I'm very sorry to hear that @Arnie Pye. We live in the suburbs of Liverpool. No farm shops here either. Across the Mersey on The Wirral it's different (My dear now dead Mother in Law in West Kirby used to visit Farm Shops some years ago). Just was trying to make the suggestion that sometimes...

I'm back home in Liverpool now. Missing my views of Snowdon! We knew our butcher did home deliveries, but OH used to pop in when he did a Sainsbury's shop on Thursday/Friday/Saturday mornings so he could get something to roast on Sunday and other meat to eat in the week. Never used their...

Just a quick warning about using meths... It's very poisonous, don't ever use it directly on food. It's fine on door handles and car handles and stuff like that. It's possibly OK on totally enclosed food wraps, but you need to be absolutely certain that there's no breaks in the wrapping...

links to sign don't work any more.

Report her to the police. They have power to stop this now. Especially if she has a party at weekend. Gawd, some idiots really do think they are above the law.

They are crazy. That bird has flown.

I've signed up, but don't know if I'll be able to do it all. Probably not! It definitely sounds interesting though.

I agree, but I don't think it's going to happen.

I'm 71 and OH is 74. We're hoping to ride this out at the caravan (prob better change my location to Wales for a while! :rofl:). We have lots of food stashed (from Brexit buying that we replenish as we go). OH will be able to keep going for walks (assuming he remains healthy) which will keep him...

What I don't understand is why they aren't testing people with the symptoms - they will never have accurate numbers if they don't do that.

Health expert brands UK's coronavirus response 'pathetic' Ministers ‘behaving like 19th-century colonialists playing a five-day game of cricket’, says Prof John Ashton https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/12/health-expert-brands-uks-coronavirus-response-pathetic

article from The Lancet is here.

Coronavirus hits ill and disabled people hardest, so why is society writing us off? By Frances Ryan Oh, and to really cheer everyone up, according to The Grauniad NHS 111 has been giving wrong advice.

They usually just happen in my experience. I spent about 3 days on my own at the caravan one year without power, so glad we had our own gas supply! I had my lovely summer cat, dear Ginger Biscuit, to keep me company though, which made it very much more bearable. :) At least I could boil a kettle...

Thought people might find this article from the Grauniad of interest.

My GPs use these people for contacting them, plus requesting refills for meds. I thought their advice seems relatively OK for people in UK. Might be useful for others too if you disregard the telephone numbers quoted...

Sheesh, so now the b*****s are attacking stroke patients? I particularly liked :rolleyes: this: And followed immediately by this: Yeah well, you've been diagnosed with having a stroke, just get over yerself and get on with your life there's nothing wrong with you but a bit of anxiety and...

They still haven't taken into account possible faecal-oral or nasal route via aerosol from toilet flushing. Put your loo lids down before flushing (as discussed on the other coronavirus thread). Which is why we don't have soft close lids on our loos - they take forever to close.

Hmm, I wonder why that might be? :rolleyes: Possibly the clue is in the word "recover"? :rolleyes: But no, obviously I'm wrong and catastrophising...
