Morning all.....I am just shocked by how the people in this country aren't listening to advice. It's like they they think it will not happen to me. Pubs, restaurants closed yet a hotel in Chepstow yesterday was rammed as they are allowed to be open....loop hole that needs closing....People going to beauty spots and socialising....keep fits classes being held in parks...!!!!!....Even in my own family....my parents still think they can do what they always have. They are 80 and my father has cancer...Stern words from me. They don't realise if one of them have to go to hospital the other will not be able to visit or any of the family. If heaven forbid it takes their life then they will die alone in hospital without their love ones. Sobering thought for me. Do the public really understand or just paying lip service to what the government is saying. The government have been clear with advice yet people still see this as a way to undermine what they are doing on social media.....This is time to come together and support what is advised....if this gets worse there is only one group of people to blame.....us......not Boris, not the government ...... We are in charge of our own destination here.....You just have to look at Italy to see what could happen...Sorry for an early morning rant but this is fecking serious...

Totally agree Andy and for all of us on here that like a bit of Italy in our lives it's Heartbreaking what's happening over there.
Through social media I have connected with an old girlfriend that I knew back in the early 80'S in Saudi Arabia and what she tells me is it's absolute **** there at the moment and the rest of the World needs to be very careful.
NZ thought it wouldn't happen there and it is :(

Morning gents, morning Andy. Idiots are everywhere. We have limitations to beeing out here for two weeks now, but still some people think it's a holiday. Apart from pharmacies and super markets everything is closed, yet some stupid go to the beach or to parks. We had the parks closed since yesterday as well.
Stay inside is the key to the virus. Italy and Spain (and probably UK) did not take it too serious at the very beginning, so they are faced with the results now. Please stay in. It will not be forever, just for little time.
Have a good day and stay safe.

How's France Phil?
Total lockdown for us and not allowed out of our local area.
Have to have official paperwork to go out for food or other essential items. Thankfully very few people panicking and plenty of food and essential supplies.
Hope it's the same for you ?

Morning all, mostly resuming this today with ‘the girls’ wonder if we can make it last 12 weeks!
Might self isolate in the Alfa for an hour or so later, a nice blast around the Backdowns.

Leant my Flymo to a self isolating neighbour. Not used it this year, hope it's OK :D

Bought a new petrol Honda as recommended by the people that spray **** on the lawn once a month. They start much easier when the HT lead is connected......
