The majority of large businesses which were open yesterday are still open today, the trains are slightly quieter but the streets are much the same as people are still going out shopping etc. Ok, the Golf courses are closed (Boo !!) and people are maybe not going to congregate the same, however other than this I'm not seeing a huge difference at all. That's because all the f****** golfers are out walking the streets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame they butchered that course from the original layout though. The new holes they added are utter shit. Ruined the place. Anyway.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philpy Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Back at work tomorrow. Deliveries only to see how demand goes, then either skeleton staff or complete closure. Absolutely fucking ridiculous.

Gove said stay open, Sturgeon said close. My colleagues in England say 90% of their factories supplying sites are staying open. Up here, 90% of mine are closed or closing. The exception was one who stayed open and got a visit from the police this morning: "Why are you open? Why are all these people in the factory? What do you think you're doing?" "Government said building sites to stay open" Cop slowly looks around factory and says "Does this look like a fucking building site to you? Get it shut, NOW" (direct quote) This is quite surprising. I would have thought the polis would only be doing this if the government had ordered all non-essential work to stop and non-essential workplaces to close. Which AFAIK they haven't (although I may just have missed this announcement, things are happening pretty quickly).

Plenty of them will enjoy their jobs and will want to carry on. Nobody who doesn't spend all day actively having sewage poured into their brain actually believes these people even constitute a notable minority. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
