Chloroquine is horrific.

There are a couple of threads on this but you're right. Some of them are awful.

You're a very negative person. They're not going to allow people in ahead of the queue without good reason. Just calm down. gromit3:16 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I assume they were vulnerable as they never showed > a nhs pass to shop worker, but they let them in > anyway.

The tories will only ever be going for the money. That is their raison d'?tre.

This would make sense if it weren't for the fact that unless you are very wealthy and have no morals, voting Tory is like shooting yourself in the head. Granted, the alternatives haven't exactly been thrilling lately.

Went straight in the recycling. A ridiculous waste of money at a time like this.

To be fair, it's difficult to discuss a Prime Minister without there being a political angle. I wouldn't wish his predicament on anyone. I just hope that we can turn a corner in the treatment and prevention of Covid-19 for the sake of everyone. dbboy Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I set this up clearly as a NON POLITICAL thread. > > If you which to discuss the election, Brexit or > some other political topic, i.e a new labour > Leader or whatever else politically, go set up a > separate thread.

Hmm. Fresh pasta is wonderful but it's a myth that it's always the best option. Spaghetti, fusilli, macaroni and so on are much better dried. And v hard to find. paulu197 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Fresh pasta is always available(including > spaghetti amd tagliatelle) and the use by date is > beginning of May.

To be fair, they do. Joggers can go to parks and easily avoid people. I'm finding the majority are being good about giving people a wide berth though, it's the ignorant minority that are the problem. Walkers aren't immune to this either by the way. We should all be making every effort to sustain the 2 metre rule. fayebarrett Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- >I have found that walkers > seem to feel they have more claim to the pavement > than joggers.

Just back. Long queue but all quite civilised. Not too badly stocked (although no eggs or flour.) Pretty good stock of fruit and veg. We found the last bottle of hand wash.

All it required was a bit of common sense re the rules on distancing. Many in our street did it from an upstairs window. Those without common sense are probably better off remaining inside though. se22cat Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Personally, I'm incredibly appreciative of the NHS > & it's workers, but there's no way I'd risk my or > my wife's health by doing this it's ridiculously > counter productive.

Are you sure? There's nothing on the web about it and their website says they are still open. Seabag Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I?ve just seen that Chiltern Fire House have > closed up, done, project over. > That is quite a shock, they were well financed. > >

gromit3:16 - your persistent negativity is becoming rather wearing. Please try and be a bit more positive. These are difficult times for everyone and your constant carping is unhelpful. gromit3:16 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > can't believe everyone is so happy to jump on the > cashless society. where the government can track > your every movement and know what your spending > your money on. > > I use cash everywhere as it is safer. > It's too easy to lose track of how much money you > have when using cards. > > and I noticed young people don't value money > anymore because they always use cards.

I'm freelance in the TV and film industry. I have an office and 2 full time employees. I had work lined up for the year and as of this week all work (and payment) has ceased. Until this is over I will have no income at all. So I will have to give notice on my office at the end of the month. I will try and stretch funds to pay my staff for as long as I can but that won't last long. It's ruinous for many in my industry.

I'm not sure that there is any scientific basis in this! ianr Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > A thought that struck me a few days ago after > getting a noseful of cigarette smoke walking > along LL -- exhaled smoke of any sort would > presumably be an excellent vector for viruses, > hanging about in the air as it does for several > seconds.

gromit3:16 - please calm down. You're not helping anyone, least of all yourself.

Yet again the government put their interests (insurance industry) first by putting the onus on consumers to NOT go to pubs, restaurants, theatres, etc., instead of making it a rule and enabling at least some of them to claim.

Quintessential ED Forum stupid thread.

This is nonsense. Their healthcare system is often ranked as one of the best in the world. Upon what do you base this statement? Their system is overwhelmed but it's looking likely that that will be the case everywhere soon.

Don't buy Dyson. He's an arch Brexiteer and then he moved his company from the UK to Singapore.

DF - the leaves are used and have a much milder flavour than ordinary garlic. They make a great soup or pesto and it only appears for a few weeks each year.

They have loads for sale at Borough Market. Probably wise to get some there.

Some responses to this virus are borderline hysterical.
