Cannot wait to laugh in the face of the first Lovejoy who loses their mind when I'm in a shop without a mask once they're in the bin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory should hardly have been possible with all our restrictions. Surely easy to work out ? RAF would be my suspicion. NB Not that I give a flying feck about the variant itself. no way sir! arr brave RAF boys will see off any variant foolish enough to come near us ANY TIME! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestically at least we should be living normal lives unless something happens to change that. We shouldn't be living abnormal lives just in case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 I think that these surveys tell us that people are wary but I don't think it reflects how people will behave. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why you think that but I think it's unrealistic that there will be wholesale differences between us an England. we have only even been slightly out of sync with each other the whole time and rules have been broadly the same 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time last week we were speculating about no foreign travel and yet it's now pretty much going to be a 4 nations approach which, given the "green" list and considering nowhere is letting us in EU wise for at least another 3 weeks is absolutely fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallo_Madrid Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 (edited) Now the election is out the way and she can get the Covid goggles back on. If I was NS, looking at the data the way it is, why not bring Level 2 forward to Thursday at midnight. Give the hospitality industry a much needed boost. They'll be all stocked and ready to go now anyway. Zero chance it will happen though. Edited May 11, 2021 by Mallo_Madrid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 2 hours ago, Michael W said: No doubt many of the people clinging onto social distancing are elderly and therefore have no concerns about it inhibiting their job or anything like that. More's the worry that many of them will also have been double jagged. Get it to f**k ASAP. Don't think the age thing will be too relevant. I posted the other day one of the surveys showed only 5% of over 80s that have had the double jag see covid as a major risk now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I've said before, my hunch has always been that we'll probably have to get through another winter, which should now be no worse than a bad flu season at most, to satisfy the 'scientists', both Scottish and UK Governments, and the Lovejoy's, before we can dispense with some of the theatre measures that will remain in the interim. Life is going to continue getting a whole lot better nonetheless, and we will get back to real normality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
