Definitely had a short game of golf though the day before the club shut down. Definitely walked the road to and from Westerwood Hotel two days ago. Definitely went down to the retail park today and did a thirty minute walk around the loch before doing some shopping. I assume if you have a problem with this, you’ll detail exactly why, given the only time I wasn’t 2m away from someone was at the M&S till today while carrying out a cashless transaction. Why are you getting defensive? I haven't had a go at you with those posts. I'm saying that we are tracking similar numbers to Italy at the same stage and criticising the holistic UK government response. If you need to justify yourself playing golf or wandering about a retail park then you do what you have to do. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy was the same where about 90% of the cases were confined to one region. I can’t really see Scotland being hit too hard, the majority of us up here seem to be taking the whole thing more seriously and we’re naturally a lot more spread out up here than they are down there. Or we are a few weeks behind London. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my experience working in an local accounts practice the majority of sole traders and small companies make losses or very small profits. Still no confirmation that I can see if it’s going to be based on gross or net profit but I’d imagine it’s net, which would leave the majority of sole traders with no an awful lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossDee01 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Or we are a few weeks behind London. Are we? We’re not cramming into tubes like they are down there so it’s not much of a comparison. I live near a railway and from what I’ve seen, the majority of trains have been virtually empty. Busses likewise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need to justify yourself playing golf or wandering about a retail park then you do what you have to do. I’m only defensive with you, given the shite you post, specifically the ones aimed square at my choices a few days ago. Now we have ‘Wandering about a retail park’. Erm, no. I shopped at the retail park, but walked around an almost deserted nearby loch. I encountered one dog walker. You can read that a post or two back. ‘Wandered around a retail park’. Have a word.

I'll still be crossing my fingers until then, 4000 deaths or less by next Wednesday will be good, up near 6000 and I'll be behind the couch. Definitely, just have to look at the US who looked like theyd even out twice but then rocketed back up again. As I say though, I'm trying to be optimistic. I don't think we've been nearly as bad as other countries in responding to this tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a doom merchant but I have taken to using big numbers to people I knew weren't giving this the respect it deserves, I did get through due to best case numbers still being frightening when you projected a fortnight forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather applaud the efforts of those in the nhs than shout "we're all fucked" from the rooftops. Anyway, my missus has checked and a few neighbours we know are joining us. The kids are looking forward to it as well, so we'll see if any other c**t joins in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
