Not so sure. I have family in Ayrshire who have an appointment today and apparently there are a lot of people in the village in the same position.

Thing is P&B is a good place to sound off, get stuff out of your system, have a rant or a moan, I don't mind it if it's genuine.

Rather on here than taking it out on their family members ears.

There will be some on here who are on their own and badly missing the pre lockdown days when they could socialise.

Nearly everyone's lives on hold, frustration.

I get all that but some on here are only interested in their own situation, don't like it when others offer a different view.

I have spoiled ballots in the past so aye that's an option too.

Ditto.

Crackpots. 

They are Malthusian fruitloops.

Is this a serious post from someone whose stance is quite literally, I don't mind the restrictions so everyone else should suck it up? What a dobber if so.

I'm sure that sounded like a right zinger in your head, but not to be.

I might be wrong, but there's an impression of pent up tension and frustration in your posts. Obviously not about the restrictions but the reactions to them.

[DeeTillEhDeh]

Agree with this.  Voting should be compulsory and the above should be an option.

What if you don't want to choose None of the Above . . .

Disappointed to find out I'm not a "Main Player"...

You, like I, are as beige as they come.

52k [emoji382] yesterday and really low case numbers as well. 
Can almost taste a real pint. 

That's excellent vaccine numbers.

Good news elsewhere as well.

Hospital cases - 1729 - down 65
ICU cases - 117 - down 6
Daily positive tests - 895 - 5.9% of those tested

Hospital and ICU cases heading in the right direction - a wee bump up in the daily positive test numbers and % - hopefully it's just a blip.

'No plans' to introduce vaccine passport

Na***** Zahawi says phase one of the vaccination programme remains the government’s “focus” - targeting nine priority groups - which is what “it will deliver as rapidly as possible by May”.

However, he says for phase two it will go back to the the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) to determine whether frontline workers should then be prioritised for vaccines.

He also says the government is not looking at introducing vaccine passports for several reasons – vaccines are not mandated in the UK, it is not known what impact vaccines have on transmission and it would be “discriminatory”.

“Of course you have the evidence that you have been vaccinated held by your GP and if other countries require you to show proof that is up to those countries," he says.

"We have no plan of introducing a vaccine passport."

'At least it's good to again hear this from the horse's mouth. Granted, these clowns have done U-turn after U-turn, but firing proof of vaccination to enter a public place in the bin, while still being able to obtain proof from your GP if it is an entry requirement to another country, is the sensible option to take."

Have you seen anything about getting proof of vaccination?

The only thing I've seen are the scammers providing fake certificates.

Have you seen anything about getting proof of vaccination?

The only thing I've seen are the scammers providing fake certificates.

It's unbelievable that a UK Govt official is seriously suggesting just go to your GP for a letter that will be accepted by a Czech or Turkish border official.

I'm fairly certain there will be a vaccine passport, probably in electronic form.
