Another one was that the system is running on Excel and they reached the maximum number of columns. Either way an absolute cluster. I hope they've all been tracked and traced... That's a complete joke about the file size if true, really shows the complete incompetence of those running the system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 So what do we reckon they are going to recommend restriction wise?I'll plump for a 'central belt' travel limit of up to 5 miles for GG&C, Lanarkshire and Lothian boards with hospitality to be takeaway only in these areas and no meeting of other households indoors or outdoors apart from childcare or usual exemptions. For the rest of the country, travel into these areas for essential purposes only and takeaway hospitality only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of the country, travel into these areas for essential purposes only and takeaway hospitality only. I reckon they might go full circuit breaker. Two weeks left with a few weeks left while we can utilise the furlough scheme before Scotland becomes fully at the UK governments mercy- No socialising with any other household apart from childcare, adults who live alone and non cohabiting couples - WFH if you can- If not, still go to work if it’s open- Pubs, restaurants, indoor leisure, indoor sports all to close- Outdoor sports 6 people from 2 households only apart from professional sport- Exercise as much as you want but only within 5 miles of home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of feel like there's no point trying to build up a head of steam now if they're just shutting them again. They'll get binned soon I'm sure. They seem to fall on the pubs/football side of the pseudo puritanical list the Government are working from. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be ridiculous if they close the place I go to when they're all over cleanliness and do a lot for the local community like free classes and affordable counselling for those that need it and can't afford it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm far more worried about the latter than I am the former, and the news do a terrible job of covering the latter. Lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local Mini Tesco, doesn't have that top notch scanner stuff, they have a assistant who takes your temperature and gives you a nod for the mask wearing technique of under the chin or nose, but not fully on. This has now all gone, we are back to "normal" and can walk in and out without masks or temperature checks. I still wear my mask, as I'm a good boy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the rest of the country, travel into these areas for essential purposes only and takeaway hospitality only. Having had an increased interest in Roman Scotland of late (random, I know), I feel that a rebuild of the Antonine Wall should at least be considered (seeing as somewhat ambitious bridge projects between NI and Scotland are back on table). A guarded gateway would be established along the M80, with the 'Castlecary Port' being the main point of entry between the North and South. A second port would be grudgingly placed in Bearsden town centre to prevent it resembling a divided Cold War Berlin, but with stringent checks and a strict ban on travel outwith northern Bearsden / Milngavie. Temporary legionary forts would be placed at Balloch and Kilsyth to enforce this with truncheons spears to the face being sanctioned for non-compliance. Many of the c.2000 yr old foundations are already in place and it would provide hundreds of construction jobs without having to build green-belt-infringing new towns comprising 4 bedroom middle class homes. It would also make an interesting post-Covid attraction, giving the local tourism and hospitality sectors a much needed shot in the arm. The spiked ramparts would be constructed using recycled plastics, much of which would be reclaimed from the sea, thus cleaning our world class beaches. As I say, something worth consideration. Eta: reinstatement of the toll booths at the Forth bridges to act as checkpoints between the Lothians and the North. The old ones might still be kicking around a store room somewhere.

Dunning1874 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Losing track of thousands of cases because they can’t work Excel is the perfect example of the efficiency the private sector brings to healthcare.
