Universities are being asked to organise 'staggered return home' for students. I don't even know what that means. There will certainly be more administratve work. In my teaching division our admin staff are great. In dentistry (I do a bit of teaching for them) it is chaotic. They have already...

Cheers, BF. My son moved out under a cloud some years ago (all lovely again, now) but I have had an extension built in the interim so it would be do-able if he loses his job to move back in for the duration, but hopefully (etc etc). He works for a law firm that manages house sale legals so all...

This. I have been consistent since it looked like it had 'gone', in early summer: let most people go back to normal and shield the old and immunocompromised. And yet I am not sure anywhere in the world is doing this, are they? China? Why not? It deals with health and the economy in a way the...

I am a university lecturerer in London. My college is hell bent on getting students back on campus. They are all back in London (apart from some sensible ones who saw some small print that asked them if they wanted to come in and said 'you're OK, mate, I'll work online'). I won't go into details...
