections or pay your council tax.

    Pay for what you get! Look at Borris now! 1st in line for an antibody.

    No mate, DVLA have made that clear. You get fined and then if your car needs taxing then you get clamped.

    Point is things like this and council tax etc should have been frozen if you're serious about keeping people inidoors.

    I love you even though you're a northern blue.

    Trust is I like none of them. They're all bloody useless.

    All you do is post negativity and no one needs that right now.
    Put your knives away.
    Stop looking for problems that you cannot solve.

    Go do some volunteering for the NHS if you are that concerned about society right now.

    @Fordy117@Fordy117 There might be a job going soon for somebody with your organisational, motivational and visionary skills. The PM has contracted coronavirus and is now in self-isolation. He might well be looking for a replacement PM. Time to dust off your cv and lead our country out of this crisis. Our country needs you!

    Boris Johnson now has it, as does the Health Secretary. Other key experts who they've been working with will now have to self isolate.
    They'll all be connected remotely, but it can't be good that the people leading our response can't be in the same room for the next 14 days.

    Cheer up. We all need a bit of light hearted banter right now.

    Glad you're getting involved. Now go to the other thread on the main forum and list your 4 players that tagged you in to.

    You should have had an Email from the council saying they would not be picking them up.

    I'd suggest this trumps anything the DVLA says, do you have a link as I've looked on the DVLA site and cant find anything with regards this present situation ?.

    Mate I can read: from the link you posted:

    The DfT says legislation will be introduced on March 30 and will come into immediate effect for the beenfit of all road users.

    However, they conform drivers will still need to get their vehicle tested until the new regulations come into effect next week.

    The DfT also confrmed the agency is working with insurance providers and the police to ensure those unable to attend an appointment because they are self-isolating are not unfairly punished.

    I don't think you've grasped what antibodies are. If the PM and Hancock have been infected by the virus, they'll already have thousands of antibodies circulating in their bodies.

    If you don't follow this, have a word with your mum and dad who with their medical backgrounds should be able to explain it to you more thoroughly.
