Coronavirus - Self isolation - Tips

[Ray B]

We're all going to need a good sense of humour over the coming months..

When it is all over, the big money giveaways will have to be paid for to top up the government funds.
Do I see big Tax risers on the horizon?

[Stephen]

There is serious and following sensible guide lines Gill. We are not in the age or vulnerable catagory. We go out and keep the safe distance required as best we can.

You look after yourself and I'll do the same.

You are doing exactly the same as we're doing - we're going out for essential food shopping and a daily walk for health - it's very quiet around here so we can keep a good distance.

Perhaps your apparent light hearted approach is your coping mechanism.

Anyway, look yourself too.

We're all going to need a good sense of humour over the coming months...so long live Stephen l say

Cash only please, no cheques. And please remember to launder first

Hi Ray,

The only thing you can be sure about is that when this is over there will be some laughing all the way to the bank.....perhaps the first thing the Goverment should do is redresses this inbalance.

About time Boris...

The ironic part of this lock down is that those who have been flaunting social distancing will be the ones who get treated first.

Now that is possibly the most accurate comment you have made recently OL.

Play nicely boys, otherwise you will be sent to the naughty step.

[Stephen]

Not again.

These are the sort of brain dead scum bags the ' vulnerable ' old folk are up against … disgusting

Not all of the old and vulnerable are used to doing as they are told. Our 89 year old chain smoking next door neighbour ("I'm nearly 90 you know") takes the view "They ain't tellin' me what to do. I went all through the blitz". Another on Solent radio today with a similar selfish attitude, it beggars belief. I had a nice email from Sainsburys today to inform me that I was in the vulnerable category and would be prioritised for deliveries, which was very nice. I cant even get on the Waitrose site, and I think they just don't have the logistics to provide for this situation.

I don't think the isolation will bother either Sue or Me. We enjoy each others company and laugh a fair bit. Do you think it will be allowed to go out just for a drive in the country? I can't work that one out.

Trying not to sleep after lunch.

The old bugger can do what he likes of course but he won't survive a dose of the Coronas …. Oh, no.

I had the Sains email on Sunday but still no sign of any slots ... ' COOK ' and ' Mindfulchef ' are also lacking in stock or delivery slots

I personally think it's ok to go for a drive but I will be phoning a garage, who use an attendant at the pumps, and making an advance card payment for say £25's worth.

Do they still do that down there? Even up here that went out years ago. I suppose the AA man in his jodhpurs salutes you as well!

I have just managed to place a £150 ' priority ' order for tomorrow morning with Sainsbugs

We went out to do our Sainsbury's shopping this morning, and proper social distancing has now been brought in.

We had to queue up outside (everyone maintained a proper distance from each other) and they let us in to the store in batches of 20. Store staff and security guards were doing the marshalling. the atmosphere was calm, and everyone way complying. Some shelves were still depleted but lots of fresh food. We got everything we needed, so I'm hoping this will calm everyone down. That's our shopping done until next week. We have our daily permitted exercise, but apart from that, we won't be leaving the house.

We won’t need calming down Gill, we’ve never over reacted in the first place.

Nor us … that reminds me, the gastro pub will be delivering our dinner soon

Hi Gill,

The government has said there is no shortage just the distribution so l think now that the mad rush has now passed most will get back to sensible weekly shopping...so yes this will calm things down.

Your posh. I've got a pastie, oven chips and baked beans myself (Heinz of course)
