Re: Coronavirus run outs
It might be coincidental, but it does look bad. They was a delivery driver on the radio this morning, he was saying he sees a lot of lycra clad cyclists riding close together in groups. Some people are starting to ignore the rules.
I cycled to work today to give advice to patients over the phone. I couldn't take the Seven, because my policy doesn't cover commuting

Re: Coronavirus run outs
Yeh, clocked a group of bikers on sports bikes the other weekend. Just to clarify, this was early Sunday morning speeding through the village in the direction of the coast before the shops open. I don’t loose any sleep over it though, not worth it. At best they are selfish rsoles, worse case scenario, throw themselves down the road and end up in hospital, catch covid..etc etc. No sympathy regardless.
I just concentrate on doing my bit, going to work, shopping if I have to and minimising contact with the stupid people. Sounds just like a normal day

Wish I could "minimise contact with the stupid people" on a normal day

Not Saying I’m any good at it Duncan
Had a couple of stupids in the building at work the other day, which is a clinical area, the sort of stupid that want you to know they are there, loud brash and intrusive. A colleague commented about the levels of testosterone around at the time. I went and challenged them as no one had let them in. They were from estates and showed me their ID’s, one commenting that he was well known to the police. Deadpan I said “Is that a joke” and turned and walked away before he responded. Made me feel better but the pair of stupids probably didn’t get it..

Been out in the kit a few times, always essential trips. Screwfix, etc and delivering home grown veg to keyworkers. No trip was further than 15 miles from home though.

Re: Coronavirus run outs
Seems we are reaching the invincible stage - "I've not got it so far so I'll be OK now" mentality, seems more people, cars etc are around now, plus the 'stupids' are being influenced from across the pond demanding their 'freedom'!
Need to be careful though, read locally about 2 lads walking together and getting a roasting from everyone they passed for not being 2m but they were housemates! first impressions and all ...
Just hope the 'stupids' can keep themselves to themselves, not burden others and prove Darwin was right!!

Re: Coronavirus run outs
Starting to lose my rag with the 'corvidiots', flying visit to local Tesco today, lots of signs and floor markings and some tw#t shoves past me with a few beers and not much else. I'm afraid I shouted something along the lines of "2 metres" and he went back past me and joined the back of the 2m spaced queue Didn't see him again 'til at the checkout when he brushed past me on his rush to the checkout. I shall be taking a 2m broom handle with a steak knife lashed to the end next time I have to go to the shops

Re: Coronavirus run outs
well either the broom handle with knife attached Tony, or maybe just wear a hula hoop?
I had to go to deliver paperwork to the accountant earlier - i kind of misunderstood the message that VAT could be delayed this quarter, and had wrongly assumed that meant filing the return - ooops!
anyway, aside from way more cars on the roads than i'd have expected i did a double take as i drove past a hand car wash....which actually had a few cars waiting. And then another chuckle ( well more a shake of the head) as i drove past a burger van with a load of people milling around for their grub.
