Anyone still going away for New Year ?

[The general]

And to add into the mix, what difference is there to being away in a motorhome, safe site, use own facilities, and truck driver, travelling around uk, stops for fuel, stops to eat at who knows where, and then showers, all shared facilities, regardless of which their they come from, parks for night, then delivers goods and a lot of places are less covid stringent than the few sites left open.
Do you then stop this from happening ? So no foreign freight, and a loss of the supply chain ?
Sites that can be open are safer, more aware and just trying to earn a living.

All discussed before

The difference is that truck drivers are doing an essential job, not a leisure activity.
There is a risk to both but one is necessary, the other not.

Plus numbers - truck driving usually a solitary occupation, MH'ing usually couples or families.

Having a chat with a friend before Christmas, LGV driver over 200 workers in the company he works for, other than the vulnerable who are isolated 0 cases, they spend very little time in anyone's company, all documentation is now plastic covered for easy sanitisation (if not electronically forwarded) all drop off and collections are undertaken outdoors . However, they only carry their own goods so travel between company owned locations so they have control over all activities.
All food is cooked using his own facilities and personal hygiene is undertaken in the vehicle, strip washing, and as for toilets at each location (so he says)
He is missing the social side as he no longer allowed to stop at the established overnight stops where he could get a good meal.
But as with everything some companies are better at dealing with a crisis than others.

find it odd to take pictures of other peoples pitches

Don't think I said take photo of other peoples pitches... I said if so busy strange there is no other people in the back ground of the photo of your pitch.

The fact that you have to explain this, shows you are wasting your time..

Anyway, hope he is home now without contracting anything or given it to someone else.
Maybe the tier four will will keep him there now.

Picky or what?

Anyway, he said driving at 60 in the fog. Didn’t mention the speed limit or speeding. Being picky!!

No not in the least.
60 in fog in relationship to the Op is only in regard to speed & stupidity . It isn't illegal just stupid .
You'd only be done for dd if the old bill managed to see you.

Why you would think it isn't legal I have no idea? Just morally wrong the same as the OP. This is why you are looking at this nonsense for the next 3-4 years.

Glad you and your family enjoyed your trip. Wish we had had the courage to get away for a few days. It was really the weather that stopped us.

Not a fan of the Daily Fail but here is one source other papers are reporting the same

But after they were mothballed today it emerged health bosses have already started stripping the flagship Nightingale in London of its 4,000 beds, ventilators and even signs directing ambulances to wards. Photos from inside the hospital today revealed it is virtually deserted, with wards emptied of beds, chairs stacked on top of each other in storage and no ambulances outside.”

A very different story on the news today.

 

[Coolcats]

A very different story on the news today.

I see the BBC have said that the Nightingales have been re-activated and the news says


An NHS spokesman said hospitals in London remain under "significant pressure".


He said: "In anticipation of pressures rising from the spread of the new variant infection, NHS London were asked to ensure the London Nightingale was reactivated and ready to admit patients as needed, and that process is under way."

Hope everyone is keeping themselves safe particularly as the NHS is struggling without being too dramatic who the heck is going to staff these centres and hope that no one needs them....

NHS England medical director Stephen Powis has described the Nightingale hospitals as "our insurance policy, there as our last resort".

Take it from the horses mouth, a colleague who works in the ED of a hospital in the Midlands today tells of the ED full of ventilated patients waiting for an ITU bed.

If you doubt the seriousness of the situation, I can assure you it is dire, please, limit your contact with others and give it a few months for the vaccine to start working.

I mean it when I say lives depend on it.

I hate lockdown, I hate the situation, but please stick to it.

Next time it needs servicing you need to get Nanniemate to do it ... he's got a fetish for green scourers and electric toothbrushes so would be in heaven and do it for free!
