    My mrs is losing it too. She has a few medical professionals in her family and let me tell you the info from them indicates the problem is a lot worse than the government make out. I saw Putin gave the Russian public a choice. 15 days indoors or 5 years in prison. I bet they're not down the pub!

  3. Telling people to social distance themselves is like telling people not to panic buy.

    I think the people that are panic buying are doing so because they are scared, I understand people are scared not thinking straight and I can forgive that tbh,but anyone that is profiteering from this or Taking advantage of vulnerable people I have a real problem with tbh , I heard today that people have been spitting at the emergency services, they are the ones trying to help us all and this is how they are treated, I see a lot of positive things too though our village seems to be pulling together really well and helping one another out and lots of good is happening too so there is hope Agree stay safe all

    We've seen the worst in human nature with the denial and panic buying, it's time for the good to show now. Everyone is pulling together and doing their bit in whatever way. I consider myself very fortunate to still have some freedom and the ability to take my son to the park, without getting close to anyone. My thoughts are with those who are suffering around the world and the amazing people who continuously provide care and support for those less fortunate among us. Be strong and please be safe lads and lasses!

  6. Stay safe mate, and look after yourself and yours I was fine til I got to work today now I am a mess my anxiety is also raised now, too many people aren't following the guidelines seeking hero points for being a rebel getting right on my ninnies tbh, I agree but to be bought on by this virus isn't right that's not when your number should be up, however this thing started, we will probably never find out for sure, but something more sinister wouldn't surprise me, but we shall see, let's hope it does change for the better but I can't help thinking we shall lose more good than bad in this one

  8. Hello Yonny I have been told that the packaging was due to come from China , so now it's delayed . Apparently the bags the freezer bait are sold in breathe , and therefore would not be suitable for shelfies . Maybe you need another bait freezer if your Wife and little Lad keep insisting on eating , not that there's much food left in the supermarkets ! . 😃

    I meant that I sound like a tree hugger with my statement mate. Whilst I don't wish ill to anyone. The only sure thing about life, is that, we all have an end date. I hope to see human nature change for the better on the other side of this🤞🤞

    That's fine as long as its not one of your own in the high risk camp, so while you might be fine the people around you spread it too might lose someone they care about I take it you mean me to go hug a tree?

    I think it is too, I am trying to stay positive but they need to be firm on the rules of what is acceptable and what isn't, there isn't any sanitiser at work and by the time you have left the toilet after washing your hands to get back to your work area you will have already touched 5 doors and then I will have to use a shared computer but this is acceptable 🤔 Have you read the pangolin theory on how it started? https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucelee/2020/02/11/did-pangolins-play-a-role-in-the-new-coronavirus-outbreak/

    I do think people need to start Taking it more seriously tbh my wife is at work now and so stressed about it she is having panic attacks because people are just ignoring all guidelines, they need to statt making the tough calls on work now otherwise it's going to get really out of control, I saw a thing about the guidelines working from home is safe but nothing about goi g to work and the risks it will cause, which let's be honest are massive if people aren't taking it seriously

  17. Yeah it's a real bummer. I had to buy a few kilos of CC Moore shelfies to tide me over. I HATE having to stray from my normal baits.

  18. I have just returned from my first shopping experience since the lockdown started in France. I thought you guys in UK might like to know what the rest of Europe is doing and what might be coming your way. First, on the drive to the nearest town I did not pass a single vehicle. It felt very post apocalypse. In town there was a police check. I was a bit nervous because I had a sheet of paper with 6 “attestation de deplacement” (signed declaration of reason for leaving house) printed on both sides of an A4 sheet and was not sure if this would be acceptable. The idea being to sign and date a fresh one and cross out the previously used one. The first thing I noticed was that the police were not wearing masks. I guess being stopped by a heavily armed man in a mask could be seen as a bit disconcerting. I wound down my window to give him my Attestation and Carte de Sejour but was instructed to wind up the window and hold my papers against the glass so he could approach and read them. To my relief, he waved me on with a smile. In the pharmacy there was a table blocking entrance to the main shop. When it was my turn I had to move forward from my marked position and put the prescription on the table and step back. The pharmacist then got my prescription and placed that on the table and stepped back so I could approach and pick it up. Another customer, who had to pay for a purchase was presented with the credit card machine in a plastic bag. At the butchers, there was a marked line away from the counter so you could not just point at what you wanted. Your purchase was then placed on a table away from the serving area. In the supermarket there were hardly any trollies left. I assumed the place must be heaving but inside there were fewer people than normal. They must have taken a lot of trollies out of service to stop too many people visiting at one time. I was able to buy everything I needed. There were one or two gaps but I suspect this was just a shelf refilling problem because there were fewer staff. At the till you had to wait at your marked spot until the previous customer had left. All staff were wearing masks and disposable gloves. It was a sobering experience but at the same time very reassuring that EVERYBODY is taking the situation seriously.

    My misses has just come home from the cheese wholesalers, she isn't very good with weights and stuff tbh but she managed to get quite a lot of frozen pasta I woke up to boxes in the kitchen, but in her defence she has supported a local business who's managed to lose its customer base due to the c bomb virus and would probably be struggling without opening to the public but I did have to give over 5kg of boilies to the local fishing club to make some room but they will give it to some kids so it's fine
