Covid-19

I still use Avon, when forced to select a county, which hasn't existed for 25 years. Bristol, Bristol is just stupid.

My Mum's lived in Greater Manchester for 46 years and still puts Lancashire as her address.

So do I

No-one puts Greater Manchester on their address. Even so, it is exceptionally stupid for people not to know where they live. Twitter is full of people from Stockport who still actually think they live in Cheshire.

I've just cried over my gym being closed. FFS. The towns we're surrounded by are not affected by this because they're North Yorkshire and Leeds but for some reason we're in Bradford so have to follow the rules.

Greater Manchester confuses me in the same way that Greater London does.

[H1ppychick]

A lot of websites won’t even let you do Bristol, Bristol as well. Avon all the way, baby!

This shitshow is all so badly organised and implemented; and so typical of Johnson’s government.

[Luce]

My MP is currently 86 miles away in Morpeth where he fucking lives despite pretending he doesn't. Tweeting that he'll get clarification etc. The chaotic shambles of this all isn't even a bit surprising. All towns between us and Bradford are 'open' so the lack of clarity is boiling my piss.

Surely not? Isn't it just everywhere that's in the borough of Bradford i.e. Keighley, Ilkley, Haworth etc. Who collects your bins?

[Morganna]

Can someone help me out with this please? J and his gf (C) got engaged last week :toot:. They live in Leeds but are currently on holiday in Scotland with her parents and were/are planning to visit us (usually based in Northumberland but currently in Cumbria) on the way home tomorrow to show off the ring. S and her bf (Lancaster) are hoping to join us all as a surprise if various things fall into place.

Do I put the loaves and fishes back in the freezer, or can the festivities go ahead as planned? S and I are both fairly high risk, as asthmatics.

Leeds is not on The List. Neither is Lancaster, Cumbria, Scotland or Northumbria.

Boris Johnson's latest confusing slogan. "Hands, face, space, get a test" Is he saying we all have to get tested now? I'm just seeing a summary on the news pages.

I love how it all comes down to bin chat in the end.

[Ruby]

Always bins.

Boris clearly made his new slogan up on the spot, the absolute prick.

[speedy gonzalez]

Does sound like it needs a dance routine to go with the slogan!

[Rebel Pebble]

The who can meet where and how many advice has always sounded like a bad logic puzzle to me.

If 6 people from two households and one bubble meet in a pub garden then go to Mr Brown's house and sit inside 2 metres apart with Angie from next door then what colour is Mrs Brown's dress?

OMG that slogan.

[sally maclennane]

I watched that at lunchtime and he clearly thinks its a brilliant slogan He's such a fucking shambles.

[Pippedydeadeye]

C just told me that everyone in his office is going to be given a 2m stick to keep others away. They’re deadly serious.

I hope the motion for " get a test" is miming shoving a swab up your nose until it meets resistance.

This is such a shambles.

[Morganna]

It really is. Leeds may not be on the list, but it is still W Yorks, and there will be a lot of people living there who work in affected areas and vice versa. I haven't seen or heard the news for a couple of days, as I am working and trying not to get distracted, but I put the ITV news on a minute ago, and it has been cut short because of the racing, which is clearly going ahead. There is no logic at all that I can see.

[Disco]

I called it last week when I said cases were rising generally all over. I'll bloody deal with this crisis. Get this effing gimp of my telly.
