10menwent2mow Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Empty care homes Open pubs This idea that it has to be either hospitality or everything else is a fucking horrid idea.Hospitality/tourism employs a huge number of people in this country, not just directly but through supply chains etc. It's not as simple as saying that folk should just be able to 'go without a pint for a wee while' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 The tier system, in my opinion, isn't workingA significant minority of people just ignoring the travel restrictions and are just moving from tier to tier to get around them.My wife saw quite a few Glaswegians doing their shopping up in Dundee in the local Debenhams.Just watch Angus shoot up again when those on the border with it (I'm thinking Monifieth and Birkhill) have visitors booking meals in local pubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protagonist syndrome writ large.It's not just the people who directly work in the industry itself. It's breweries, delivery drivers, food producers that supply these places. Taxis that will pick up and drop people off from pubs/restaurants/hotels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) 9 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: My aunt's son-in-law played the "they say that if you want to see what your wife will look like later then look at her mother..." card during his wedding speech. Let's just say that he didn't get the reaction he was probably expecting when he added"... and I'm really looking forward to it, phooaaarrr". 9 hours ago, Hedgecutter said: Without trying to sidetrack the thread too much, and assuming that I'm correct in thinking "wid" translates into "would shag", is this Distant Doonhamer claiming on record that it's acceptable to shag one's aunt? An interesting line in the sand there. Cracking story re your aunt's son-in-law. Re your sidetracking. No it's not me advising crossing any line just an attempt at humour. (Honest guv). Apologies if any offence caused. Edited December 16, 2020 by Distant Doonhamer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 6 hours ago, Aladdin said: Post viral fatigue syndrome has been recognised for ages and you cant help but think they are including that within the numbers of "long covid". I had glandular fever in my late 20s and was gubbed for weeks after the cold/flu like symptoms and the touch of hepatitis that accompanied them disappeared. I had understood long covid to mean restricted lung capacity etc long after recovery should have been expected, not just feeling a bit knackered. “Long covid” is just another wanky term that’s been coined from the pandemic. It’s a modern day post viral fatigue. I mentioned before that I took chickenpox as an adult and had PVF for about a year afterwards. I could barely walk up the stairs or have a shower without needing to lie down and nap. I imagine “long covid” to feel similar to that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I'm interested to know, what gave it away that they were Glaswegians?Some were pretty open that they were up for a day trip to do the shopping in Perth and Dundee. People tend to talk (or rather blab) to Sales Assistants. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Nobody knows why the infection rate remains stubbornly high in certain areas... a party of 10 people found at a Glasgow address, where the householder had previously been issued with two fixed penalty notices (FPNs) in the north east six people were warned after being found at two different parties in the same evening officers attended a Glasgow address following a report of a noisy party. Fines were issued to five people - four of whom had previously received Covid-related fines in Ayrshire people attempted to jump out of the windows of a property when police arrived. This was the second time officers had attended the address having previously issued a fine to the householder and police went to a Renfrewshire address where they gave fines to two party-goers who had previously been issued with a warning https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-55330909 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
