I think you're being very over critical.
Theres absolutely ZERO delivery slots. I waited 4 hours yesterday with Asda and the earliest i could get was the 21st of April.

He probably got his lottery ticket in Sainsburys, got petrol on the way home and then went to the park for fresh air.
All of which, in my eyes, are fine under OUR lockdown rules.

Yours are very very different so until we implement the same as you, people will carry on.

Just because OUR lockdown rules are stronger than yours doesn't mean you guys shouldn't curb your behaviour and take good care of yourselves! I have not been outside of my front door for 13 days. I am climbing the walls but I am happy to do this because I know the sooner everyone plays the game the sooner I get my freedom back!

BTW He didn't get his lottery ticket in Salisbury's as he'd forgotten and so made yet another stop. As I say ..touch touch touch
 
.......the police have just announced on the BBC news that they will be following the” 4 E’s strategy” going forward in dealing with people and their (police) new super powers. None of the E’s evident in the video earlier from Scotland. #peoplepower

Desperate for some advice please. Trying the legal advice lines but been on hold for over an hour.

My partner was made redundant at the start of the month. He started a new job second week of March. They’ve rang today to say they’re letting him go until business picks up again and the job will be waiting there for him but he is technically now unemployed. He doesn’t cover for furlough because he wasn’t on the payroll end of feb. Old employer won’t take him back on. I’m currently on stat mat pay and redundancy package wasn’t a big amount - will cover wages for two months or so.

are we entitled to absolutely anything? I cannot stop crying. Never thought this would effect us. My baby is only 3 months old. I work in the NHS. I’m potentially looking at going back to work a lot earlier than planned which I don’t even want to think about.
Thanks guys.

I know last night on the Martain Lewis money show coronavirus special some one had left a job and was to start a new one and he advised asking the old company to be on the paye so they got paid but you said the old wouldnt ads him back so I'm not sure

No I agree with what you're saying. But your friend didn't go against the rules which we have set currently.
Until that changes, people will carry on without batting an eyelid to what other countries have in place and the reasons why.



Seperate to that....

Theres a word for someone that classes drawing in chalk 'criminal damage'.
I'll use the nicer word of jobsworth for now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t disagree that we need to only leave the house if completely necessary but...

Online shopping is literally IMPOSSIBLE. I tried again today and could only get a slot for the end of April. I needed food ASAP.

As for petrol - I need it personally to drive to get medications, food, etc. It’s not an optional thing for me.

But are you wearing gloves? Are you leaving your shoes outside so to not walk the virus into your home? Are you immediately removing your clothes and putting them in the washing machine? Have you sanitised your car inside and all outside door handles? People are not taking adequate care and precautions.

I understand what you are saying and but people are dying. The UK really doesn't seem to be understanding that. It appears to be very much the 'until it affects me personally, I don't need to change my behaviour' attitude
 
Just took my toddler for a walk to drop my nans shopping (son stayed in the garden) and she’s so worried. My grandad especially about the death toll. made me so sad to have to like let her close the door for me to get near to grab some money 💔
(I also stayed away btw, would not risk her for love nor money)

You need to view the new cases. The death toll is sad, but it is the new cases you need to watch and they have been consistently dropping.

I was under the impression gloves don’t do anything at all?

also, I feel like most of us are doing our best, with the guidelines we have been given. If I put myself into a situation in close people then I will put a top on and take it off (e.g shopping) but obviously we haven’t been informed to do these actions.

Sending you a massive big hug.
I was on a temp contract and it ended in Feb, since then I have claimed job seekers allowance. I had so many interviews the week before this became real. I have not had any response from the interviews I went too. Today was my OH last day working he is self employed. we have savings but there not going to last long. Like you Universal credit we would basically not get enough to buy a Mac Donald's if it was open.
all i can do is send you a massive big hug. X

Ladies, I declare it officially wine time.
Sending you all hugs. XXXX

Even if I wanted to wear gloves I’d never bloody find them here 🙄😂

We’ve been told we can go shopping. And go for exercise. People doing so are doing what the government are allowing.

Most of the UK understand. Frankly I find it a little condescending that you’re insinuating that I don’t just because we don’t wear gloves, wash my clothes every time, etc.

I don’t have time for that. I’d love to take EVERY precaution but I don’t live in a hospital and I don’t have the resources or time to take EVERY precaution possible
