Coronavirus - Keeping it light :-)

[littlespark]

When did the convo about BLM turn into an advert for B&M?

I’m back from my little road trip up to aviemore... face coverings when needed...
took a 3hr trip over to Aberdeen to see eldest daughter and “boyfriend” ....

I understand that during the Covid lockdown if visitors or relatives turn up unexpectedly the police can insist they leave.

Is this a free service or do you have to pay.

Just interested to know what people think of this 5 day relaxation over Christmas.
I see the reasoning.... getting families together for one time of the year when it’s supposed to be all about family.

But it’s pointless, and is going to send the infection rates sky high again.

it’s like, as soon as there’s a whiff of a vaccine, let’s all just go back to normal.

One of my daughters came home from school and asked what about people that don’t celebrate Christmas? Can they take a different 5 days for their own celebrations?

on the bright side. no contact with family members that you can't stand, no screaming kids upsetting your after dinner intake of booze and a sleep, low volume of traffic on the roads, so you can get to a job quickly. what's the downside?

Lockdown down January 2021 here we come...

Trouble is the government can't win whatever they do. Too many people moaning regardless.

Boris is in a totally no-win situation... if he continues the lockdown (which isn't really a lockdown at all) he'll be slagged off by half the country for not allowing us to have a Christmas... and if he lifts the lockdown, he'll be slagged off by the other half of the country who believe all the nonsense statistics !

errr... No. We are a Christian country that celebrates Christmas every year... if you don't wish to partake (as I don't), that's up to you.

Like it or not, there are many non Christians in the uk, and the government has to cater for all.

This is a keep it light thread chaps, let's not get political and spoil it.

Helping my daughter with some homework this evening.

“A car is travelling at an average speed of 48 mph. How far will the train travel in 15 minutes?”

Teachers nowadays.

The train will probably still be in the station, so it's better to take the car...

 

[littlespark]

Unless the car is being pushed by the train, at 88mph and the year is 1885.

“Great Scott!”

 

[Zerax]

Hang on... is this the same say as a national rail strike ?
