Working From Home

It was difficult at first, but saving loads on diesel..

It's not easy being a fork truck driver these days.

certainly not from home

You're qualified to knock up a few ventilators pecker,knock me up a couple...

Apparently the ventilator on its own is of no use(irish health)without i think is the machine which allows you to set the ventilator, i haven't heard those tories mention this, do they know, you would assume so...

Not many working on here I'm afraid - at home or otherwise

Yep the ones retired with all the capital but they want the skint plebs to go to work and their kids to go to school and do as i say,they must be seething..about time things started to change..

Aye, plenty of Champagne socialists on here. They are the worst, even my labour voting workmates hate em.

I used to pick peas when we were borasic  - hang on  - it is only march errrrrrrrrrrrrr  gulp!!

See,didn't take long..predictable.

I spent 2 years out east with local girlfriends and families  - wasn't a problem

and didn't even get the HK flu in 68 when I was there but it was all over  europe  etc

you need to understand the value of international RELATIONSHIPS  and understanding the culture you are living in

wonderful countries and cultures

Giggilo will be "working" from home.

I can work at home any day honey

Slowly slowly...

doesn't effect me but must be leaving millions of people fuming,listening/watching well of middle class people working from home /.saying kids in another room downloading learning apps onto laptops,computer,s etc,, its no problem, when for millions their living in 1,2,rooms, beds up and down etc,only going to widen education in this country between have and have nots, good excuse for toby young,cummings and co to engineer their eugenics theories

blackcabs revenue down 75%

turn the clock back 4/5 months to when universal,credit was delayed because benefits office couldn't cope wonder how 2,3,4,5, million enquiries is going to go in next few months,year,
utility companies,transport etc will end up been nationalised if this beyond 4 months,will they ever return in to private hands, people saying Corbyn couldn't physically do it 3 months ago,wasnt possible even if desirable,now going to happen on a far greater than even Corbyn dreamt,for whatever reason

Another day done. No kids here, I live alone by choice. Everyone pretty cheery considered, but it's only day 4.

job centres closed for 3 months all benefits paid automatically, last post nap landed, any new claims online good luck with that anyone,

There's going to be thousands upon thousands of public sector workers on full pay at home doing nothing for months. Not really sustainable. The BBC lot are going to miss their free copies of the grauniad though.

The government will be recruiting more police to deal with domestics, probably end up sending the army in.

We've had Johnson on tv giving a demonstration of how to wash your hands.
Surely it is now time for him to give a demonstration of how to wipe your @rse.

Problem is, like using a mop, he's probably never done it before

The knock on effects are crazy. So no parking revenue for councils for example. At least I've had by council tax bill for next year.

Perhaps not, but he was able to hand Corbyn's own on a plate.

that's what happens when doris gets bored annexing the EU,IRELAND,eventually Scotland and now London,

that can't be allowed to continue surely ? ...with self employed carpet fitters  , unpaid laid off  workers all  struggling ?  there will be riots at this rate

Nobody is going to book annual leave either lol

And what's it all for? The virus will still run its course.

We're only prolonging the crisis until enough of us get it and get over it.

A developed, free country in 2020 just doesn't have the political stomach to willingly sacrifice tens of thousands of its most vulnerable citizens for the greater good.

Many might perish anyway, but they have to been seen to try. It's clear that the analysis is that if left alone, it will essentially wipe out the health system.

It's not really being seen to try it's to try and optimise the infection rate so that the NHS isn't overloaded but not keep the country like a failing prison camp for a few years. It's going to happen so manage it best you can. It's not difficult to understand, though many can't seem to. Unfortunately (and I'm not aiming this at you cider as you get it) there seems to be a lot of thick people or people with their own personal hate ridden agendas who don't seem to grasp this.

The analogy is a bit like the chap in 127 Hours. Cut your arm off with a pen knife to survive. Most people couldn't do that, and would prefer to wait for help in the hope of divine intervention.

There's no easy answer, I just find the moaners and those with absolutely ridiculous expectations of what the government can do about this, those that are entirely incapable of thinking for themselves, extremely irksome.

It's clear that the analysis is that if left alone, it will essentially wipe out the health system.

No that's not clear at all. How did we get on in 1968 when we were in the same situation?

But of course, that was without the hysterics from the media, hyping everybody up every time we tuned in.

Throughout those press conferences, not one 'journalist' has the common decency to even acknowledge the hard work of the experts and the PM, and the stress they must be working under. Essentially, the weight of the nation, but prefer to get their political digs in.

I think this pretty much nails working from home:
