EmilysDad here in the east, Norfolk mostly, there have been outbreaks at meat processing plants. It is reported signs are not always clear for the majority of employees who don't have English as their first language, insufficient space to socially distance and live in multi-occupation households, generally where they travel in in shared transport.
Hope this helps.

I've been going to work every day since this all started, as has Emily & her Mum, though I was tested positive 2 weeks ago so none of us were allowed out. We have now been the go ahead to leave the front door & I was at work yesterday. My point was really at Fisher who seems to want the World to stop and everyone to stay inside & not move, yet still want to be able to eat etc which means that some of us have to leave their house to go to work to make or transport it all.
If you consider Wiginese as a form of English 😉 (Only kidding AnneB) we all speak English, the factory is MASSIVE so allows for plenty of social distancing, yet there has recently been a number of cases .... who knows why?

Miserable couple of days here weather wise, we have just stayed home and kept warm. We need to buy some oak skirting for DD, but it has to travel on the roof of the car, so we cannot do that until we get a dry day.
We had her on face time yesterday, in tears, as she cannot find her wedding ring. Apparently she took it off at some point in the last 10 days as she had a sore finger, placed it on her desk where she works all day (at home), and now it has disappeared.
Callum is the main suspect, he has probably seen it and carried it off somewhere without her noticing, but how do you get a 2 1/2 year old to tell you where he has put something!?
She asked him if he had moved it and he said "Yes" , but whether he really understood what she was asking is another matter.
She has frisked the study, had me open the washing machine pump and sink U bends, checked the bins, looked through some of his boxes of toys, and will gradually search the rest of the house. Not an easy task in a big place with a multitude of cupboards, drawers and hidey-holes he could have put it in. She does not even know what day it might have disappeared as she cannot remember what day she took it off, only that it was after 16/10 and before 26/10
It was an expensive ring, so we are wondering whether her home insurance would cover this sort of happening.

And complaining about how crowded it is yet I didn't spot any mask wearers.🤷🏻♂️
There were quite a lot of MHs on the road today all heading westwards.

TW. I heard a family speaking to the reporter that they were masked up because it was so crowded. The herding instinct still on full power! I feel we have a funnel effect down here, so many other places off limits. One visitor said they were here because it wasn't so bad (Covid) in the SW. After half term I hope we get a chance to breathe again!

Ah, I missed that bit.
We're less affected than many places but, even so, rates are rising and there’s a suggestion that Plymouth may shift up to Tier 2.
Meanwhile, Treliske Hospital in Truro saw ambulances queuing outside A&E🙁

There’s definitely something going on in SW area. It’s consistently shown the highest R range for a while now, currently 1.3-1.6. England average is 1.2-1.4. ☹️

There was a spike in Exeter but it was within the university population and, to a much lesser extent, the same in Plymouth and Falmouth. Other than that, I don’t know what's going on. 🤷🏻♂️

It’s the thought that counts🙂 and, no, not as good as they were.

Not here though, JVB, the site was full last night, although there appears to be a few empty pitches tonight.

On the BBC news a guy spoken to in St Ives said he was from Bath and it was very busy with people not seeming to be bothered about distancing.
My Grandson laughed when, in unison, my wife and I both said "well why don't you go back to Bath then"
Maybe he is related to the woman who complained about how busy the beach was at Durdle Door..............as she sat on it.
