NotThePars Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 4 minutes ago, Todd_is_God said: In the blame culture we now live in, it's not unexpected that there is an adverse reaction to a bit of responsibility being put on people to look after themselves and make appropriate risk / reward decisions. Workplaces will make an effort to do what is possible as this will allow them to open. Working from home will still be encouraged for those who can. KFC etc are offering reduced services to limit the number of staff required on shift to limit the risk. Think it's less about accepting personal responsibility and more that people are worried that those around them, employers, and the government are not going to do all they can to ensure their safety is paramount in the midst of a pandemic. I'm glad I don't work for Asos or Amazon atm, for example. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Reuters reporting Germany now crept up to R1.1 today sparking fears of a second wave.. over to you Boris.Nit sure we should be looking to take pre emptive action based on an inferred variable that has risen mere days after the lifting of restrictions, when the opposite effect takes weeks to be seen? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some spokesperson on Sky News just now saying she looked "alert" up in the dictionary, and apparently it means vigilant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.A.F.C Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Just back from a walk to post some stuff. Stopped at the post box to get a stone out my shoe. Approaching me on the otherwise deserted pavement was a guy wearing in-ear headphones. As I stood with one foot in the air shaking my training shoe, this grade one fanny stops dead in his tracks about ten feet from me, does a 45 degree turn, marches into the middle of the road. Stops, turns, like soldiers on parade, and proceeds to march straight down the white lines - in the middle of the road. He doesn’t return to the pavement, he just keeps walking down the middle of the road. Approaching him, a woman in a white Mercedes A Class. He can’t hear the car. She hits the brakes and has to slow right down to walking pace. He’s still marching down the middle of the road. Cnuts like this need to get a fcuking grip.Techno viking imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Aren't batteries on EVs practically built into the whole chassis?Yes.Hydrogen powered cars are the future, some of the developments are amazing, they’ve worked out a way to condense the hydrogen using some kind of material that can store enough to power a car for 700miles in something the size of a normal petrol tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 The attitude of British exceptionalism is absolutely part of why we've got the highest death toll in Europe. It has always been there but, since 2016, it has really taken off.Absolutely. The danger is we replace it with Scottish exceptionalism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
