With Vans (I thought the same btw) I wonder how many are self employed?

I've finished a list of jobs I had in an empty student house so now the misses wants me to build a built in wardrobe and tile the kitchen floor of the flat we dont own..

Oh. Now I feel old! I am 53 but had contented myself that with your username, you must be at least 80!

Lol it's been my email for many years mate and in effect I am what you could say an old boy/old kid!!

Really noticed the roads getting quite busy again. Outside my house on Brighton Rd, what was down to about one car every couple of mins and emergency vehicles has now returned to steady stream of cars and vans.
The same road on my home in the morning is back to almost normal traffic on weekdays.

People are getting complacent and this is going to lead to a second wave of infection, I reckon .

I'm probably mis-reading this, but if things have 'returned' to what they were, this is alarming. It also conflicts with my experience -- things are extremely quiet up here in Hanover, barring the increased number of ambulances coming down the hill :sad:, but also on the three or four occasions I go out each week that's also the case -- but, far more importantly, the AA have said things have picked up this week, but only by about 10% (which, obviously, follows on from a severe plummet).

I can see the schools going back well before a vaccine. September at the latest with probably some attempt at socially distanced schooling after may half term

Schools are likely going back early June according to a friend who is a deputy head.

May 18th likely to see relaxing of a lot of the current rules (but with social distancing) according to my info from govt through work.

This is what I have heard as well. I am sure it is to allow for provisional planning. And when one says 'schools are going back' I do not believe it will be in any shape or form, in the same way as before.

The construction at the university on Lewes Road restarts on Monday.

I live on Brighton Road, so it’s the main road from West to East Sussex along the coast. It’s not back to normal but yeah, it’s absolutely getting busier.
I doubt you’re gonna see much traffic in Hanover at any time. Unless I’m mistaken, it’s not really a route that is used to anywhere really is it?

It's a date I had in mind purely based on guesswork. I'm imagining the schools have a lot to do to make that date work and I cant imagine itll be full schools or classes at that point

Lovely, that’s my birthday.

I would think 1st June might see a big shift in a lot of things, mostly because it's a Monday and starting things on a Monday tends to focus minds a bit more.

Looks like Priti Patel is going to say how very, very naughty people have been and put her really angry face on later when she says it too, not the nice little smirk one she normally has.

Well, it's a route out of Brighton, heading towards Woodingdean, so whaddya think

Dunno, don’t know Hanover or Woodingdean that well. Highly doubt it sees as much traffic as Brighton Rd.

Anyway, you’re getting bogged down, Brighton Road has got markedly busier over the last week.

I have general quite supportive of those in government so far. Really tough job at the moment for anyone what ever your colours.

But then they wheeled this vile cow! Priti Patel is a classic example of somebody who went into politics for all the wrong reasons...

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Today we have a party political broadcast by the Home Office. Wtf

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

So how many people are dying from non covid illnesses by not going to hospital if they feel the need to remind people they can go?

Stuck up bitch

I get that more tests being done each day but I am flabbergasted that the new infection rate hasn't dropped significantly after a month or so of lockdown.., I was hoping it'll drop down to under 2000 by now

 

[Is it PotG?]

Maybe just me but I get the feeling that the medical bods aren't as excited about the graph trend right now as they were a week or so back.
