If we’re going to avoid people being in too much contact delivery is the way to go. Just hope people can calm down enough to give them the time to make this work. This nation does have some serious fucking attitude issues to address once all this is done.

[Link] crust, that really will tip the nation over the edge.....

Hey, Boris, no need for that new runway at Heathrow now...or the new HS train set. Put the billions saved into NHS immediately, now there's a novel idea.

Things break, it isn't all vanity purchases. If it keeps a few more earning then that is good. You can manage social distancing in those warehouses and through the delivery chain. Yes Amazon are 'bad' but they are no badder this week than a month ago.

REPD - Perfect Privacy. Not cheap but one of the very few that doesn't leak your IPV4 or IPV6 address. Lots of servers to connect to including 4 in the US. You can also connection hop and random exit address. oh - and no logs - ever.

I suspect people will be looking for exercise equipment, maybe a treadmill to store their 500 toilet rolls and 2 years supply of food as it rots and other people cross infect trying to get basic stuff for a few days.

Slow - that’s true I guess. However, can’t people just wait a few weeks or a couple of months to get their next pair of trainers or multipack of those tiny little socks?

Ta, chaps

Kentish think this is it [Link]

Link is here [Link]

Do you have a link, StuD?

Don't forget if you are bored we have Mark Robinson on our live show starting in 8 mins at 5:30pm.

The NEC will be next, it seems. This isn’t like the Blitz, it’s enemy occupation.

STTA, it was floated yesterday that it would be military staffing excel.

FFS, this disgusting tory twat is my, and RK and others, local police and crime commissioner. [Link]

a4e - I would think if delivery services remain available people are less likely to go out.

They were talking about that yesterday evening Kentish. Hope it's not being staffed by some of the 250k volunteers.

Blimey. Absolutely fucking massive hospital to be installed at the Excel Centre

Can anyone explain why running these stores like Sports Direct online is still ok? Surely there are still employees required to run these stores, travelling to their place of work (helping to crowd public transport when there are NHS staff on board), moving about the warehouses to pick and pack the orders, loading delivery vans, moving from region to region (potentially spreading the virus to customers when they deliver), etc - and all to line the pockets of a multimillionaire in a seriously non-essential business....?

Yorkshire police are saying the landlords will have their licences taken away. I suspect that being a landlord who has had his licence revoked for that would rather damage their prospect of applying for one anywhere else in the future.

Pubs having lock-ins should have their license taken away for two years, and should not be eligible to apply for the loss of business support offered by the govt last week.

Slow - indeed, lots of mowers today (including mine!), probably because the weekend will be much cooler, so it was a great day to get the first spring cut done. Meadow, that’s awful - hope your colleagues are ok, and that you’ve got a good team spirit going amongst your staff. Always remember, these sorts of people are (hopefully) the exception, not the rule.

87 deaths overnight. :-0

StuartD - make sure you thank Mark for the voluntary work he is doing.

Racially abused? Banned? Should be arrested.
