Apprently one of our neighbours granddaughter has it. She's only young (19 maybe) works in Reading Berks Hosp. She lives with her nan so they have had to isolate themselves. Seen the ambulance here 4 times so far inside 2 days. I hope them the best. Hopefully its nothing too serious

If you are delivering pills, you can use your bike. :)

Good news mate. From what my brother and wife have said (1 recovered, the other recovering) it seems to be fairly short lived, but harsh on the body. Fingers crossed your on the way to recovery.

I've been designated as a "furloughed worker" from the 3rd of April.

I'm off out this morning to furlough one company's workers.

I have no idea how long the Country or indeed the World can sustain paying the majority of its working population. I would guess three months at most if they want there to be any jobs to come back too.

I think we're heading the same way at work. It's dead. All of the assistants I've spoken to have said the same thing. We've got nothing to do. Our experts aren't seeing anyone, the Court have issued 2 months extensions to timetables, we can't do any investigations. It seems like most of the partners are hoarding the work for themselves.

My wife has taken a 20% pay cut but also been warned furlough is likely to happen soon.

If I'm furloughed as well I'll speak to the bank and take a 3 month mortgage holiday












Then use the money as a deposit on a new bike (devil)

I would love to get out on the bikes. I don't think it's worth it though. Which is a shame when the roads are empty

I have a letter from my employer saying I'm allowed to travel as a Key Worker. I wonder if there is a limit on how much travel I'm allowed to do ;)
