"...or use your (unused!) dog-poo bags as disposable gloves?"
First, get a dog..🙂

i guess a more upbeat 'caption' to the photo might be...
"great to see a gentle return to normality with folk travelling within the new guidelines. also good to see those with their own facilities who wont be putting pressure on any local ones."
as long as SD regs are maintained, isnt this a good thing to be gently releasing the shackles?
at some point we will all have to embrace the way we move forward and start looking for the (admittedly few at present) positives...

I posted the update news merely for information. I am guessing, even if all goes well, most Sites (not just Club Sites) will be a good six-eight weeks away from welcoming any visitors. Personally, we won’t be booking or using anything. We shall do local days out in MH, entirely self sufficient for a bit of a change, just enjoying a bit of walking and cycling in lonesome places. Fingers crossed we won’t need any contact with others at all, but we check motors over regular to try and be proactive.
I use nitrile gloves, those thinnish gardening/multi use ones, into a bucket of disinfectant, rinsed off, dried out. Hands washed anyway, after anything that requires a glove. Have disposables for the once a week shop.

That’s funny, our local Tesco’ seems to be prone to the “stolen glove” syndrome🧐, but Sainsbury’s and Esso don’t. 😇
I’m not proposing people “nick ” them from forecourts - the Club would need to source them, the same as garages do!

I like your positivity BB
and only if this had been true, but 3 of the MH's that arrived yesterday were still there this morning when i walked the dog, and the occupants had obviously slept in the Mh overnight which is against the rules. Public toilets remain closed 
p.s. although i could have slept at our beach house i did not but dutifully returned home
but will return today for lunch and may be BBQ later.2 -
Good luck with gloves next to Club Site taps. Trustworthy members were pinching whole shower heads at Yellowcraig Site one year when we visited☹️ Three in a week. 🤷♀️

I do the same but use a pair of marigolds instead of the gardening type.

I made the comment AD only because people on sites often use the facilities when no one is around to clean them, especially the evenings when they go in for showers. At the moment not enough is known about the virus transmission and although surfaces can be cleaned I'm wondering aloud about airborne transmission in confined spaces like facility blocks. I know they are much more open to the elements in some places but many aren't, especially in the uk.

I've thrown the article away now but a recent one surprised me as to how much more vulnerable catching the virus is when indoors or in a confined space to that outside. I knew it was more transmittable when inside but didn't realise the actual figures. It concerned the number of airborne droplets people emit when merely talking, never mind sneezing.
It did make me feel that everyone should wear a mask when entering any premises, such as shops or transport.

We don't have one TW but always carry a couple of bags. Some dog owners never seem to carry one so it's nice to be able to provide one. They're probably the full bags we see hanging from trees when we walk that way again.
Seriously we do seem to have a surfeit of poo bags, left over from our last role as servants to the dog and like Brue we do find a use for them as emergency gloves.

I still find them in pockets and they do have multi uses.
I've found they’re handy on rough ferry crossings 🤢

Oh goodness, don’t remind me. I saw very little of the crossing from Penzance to St Mary’s. End of Penzance pier if I recall.........😱

restored my faith in the human race, having a dog always have a pocket full in all outside clothing, not the hanging from tree bit

There's always one, isn't there. Having SORN'd mine, I don't have the temptation to pop down the Haven as a change from my perambulations round the castle. Did wander along to Port Solent yesterday to break the monotony.

Always intrigued what people actually use those tiny pedal bins for, and where?

Used tea bags are good for round bottom of roses. They like banana skins as well☺️

Thanks for the reminder, I don't like roses in the garden but have recently bought some from my late mum's garden for sentimental reasons.
I've lost one but the others are doing ok I think. I'm keeping them in containers at the mo and the jury is out about the future 😱, sister in law dislikes them more than me 🤣.
- How many teabags per rose?
- How many banana skin per rose?
- Should I give both?
Actually I'll add this to the gardening thread too.

I was watchng the News yesterday,there was a bit on from Lulworth Cove, which was very busy ,and some social distancing?
what stood out for me was when they interviewed a family who were sitting on the beach ,the mothers comments were quite interesting? as she said they had driven over hour and a half to get there , and she was quite suprised at the amount of people that were there

We are booked to go to Cornwall on 3rd July so hope the sites are able to open and that holiday can still happen. I happened to mention on another forum we planned to go away as soon as we are able (meaning hopefully July). I did not refer to going away now or anything ‘illegal’ - the abuse and accusations of selfishness, putting NHS staff at risk etc are unbelievable. Apparently i should stay locked down until there is a vaccine.

3rd July might be pushing it, FC, as the Govt have said no earlier than 4th July for opening of the hospitality industry.

l worked for thirty one years for AstraZeneca and if they are willing to take a risk then there is a chance the drug has a chance to make it to market,l am not sure it will after working their for such a long time we saw a few drugs fail at the last step but they must have looked into the vaccine and made a cost effective decision has they are not a vaccine based company. Mainly Cancer and Heart drug company

This might go some way to addressing the OP's original points -
I've been looking for it on CAMC's website....
