Pettytom   1 #1957 Posted October 16, 2020 I’m sitting in my living room at the moment. My app is telling me that the risk level in my area is high. Mrs Pettytom is sitting on the other side of the room and her app is telling her that the risk level is medium.  Its not that big a living room, both sides of it are in the same post code😀  Shambles doesn’t really do this lot justice.

We have a so-called PM who ignores the advice of his advisors, who then refuses to negotiate with the Mayors of devolved areas (who by definition have local powers), and threatens to intervene with his opinion. It is called a dictatorship in other countries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My app keeps telling me that I've been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, even on days when I've not left my home. Still, it fills my heart with joy that  executives from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) helping the government set up and run its testing system are being paid day rates of around £7,000 - equivalent to an annual salary of around £1.5m. Still I expect to be accused of peddling the 'politics of envy'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I suppose this is why they are known as the snowflake generation! Not true if used correctly. You should never touch the mask. Only touch the attachments used to secure it. Bit of reality, my youngest son who lives in Nottingham (potential tier 3) came to Sheffield (potential tier 3)  came to visit today. He met his brother outside for half an hour and  then came to see me in my garden. It felt really odd because I don’t know when I’ll see him or the two of  them together again. I’m in a support bubble with my eldest son so can have indoor meetings but, as he only has weekend contact with my only grandchild, I can only see her outside-time limited at this time of year. Contact has been problematic with Family Court exacting an order several years ago. Covid 19  is being used as an excuse to terminate contact despite regulations but access to legal support and Family Courts are also affected by Covid. I feel my small but very close family is being torn apart by the pandemic Edited October 17, 2020 by catmiss Addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
