Even f... wits can understand this if it’s on the tv like a party political broadcast. On all channels at the same time

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

That was what I thought when I saw it!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

In fact will send image and your comments to No10 as so brilliantly put!

Might run for MP after this 😂😂😂parliament won’t know what’s hit them🤪

I wish people could understand this better! It needs putting up as great big posters everywhere.

All these people flocking to the beaches, queuing up for fish and chips, motoring to their second homes in the countryside where there are no medical services and only small local shops.....or apparently going to remote Scottish Islands!

[Pippy25 in reply to oldtimer]

That's right oldtimer I heard on the news people are taking off to the east coast around the Bridlington side and treating it as if this were a holiday as some are using their holiday homes/ statics to take a break. They were saying that this will only put a strain on the NHS in other areas and that people moving around the country will only spread this virus quicker. Saw on the TV in Australia they had to close Bondi beech as everyone was flocking there for a bit of sun and sea. This is not a holiday or break away, some people need to realise it is serious don't they and if they don't think they will get it then if they have no regard for other people in general perhaps they should think of their husband, wife, partner, son, daughter, mother, father that they are close to and wake up as this is reality. Hope you are as ok as can be? Take care x

I think we had a splurge of traffic in Norfolk of holiday places starting to be used.I appreciate holiday places tryign to get any business BUT this is not the time to fill up with non locals! I would prefer if they gave the places to homeless.

[Pippy25 in reply to Hidden]

Yes no one seems to be thinking of homeless people.

A friend sent this to me on FB, before I forward (anything like this) I fact check - Signer Lab is based out of the Moores Cancer Center at the University of California San Diego

But something like this is needed to get people to understand going to beach or holiday places does not mean social distancing it means staying home and going out when needed to shops or for a walk etc.

Suggest you send it to Jeremy Corbyn he has just stated on television that yes he is over 70 but he is still going to appear in Parliament.

Stated he hadn’t shaken hands with the interviewer as if “that’s alright then”.

In that case I guess maybe I can still go to Aldi If I promise not to shake hands with the cashier?

[Hidden in reply to AgedCrone]

It drives me mad - I nearly had a melt down at my boss this week when he said centre closed but members can come in as open space. I pointed out they come thro building speak and be near my team and how can he protect them. He just felt they were going outside to reserve so be fine. Thankfully HQ shut the centre yesterday.

[Pippy25 in reply to Hidden]

The National Trust have had to have a rethink about only people walking in the grounds and have now closed as I understand.

[Hidden in reply to Pippy25]

All people will d o is go to places that are open as people think if open deemed safe. It is taking everything back to basics. Stay home be with your family and do card games tv and gardening. Simple life for 14weeks!

[Pippy25 in reply to Hidden]

I've got a few packs of seeds I bought last year when my dad was alive and I had planned to do this with him but sadly wasn't able to. So it will give me joy in my heart to sow these in his memory, will give me fresh air and hopefully some flowers, a bit of veg and I'm pushing my luck here some strawberries. My mum would be smiling as she was the one with green fingers and her daughter had a lot to learn!! So now I will

[Braecoon in reply to Pippy25]

Good on you. You will reap benefits and have a beautiful garden that you and dad would be proud of. Send us pictures of the growing seedlings and progress and keep positive xx

[Hidden in reply to Pippy25]

Just been out doing some gardening hubby was doing a very large amount of mowing and I did leaf blowing and weed spraying - got tired quickly though so just sat in the sun.

Get those seeds in the ground Pippy as they will make you smile when they start peaking thro the soil!

Unfortunately many people still don't take it seriously. Thank you for the picture.
