It's good that you can get a hair cut from 12th April then, isn't it

What are the styles permitted? As some will involve longer periods of close contact than others...perhaps just unisex crew-cuts for all?...I imagine the government will publish that guidance when we also get the update of what is acceptable pub grub...fingers crossed the scotch egg still makes the cut....

I think it is a sensible roadmap, allowing time to measure the impacts of each stage on the R number. This is the only way to go if we are not to repeat the mistakes of last year. It is not about stopping all deaths either. It is about getting things to a manageable level with a reopened economy. The monitoring for mutations will be ongoing just as is the case with influenza.


Repairing the economic and mental health impacts however is going to be a different challenge. And that is where normal party politics will return, over who bears the true burden of the borrowing etc etc.

The whole concept and messaging is bent out of shape.

We live in one of the free-est societies in the world but somehow it?s being painted that we?re not free - because some of us adhered to pandemic regulations.

Tbh - the Govt has little to make slogans out of but this distraction (and momentary punch-the-air populist opportunity) really does take the biscuit.

Over a year ago this thread mentions Australia and NZ pursuing an elimination policy - and they still are.


Another short sharp lockdown in Sydney starts after cases went up to 44. They're still going for a total elimination policy. This totally conflicts with our policy and shows the world has no consistent policy.

Elimination will only work whilst they are in lockdown. The minute they open a window??


Billions of years of evolutions have taught us that elimination doesn?t work. Even polio is no longer eradicated (which is what a lot of folks say when told to explain their understanding of ?eradication?.


It is more realistic to go for a ?manageable? policy.

      Just had this team/ company demolish a front wall, dig out the trees, build a wall, a place for the bins, landscape the front with stones and the liked and lay a new path and porch with a bull nose stone step. We are very happy with their work, diligent and attentive to detail, (it’s always difficult to know until things have bedded in for a few years but) good quality. Excellent communication. They’re very local, they know the East Dulwich clay, that the buildings and grounds are essentially mobile, and very dependant on the temperature and moisture in the ground. I think the key things for us - busy, always in and out, young kids etc - were we felt perfectly safe with them here, I don’t think they mucked about with pricing or quality once we were set (bits and bobs come up and were effortlessly sorted) and all in all, over the time it took for them to get the right quality (for them! the finish is good) we quite liked the team. We’d have them back in a moment, and are very happy to recommend them.

      Sorry to hear that this is happening to your son. East Dulwich Grove doesn't fall into Dulwich Hill ward, it is split depending on the postcode it would either be Goose Green SNT or Dulwich Village SNT, you may check which one using the link below. On the website would also be the team and any events being held in the future. If it is an emergency please call 999 or non-emergencies 101. https://www.met.police.uk/area/your-area/

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      By DuncanW · Posted

      CIC is not the appropriate vehicle for a fund-raising intermediary.  CICs are for businesses that typically sell something or provide a service for social good  but are not for profit; a community cafe or arts centre, or an IT skills training centre for  unemployed people. it costs £65 to set up  a CIC, the scrutiny is less than for a full charity, and the administrative burden is pretty low if you don’t file accounts. It’s hard to prove a negative, but if you were trying to build a credible, positive case for giving money to street collectors for CityHive CIC, that might be a little harder still… tho thank you, Zahid for joining the Forum to give it a go.
