Saintslass Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 The UK rolling average for deaths has finally fallen to below 100 and cases to under 600. That is to 4 July, according to the Gov.UK website dashboard thingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 A few cases in Canberra now, the first in over 30 days. A few 20 somethings returned from a Melbourne hot spot and thought they’d just go to the local shops and markets. As a result, the easing of restrictions tomorrow will no longer go ahead.

Bedford Roughyed Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivans82 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 6 months down the line shops are back open , some cafes and restaurants are slowing getting there , pubs are open , .......but still hardly any public toilets open . I have talked to all ages of people and this seems to be the forgotten area , it deters people from travelling very far and it doesn`t make much sense when people who use pubs have toilets available , but people going shopping or having a cup of coffee have nothing .

Damien Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 This is probably as good a thread as any to ask this, has anyone come across any good places to get decent cloth face masks? There seems to be a huge variance in cost and quality so was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. Similarly when it comes to disposable ones, any recommendations there? A lot of reviews on the likes of amazon etc seem very hit and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some disposable ones on B&M, box of 25 for £13 I think it was which I thought was rather steep but they were the only ones I'd really seen up to when I bought them. They were fine, as good as you'd expect disposable face masks to be, felt a bit flimsy and thin, almost felt like I might rip them by just stretching them too much, but as I say, not gonna expect much more from disposable ones. I went in Savers a couple of weeks back, they've got washable, reusable ones for £3 each so got myself a couple of them. They're decent, thick cloth, multi-layered and comfortable. Seem to do the job well, I'd say maybe have a look for them. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of reviews on the likes of amazon etc seem very hit and miss. I've been searching the last couple of days, and ended up just getting a bundle of those lycra-type material ones, I've been using them so far and they have done for quick half an hour trips to the shops. I've spent about £18 on Groupon to cover our family of 3 with a few masks. Since I have searched online though, quite a few cool ones have come up on Facebook, from clothing suppliers usually, and some of them look pretty nice - I'm just not that bothered to pay the more expensive price. So my advice, do a search on google, then go onto facebook and see the sponsored ads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three bottles on a Friday, placed in a small bin (former plant-pot holder) by the back door. I caught the fox at 6am. The bottles were below the lip of the bin but it had got through the foil on one and dented the other two. There are two buckets full of rainwater on the patio so the fox wasn't thirsty. I reckon some stupid tree-hugger has been feeding the foxes with milk. Now I'll have to get plastic cack from the supermarket. It's not as if I haven't got anything else to complain about.

ivans82 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Further on the question of toilet availability the Government is actually actively encouraging Local Councils to get their Public toilets open as a matter of urgency so as to provide toilets as well as hand washing facilities to stop the spread of the virus , the Councils in my area are choosing to ignore this advice , and we have at present one toilet open in the Town centre and i mean one toilet not block of toilets , pretty pathetic for a Town of 30,000 people .

Hastings has reopened most of its toilets but the council is now also looking at a covid-related deficit of £5m. In the scheme of things, I'm more annoyed about the latter than in the sluggishness of the former. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Dave T Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I went into Tesco today. I've been wearing a face mask every time I've been in for around 6 weeks or so now. I'd say around 10% normally wear one too. Today, now it is the rules to wear one in shops, pretty much everybody wore one. Staff, shoppers, everyone. No big deal, everyone cracked on and did what was asked of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
