My mother has/had her car booked in for tomorrow so I'll at least know whether that particular garage is. I'll post an update sometime in the morning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post an update sometime in the morning. I bought my used car from Ford and in the deal I get MOT guarantee, but given the circumstances I might just have to take it anywhere that’s open. Thanks for the update though. Edited March 23, 2020 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Sports direct have said tonight they intend to keep their stores open because they believe they are “uniquely well placed to help keep the UK as fit and healthy as possible during this crisis” Apparently they think they can do this within the governments social distancing guidelines. They are another Wetherspoons sticking their fingers in their ears. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not what Boris said earlier. Boris was clear that electrical stores will close, which maybe in response to Dixons claiming their business was key. I believe Newark (their main warehouse is closed tomorrow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevo985 Posted March 23, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2020 I've told my team to stay home. Direction from above was people who were meant to be in tomorrow should still come in and they'll decide tomorrow. Pretty much ever manager in unison said "nah **** that" or words to that effect. I feel like a pioneer. A week ago I was moaning to these people telling them they were putting our health at risk and not preparing for the worst. Now they're all catching up. And they're saying how great it is we put our WFH plans in place last week so we were well prepared. yeah you're welcome you bunch of words removed. Welcome to the 21st Century. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Looks like that tweet that Trump retweeted earlier had it right judging by the press conference. Edit: Grauniad live page Quote Major theme of this press conference: Trump wants to get the American economy going again as soon as possible, and is not open to the idea of restrictive public health measures going on for months. Asked what he would do if, a week from now, public health experts asked him to extend public health restrictions, Trump said, “We’ll see what happens.” Later, Trump said that very soon “we’re going to be opening up our country.” Asked by a reporter if that meant “weeks or months,” Trump s aid, “I’m not looking at months, I can tell you right now.” Edited March 23, 2020 by snowychap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Twitter rammed with people writing in something like English about how they’ll still be going out with their mates. Police in London are going to have a great time with these scrotes over the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) surprising amount of things that can currently stay open, Evans cycles are staying open despite having a huge online business & seems that they are perfectly entitled to, In fact so important are they that they make the list twice. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/874732/230320_-_Revised_guidance_note_-_finalVF.pdf Supermarkets and other food shops, health shops, pharmaciesincluding non-dispensing pharmacies, petrol stations, bicycle shops, home and hardware shops,laundrettes and dry cleaners, bicycle shops, garages, car rentals,pet shops, corner shops, newsagents, post offices, and banks Nearly every job on there is minimum wage, with plenty of zero hour contracts thrown in. Who would have thought that the little people are the most important Think boris must have one of these posters on his wall with his exercise/bicycle obsession Edited March 23, 2020 by LakotaDakota 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 3 hours ago, Stevo985 said: News suggesting it won’t be called “lockdown” but will effectively be one. The impression I get is the government seem determined to somehow do this differently to everyone else in the world. Even now they’re probably locking us down, it feels like they want to be able to turn around at the end and say “and we did it without a lockdown!” The impression i got 3 weeks ago is the government wants to save £8 billion in the pension pot with herd immunity!
