Boostin' Kev Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 1 hour ago, EdinburghPar1975 said: Very surprised that so many folks seem to be out and about. I'm in Duddingston/ Portobello and other than the usual shops, the streets and roads seem very quiet. Although when I read about the madness at Five Guys when it re-opened a take-away service in Fountainbridge I really wonder about what goes on in folks heads. Is it really that important to get a burger? If it is, fair enough - but at least try and keep some sort of distancing. All that's going to happen is there will be a tightening of the restrictions on who can do take away... Plenty people chilling in St Mark's Park when I skated through earlier. Nice atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm enjoying this new spate of folk posting to complain about how many other people they see out and about when they are out and about. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be lucky to get £65,000 odd for it now. Did you move in after he bought it, then? ETA:OK, slow off the mark, but unsurprising I'm not the only one to tap that in.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 5 hours ago, philpy said: The people that deserve a slap out of this the most are millenials. Sick of hearing young c***s moaning because they can't get to the pub for dark fruits and jagerbombs, or they can't get out for a "cheeky nandos" or a "maccy dees". We all have to deal with the the issue of not getting out to do the things we like for a good while, but we just have to suck it up and get on with it. Aye I'm missing going for a Friday pint, but I can still get beers at the shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 2 hours ago, jagfox99 said: Byres Road had quite a few folk waiting to get into the Santander bank (open every other day at the moment), a few folk queuing at the butcher and fishmonger. Waitrose had folk queued down the block and halfway up the street around the corner. Then again there are limited numbers allowed in these places. Did seem busier overall. 2 hours ago, Mark Connolly said: It's been fairly quiet the last few days. I definitely think there are more people out on Fridays for some reason Byres Road definitely seemed busier today than the rest of the week. More traffic too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we assume everyone using it is genuinely a key worker(which absolutely won’t be the case with no checks) the numbers aren’t anywhere close to adding up. 10 million looking for 15000 tests means they will be taken up very quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 20 hours ago, bennett said: Kilbirnie folk should have an immunity to the virus tbf. Theres lots of folk who'd love to be out doing passtimes/interests outside (myself included) but it's just not worth the risk in not following the rules. Cycling is permitted and my daily cycle has probably kept me reasonably sane during this, tho I've noticed that even the wee country roads are starting to fill up with folk out walking. Harsh !! That's what I mean though, what 's the difference between cycling and golfing from a risk perspective ? I'd actually say cycling is far more dangerous both in terms of breaching social distancing and for a general risk of personal injury which would obviously impact the emergency sevices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Education staff and health workers are both 'Tier 1' in the list of key workers, so are both entitled to first dibs on the tests. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
