JamesP_81 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Anyone else been receiving this sort of letter just incase we go into full lockdown? Been told to take it with me at all times. Just came on here to say I've just been issued with pretty much the same letter from my work, carry at all times to be presented on request etc... More restrictions incoming?Also, this clap for the NHS thing can GTF, social media attention seeking pish. It was nice when it appeared on the news as a wee spontaneous show of solidarity thing happening in the Italian streets, has since been copied by folk that are probably raging they didn't think of it first and is now going to become a 'thing' that folk will feel compelled to do in times of crisis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the current situation has taught us that It's not acceptable for an essential business to only function well 'under normal circumstances' and to make an arse of things when demand increases. They should be resilient enough to deal with exceptional circumstances as well, which means that their beloved, profit-maximising 'just in time' supply chain system has to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkmenbashi Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 We are doing the clap for our medical workers thing here in Belgium. Also someone on my street feels the need to play really loud music from his/her balcony for 30 minutes alongside the clapping. It gets tiresome really quickly 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Now I went to Mark's and Spencer's in st Andrew's after work at 5pm last night.Awesome.No gadgies bulk buying cos it's too expensive.No old people cos there not allowed out.Only about 10 customers in shop o reckon.Meal deals £12 main, side , pudding and vino absolutely shelves creaking. Ready meals reduced to clear and freezable by the many. Wife will survive me by 4 days as I dont like pancetta carbonara and I got 4 at 60% discount. Only problem in meal deal I did not want to rake about for biggest chickens, steaks. Btw dont tell anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't on Monday, however the past few days have seen the trains really empty and also are running additional carriages so that nobody is sitting next to each other. My train home last night at 5.05pm had 8 carriages and only half a dozen people or so were in each carriage. Any Buses I've noticed also appear to be virtually empty, so it looks like most who are still at work are driving, since they've done away with the parking charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 So p&b is not on favour of the clap thing?I reckon we'll do it. Wee moments like this are good for the solidarity of streets and communities and i genuinely believe the nhs needs as much attention and gratitude as it can get.And yes i know they need ppe and decent long term funding, and better pay deals much more than some random clapping - and i know that this is pretty much all birthday caird pish - but it's a very small and easy thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next door neighbours are both Nurses and I'd think they'd appreciate a bottle of wine (as Tynie says) or a box of chocolates or even just a genuine and sincere acknowledgement of the good job they're doing as opposed to this cringeworthy Z list celebrity backed, American type bollocks. (Just my opinion of course and each to their own). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 To show my appreciation for the NHS, having already been out for my exercise walk / shop today, I am refraining from opening my door and standing clapping in the freezing cold wind which is whipping down from the arctic. I am thereby reducing both my risk of catching a cold, and breaking the rules on going out. Gary Tank Commander stamped my wrist at the shops today to indicate I’d been out. The stamp said ‘O2 Academy no re-admission without stamp’, but the government just aren’t getting the right equipment to the front line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to show support everyone donate £1 via justgiving. That's 60m. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
