So that’s me f**ked for custody with the kids in that time. I effectively couldn’t be in a car with them or prepare there food.

Not to mention shagging Jess

For my state failure to comply with self isolation requirements is punishable with a fine of $12,000 and or 6 months prison time.

Eldest has a really bad cough, so we're in isolation for 7 days!

Whatever the outcome I think a few economies might be shagged for a while after this.

Our Italian factories are all still manufacturing and we still have products moving through UK ports without delay.

You accidentally forgot to add that bit.
But props for quoting Maggie.
I knew you'd come around eventually.

Still selfish cnuts.

We have to shop for mother in law as she is unable to do it herself and these selfish cnuts have emptied the shelves. Selfish cnuts!

As soon as this shit is all over, we are off. I have had enough.

I don't think you're going to find that things are different anywhere else, Duke. Wherever you go there'll be people, and the problems they generate.

Thacher bloke civilised society, she did it on purpose and what we're seeing now is a direct result of that. Just like modern austerity, it was a political choice not a necessity.

"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.

'A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts', Mead said.

We are at our best when we serve others. Be civilized."

I see we've got some guidance from our glorious PM.

He is a complete ****. I wouldn't trust him with a £5 note.

I bet he wished he had never put himself forward to be PM now. His plans for the next few years have been completely destroyed.

If they start shutting sites down it will finish us off after losing a load money to a company going bust on us.
It’s business as usual on all the places we are working at the minute.

Hopefully it stays that way Mick. The big worry is the strain this is placing on many businesses large and small.

Well the view from France isn't pretty.

I've been out and about today to see what's going on, done some shopping (not stockpiling, just normal stuff) and had a look at the real situation.

Sadly the frogs have shrugged their shoulders even though most things have been forceably shut. The only things allowed open are banks, chemists, tabacs, garages and food shops (mostly there are others but more niche stuff).

Because rural frenchies don't generally give a shit about most things in life there has not been the mass stockpiling of the UK, however shelves are beginning to look bare - tins and freezer items mainly, but it seems supply is becoming a problem here, as well as everyone not staying in.

There are rumours circulating (which don't help) that the French government have seen this - Paris hasn't listened for example - so they will lock down like Spain and Italy.

I have a funeral to go to tomorrow of a friend (not related to Covid-19) and they are the only gathering exempt from restrictions, but i can see it being the last proper outing for a while.

It is easier in the middle of nowhere as i'm sure it wont be policed as well as towns and cities, but its going to be a lonely few months i think.

My thoughts are with the fragile, the old, small businesses that go under and those who cant fend for themselves, of which there are a lot of people. Over here there are a lot of gites, admittedly bought by over optimistic ex-pats who rely on the income to live on that will end up destitute come Easter and the Summer.

I'm going to spend my time helping people around here, they will need our help. I hope it brings communities together and makes people realise how ridiculous the current convenience way of life is. Probably not, but i'm an optimist and always will be
