Obviously not you.......

on a serious note, I just work a couple of days a week now... weirdly doing the job I wanted to do when I was in my 20s..... driving a bus.... anyway the company has furloughed 80% of people at my depot.... with more to follow this week...... the company itself is haemorrhaging £11million a week at present.... we’re just driving around in empty buses....

Well have to say I’ve changed my views....... I think the major problem we’ve all got.... is that many of the countries that have this virus.... don’t have either the medical expertise or equipment to deal with this.....And certain countries have sanctions imposed by the US.... so it will never be eradicated unless the US changes...

Hi Andy, don’t know why you didn’t put a link on here to it.... I got to it from your Twitter account.... anyway not sure if it differs if your looking at the site with a normal computer screen, but I’m using an iPad and the add to cart box is up and down all over the place.... Other than that, I think someone like Steve can give better advice......

Probably the longest running thread on here..... still not smoking myself..... was thinking the other day, that due to the current climate with this Coronavirus..... it might be a good idea to ban all smoking and vaping... in any public place with immediate affect...

I like to do my best, love to get things down to the nitty gritty...... I was going to say at least this gets us away from the humdrum topic of locks.......... But talking about lockdowns and lockouts will just encourage it....

Never dismiss the blinking obvious....... once the government started flying people home from China the virus was coming to the UK first class...... the probability is, is that it was already here anyway..... but the government escalated the situation by bringing in more carriers....  would love to know how they came to the figure of two weeks quarantine ensures there’s no risk to others...

I would imagine that most small businesses that are run from home...... will not get a single penny......  Where’s all the money going to come from to pay for all this compensation? How long is this crisis going to be 1 month ? 2 months ? 6 or 18 months? At what point should the government stop bailing businesses out? There has to be limits, otherwise everyone becomes an overnight high flying  international businessman....... and whacks in a claim for compensation....... usually when a government offers free cash... scammers are not far behind.... But any compensation will never be indefinite.... I only work 2 to 3 days a week now, having taken early retirement........ and already they’re talking about laying people off at the national bus company I work for......... even though up to last week they were still advertising nationwide for drivers..

Hmmm, 3 people have died......... so people go panic shopping and the stock markets crash..... well it is that time of year when above average deaths are recorded..... I think it’s a flap over nothing....... like going back to the 70s nuclear bomb warfare....... people start panicking digging bunkers in the back gardens and filling them with 10 years worth of tins of baked beans and toilet rolls....... no hand sanitizers in those days.... 

It’s my understanding we will always have to live under any current EU laws........ But the unelected bureaucratic body will not be able to dictate to us anymore red tape and legislation........ which has to be a good thing... just waiting for my nice new blue passport to arrive now....

I’m a bit miffed as to why this site has become an attractive place for locksmiths....  I’m even more confused as to how a locksmith can afford 1 square foot of rental income of 33 Queens Gate Gdns........
