They shouldn’t ‘walk amongst us’ until the lockdown period is over👍🏻

Info from ROSPA website leads me to hope that having to stay at home doesn't go on too long!!
Facts and figures
- More accidents happen at home than anywhere else
- Every year there are approximately 6,000 deaths as the result of a home accident
- More than two million children under the age of 15 experience accidents in and around the home every year, for which they are taken to accident and emergency units
- Children under the age of five and people over 65 (particularly those over 75) are most likely to have an accident at home
- Over 76,000 children under the age of 14 are admitted for treatment of which over 40% are under 5 years of age
- Falls are the most common accidents, which can cause serious injury at any time of life. The risk increases with age

TW, TDA, steve, that was my thoughts to. I can kind of understand why she is doing it, she is such a nice thoughtful person but has got her priorities wrong on this one.
As it happens she doesn't own the salon but is the only hairdresser there. Just about all her customers are elderly, she often goes and picks them up and then runs them home again once done.
I sincerely hope nothing bad happens because of her actions.

She is so wrong and I'd not be surprised if someone shops her to the police. The pathway to hell.......etc but how would she feel if she infected that old lady?

I have been wondering about one of those solar panels you put on the dash board. What concerns me more is the reason for drop in battery performance, is the battery or a fault with the alternator or has an internal light been left on? I have a new multimeter so I am monitoring it on a daily basis to keep on the right side of the law

And I'll tell you what they didn't half look very scary

Misguided kindness most likely. Hope she wasn’t calling off at other customers on the way.

One German town has just made 'MASK'S COMPULSORY'

If only we could get them for NHS here. The Germans are just so efficient about a lot of things......

One of the world's biggest protective glove manufacturers [something like 20% of the world market] is based in Malaysia. The factory os struggling to meet emergency orders from every corner of the world because it cannot get enough foreign workers from Nepal because of the border closures and travel restrictions ...

Did your [now former] neighbours have a yen to move to Austria?
BTW, the unemployment rate in Austria has risen by 65.7% over the last month, largely due to the collapse of the tourism and associated sectors. Overall unemployment in Austria is some 12.2% IIRC.

OH forgot to put razors onto our on line order so is now in competition with a neighbour who has also run out of them to see who can grow a beard the fastest.
I've asked our eldest to send some emergency supplies down, I've heard that beards are not good, viruses can stick to them? (Myth or truth I haven't investigated, but we've had the Captain Birdseye look before which gradually descended into Captain Birdsnest...)

I was just reading about a village which has had to develop a one way system for local residents to walk. To prevent them walking too close to one another. Every time I go out on our local footpaths I'm wondering who I'll meet on a narrow bit as many more people are out walking . I've actually found road walking easier as there's so little traffic around.

Same here brue. It’s getting busier in our park at times. Some folks don’t seem to want to deviate from a straight line down middle of a path, so we find ourselves waiting for them to pass. Met a family of eight all out together this morning, bit of a road block. We take to the cross country route👍
Come up with another bit of fresh air time. We have quite a number of kites, so might take one of those out to use in one of big field areas, away from paths. Something a bit different to do. Usually involves a bit of exercise getting it launched, the trying to stop it crashing to Earth😂

We have quite a few, a couple of those fast stunt ones, and some more unusual ones. The stunt kites need lots of room, usually a big empty beach, as you can get dragged along a bit! But the others are easy to fly. Just a bit of fun😁

You might need a bit larger field for that one PD!

We have a park near us, but have avoided it for that reason. We walk along a road which has a footpath, so that's ok. There are access points to part of a country park along it, so have tried that a few times. But the same problem, although some people are considerate, others aren't and we seem to be the ones either waiting to one side, or moving out of the way.
There is quite a bit of open field area there too, but when we've walked on the paths, people with dogs have taken that bit over, so we've avoided that too.
All in all, walking along the road appears the safest way, and as it isn't busy with cars, crossing over and back isn't much of a problem!
