If offices and restaurants are closed as they are unsafe, then the kitchens of food takeaway places aren't safe either. Neither are the likes of B&M or Home Bargains "essential" Supermarkets, unfortunately for those who work in them, clearly are essential, but the floor staff should be moved to the top of the vaccination list. The SG are "running out of lives" so to speak for the number of times they can rely on people having faith in them producing anything beneficial from their smorgasbord of restrictions. Crafty allusion to Sweden slipped in... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Bully Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I know nothing gets P&B going like the mere mention of 'Brewdog', and whilst it's not exactly a done deal, it's interesting to note that they say they're now in talks with SG (and presumably UKG?) about using their pubs as vaccination centres. Given the offer from Brewdog was made not even a week ago, it does point to a lack of preparedness. These things should have been organised months ago.What “things” should have been organised months ago?Do you think that the SG was going “oh, we have no idea where to vaccinate people. If only we had access to the 14 bars Brewdog have in Scotland - that would be a game changer”Let’s forget about all those community centres, GP practices, sports halls and so forth that we could have used. Brewdog is the saviour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes incredible amount of fun to be had, I've spent that last 40 mins replying to some of the moon howlers, some of them are talking about how they only want their kids to have an education like then. Except their post usually looks like this: Ah Only want my Kids to have the Same EDUCATION as I did when I was wee End Of I can't believe Jack McConnell is on side with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, all that infrastructure already exists - there seems to be some impression that none of this has been thought about up till now... maybe because it isn't shouted from the rooftops to people who aren't normally affected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly stupid people surely can't be more than 50 or so parents who actually believe that crap, it is so incredibly selfish. The use of the word Inundated would indicate either more than 50 or James is exaggerating. I’m not sure what the majority view of parents is, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the majority thought that schools should remain open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my flu jag in the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy.

Brewdog is the saviour. Oh FFS. Like I say, nothing gets you lot going more than Brewdog A plan on who, where and how should have been in place long before the vaccine was approved. Seemingly being in negotiations with an outfit who made their offer after the vaccine was approved is indicative of poor forward planning (in my opinion) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what the majority view of parents is, but it wouldn’t surprise me if the majority thought that schools should remain open. I'm a parent, and if as thought this strain is more transmissible amongst kids, then I think they should stay closed. The wife is working all of the next fortnight so it'll be sleeves up as I try to help teach a p1 and a p4. Not exactly looking forward to it, but the noises coming out of their school is its going to be far more teacher led and far less "busy work" than we experienced in March (which was a binfire imo). I genuinely don't know any parents amongst their friends that wants them to go back. That doesn't mean they don't exist of course, nor that those thinking like me are in the majority Edited January 4, 2021 by madwullie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they don't all subscribe to their views or Scotland has come so far off the rails that even asking parents to look after their kids for 10 days to stop the spread of virus is now too much to ask parents to do. It's honestly unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
