Yes, the good folks at the receiving end of Mr & Mrs Windsor seemed to appreciate the recognition and that’s what matters.

And what better way to travel ,in one security checked covid clear? formi also of transport rather than have to have many places cleaned and security checked
But in my early years of working in the railway industry ,I am also aware (i dought it has decreased) what is involved when the royal train is in use on the network with special coding and back up that only very few have access to

During these dangerous times we all need to remember to practice safe six.

I wonder if the "self isolators" are aware? just been sent email from our local police liaison officer,adviseing that the county,/borough new support team? are "visiting" those who are supposed to be isolating,if not contactable by phone,without prior notice

I heard a similar story. Someone was supposed to be self-isolating, so they got a ‘visit’. When no one answered the door, this individual got a phone call asking where they were. “I’m at home” was the reply. “We’re at your front door”, was the response...

I have it on good authority that the Royals have spent many a night down the years quietly holed up on the train, behind what was our old B&Q🤣

She’s well known around Yorkshire for sure👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I saw it, the resorts up here are asking the FB to allow skiing as its outdoors and low risk. Guess they didn't see about the super spreader.
The skiing bit is fine, used to enjoy it every winter, its the bit before and afterwards that cause the issues just now.
I agree not just the UK breaking rules its human nature if you can find a way to bend the rules and justify why you are doing something you will. Doesn't make it right though.

When occupied the train is normally put into sidings with a barrier of other vehicles either side .and security on duty all night arround the train,but with it being a train there is very little "rocking" and it has its own power supply in the generator vehicle and complete on board staffing

With regard to your last para, TG, I agree some will do as you suggest but it's not in everyone's nature to bend rules and certainly not in mine when the rules are there for such a good reason - to keep us safe.

I am hoping that they use the drive through method that was so brilliant when we had our Flu Jab here. Given a time, drive up, mask on, ID checks done, allergy questions answered, then jab and go. Marquees are still up🤞

Not QUITE the present procedure, Ttda, 'cos they give you 15 minutes or so after the jab to see if you have any reaction -- a couple of, I understand, N H S staff shewed signs of vaccine 'shock' altho they were already known to react to some things. They were carrying the "Pen" type epinephrine (
I think ) so were swiftly restored to the rudest of rude health !! And Vaccinated too, There's clever 1 -
Also features in the drive thru model, but in the case of flu jab, for first-timers only I think. I was asked to drive to the edge of the car park, wait 10 mins and sound car horn if I felt unwell in that time.
My local NHS utilised the vast empty Eden Project car parks and clearly has the potential to process thousands of people a day.

I think you're right about first timers, SB. In that same car park, OH and I were free to leave as soon as we were jabbed.
There was a suggestion of the same set up being used for the covid vaccine but we now know of the tricky storage involved so maybe it won’t be at Eden after all. We'll find out in due course.

Today they've moved a marquee from off the hospital car park near us, where it was a nuisance, to a roadway which will allow a proper drive through, so it looks as if that's the plan for here.

It worked well for the flu jab. I took Mum through it another day (by appointment) for her jab. The last thing I want to do is have to go into a hospital, or a Doc’s surgery for it, better out in fresh air👍😁

That’s good to know ABM. Stick around to check all ok. Anaphylactic shock is awful, one of our neighbours suffered terrible, found her crawling to our door one morning. Three epipens did nothing for her, latex allergy. 😱

My only allergies are hayfever and a suspected nickel allergy. Hoping that when they get down to giving me a vaccine that it won't make a difference - I'm sure it won't. Although when I've had shoulder and knee replacements, they've always used non-nickel prostheses, to be on the safe side.

I had never seen anyone before with such a severe allergy DSB. She was apparently minutes from death when the Ambulance finally arrived, and sadly, it’s just one condition that now has her virtually housebound at times. I do know of someone who died from a wasp sting, again severe anaphylactic shock.
When we had our Flu jabs, the nurses were careful to ask us if we had any issues with eggs, I think they are used in some vaccines.
We had an Airedale who was stung in the mouth by a bee, she went into anaphylactic shock. Whisked off to vets, one quick injection, 30 seconds later the mischievous little pest was fully restored and up searching for more mischief😱

I see there is a report out that the concern, shared by a few on here, that homecoming students would cause a wave of infections could be completely off with one university showing only a 0.2% positive test rate.
