    I would think taking an LV any where at this time would be classed as a non essential journey,  which is now legislated for,  instead of "advised" as up to today  which now gives the police the powers needed.

    And as in this area the service centres are also closed,

    Some folk have a Panel Van based  LV as their only vehicle, so have no choice but use it for their Food shopping trips/ Chemists.Might I suggest They put a ' I am NOT on Holiday' Sticker in the Windscreen and back window. If they dont want the 'Self Rightous' giving them the evil eye or worse.

    After seeing the American teens celebrating spring break in Miami, some actually calling it a ‘virus party’ it doesn’t surprise me at all. They are getting their chutzpah from Mr(it’ll be controlled by Easter) Trump. The USA are strong but not strong enough to come out of this pandemic unscathed.

    Another day appeared on the Tesco delivery calendar for the 16th April, but already first thing in the morning shows no slots available. Looks like the chances of getting another delivery from them are slim to none. I suppose they have to prioritise in some way, there just aren't enough slots to go round.

    Same at Morrisons Steve, I have just resigned myself to the fact at some point I will have to go shopping or ask for help.

    There was an item on TV about this and it did not sound at all hopeful that there would be improvements.

    Sad once again the deniers are looking for splitting hairs about travel.Does it matter whether its a car, M/H etc. The answer is DONT GO OUT UNLESS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. If you cant grasp the racking up of NHS facilites, ie Leisure sites being converted to wards, Massive attempts to get ventilators. The worse is yet to come and EVERYONE has to do their bit by not mixing or giving the virus any chance to keep spreading.

    Anyone seen the u tube clip of the Italian police arresting a bloke for not obeying the isolation rules, brutal but necessary, perhaps some in the UK need this sort of treatment.  I won't show the clip for a number of reasons.

    Isn't it easy to sit on the sidelines and snipe at those that are trying to keep us safe when what is required is our full support.  Stay safe whilst you Stay at Home.

    Germany seems to be doing well at keeping deaths down and they have flattened the curve.

    ITV did a survey and these are the basic results:

    10% of Brits are still meeting people outside their immediate family
    10% of Brits are still doing more than essential shopping
    18% of Brits are still taking public transport
    7% of Brits are ignoring hand washing advice

    What don’t these morons understand

    Both of our local hospitals have now got Covid19 cases so I feel it's creeping nearer every day. There's a slight element of out of sight out of mind but I think people will be surprised at the extent of the disease this week.

    We've had lots of people walking on our right of way, further along there's a gate with a metal clasp, I wear gloves to go through this but might spray it soon just as an attempt to temporarily knock out any bugs. We usually see locals on the path but there's been an increase in "visitors." I felt so sorry for the Derbyshire farmer who was punched and attacked for challenging a walker on a path, people have been driving out in their cars to the Peak District for "nice" walks. Don't do it, walk locally!

    Is it the North/South divide again, a 4000 bed hospital in London but no mention of maybe the NEC as an additional  unit? to cover the north.

    Ridiculous, if our fantastic armed forces are on duty they will, of course, be in uniform.
