As are the pubs being kept open, NS might go for for a 9:45 curfew. I really cant see a travel limit coming in though. Outdoor tourism in Scotland is probably doing quite well, I think it would be fruitless to stifle that. Aye you’re right there. I’ve never even as many motor homes around Ayrshire as I have the last few months. Parking up at Girvan harbour there’s about 25+ per night. A travel limit would be cutting their nose off to spite their face 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1885 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Think NS will be throwing some bad arras when she steps up to the oche at 2.20. Think socialising between households will be banned, pubs and restaurants may be shut, FE / HE likely to be online delivery only. The school week likely to be heavily restricted, too. Pubs, restaurants, schools are the worst places for transmission and it is mad children are back at all. I also think those of us hoping to see a football match this side of Christmas are likely to be sorely disappointed. England's cancelling of sport with fans pretty much guarantees it. I think in the lower leagues, HL / LL, and the newly established leagues below, are gubbed this season. Johnson's announcement was laughable. Rishi Sunak's bullshit "Eat Out to Help Out" scheme has actively accelerated the spread of the virus (£10 off your bill and coronavirus as a complementary side order). We're not going back to the "old normal" for a long time. But despite this being a hideous global pandemic, twitter and the Unionist press will be full of the usual knuckle-dragging Unionists wailing about how we're actually living in North Korea because "STURGEON RIPPED UP MA SEASON TICKET", "BORIS IS MAH PRIME MINISTUR". "WEE NIPPY'S ENJOYING THIS", "AH'M NO WEARING A MASK", "IT'S AWNLY A CAULD". The more we humour these cretins the longer it will take to get back to any kind of normal.that's the point though IDB. It's a "hideous global pandemic" which has taken hold for at least 6 months across all parts of the globe. What this means is that we're now in a position to draw comparisons with other parts of the world in their handling of said pandemic. From that, it's clear to see that the politicians in this country (UK and Holyrood) have made a right c**t of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Ingo ohne Flamingo said: The closing of schools does give me the fear as a dad to a 13 year old son. He generally does well in School but the Lockdown months were a nightmare for him, it was obvious to me that Teacher interaction was critical for him. He's now started 2nd year and from a conversation with his head of year, he's striving again in what is a very important year for him so I am happy for that. My fear now is a school shut down and the blended learning approach kicks in, this could have a huge impact on his education. I'm not a Teacher and I struggled to keep him going, my wife is a Nursery Teacher but she could only work with what the Teachers were supplying and mostly it was BBC Bitesize stuff which unfortunately stopped during the English holidays at Easter rather than the Scottish holidays. My son lived with his Mum for a week then with me for a week, I was finding out that he wasn't doing any homework at all whilst at his Mums and even was sending blank documents in so when I checked his Glow / Teams account it looked like it had been done, but what he didn't know was I was in constant dialogue with his head of year who informed me of his wee trick... My son is a bright lad but needs pushed and his teachers are brilliant at that. Adam makes a good point earlier about the effects on his WFH. I also had that same issue but I was lucky my wife was able to step in and help with my son but my work did suffer as my Daughter was at home and not at nursery, she's 2 so demanded a lot of attention. I'm now ever thankful that my son is at School and my daughter is at Nursery again, not just for me being able to work, or my son to get an education, but for their social wellbeing - it was a horrible few months for them. Hopefully these other measures work but I'm not holding my breath. Whatever policies are put forward, I honestly hope they are made with Childrens Education and Mental Wellbeing in mind. Have you thought about just taking a belt to him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
