Title: Information films on the telly about Brexit
Post by: STEMO on 20 December 2020, 20:36:04
Telling folk what to do to prepare. Every other country in Europe and some other parts of the world are cutting themselves off from us, banning flights, trains.......We are lepers  ;D
There'll be no trade any time soon.

Which is exactly what we should have done to them 9 months ago. ::)
Would have saved tens of thousands of lives in this country.

Just been having a read about this mutation, it's no fickin joke. Just a couple more tweaks and it could escape the vaccine. Eat, drink and be merry, it's later than you think.

When the dust settles, the world should make China pay for whats happened - but they wont. No-one with a pair of balls in global politics nowadays. :(

I've said all along that the Chinese virus would mutate ,we still know very little about it ,or it's long term effects.
1 in 5 with "long covid", Covid in the bowel  months after "recovery" long term effects of a vaccine
so best try and avoid catching it  ;D

maybe foreign visitors should boiled in a big vat of bleach at the airports just to be sure  ,a job for DG  :y

Well it just got to Italy. Traveller from UK is isolating. Thought you had to have a PCR test before travelling?

You assume that they didn't...

Also, the rules vary from country to country, even within the EU ::)

Testing is not going to stop it, negative one day positive the next means sweet FA it will do the rounds, another 12 months at least before any slightest piece of normality returns. The vaccine programme is a virtually impossible task, it's out of control & they've only just realised.

As I typed it did occur to me that the similarities with the US are striking... Head office proffers help and support whilst the local, er, management get to make all the difficult decisions...

Well, probably 12 months ago, when it started becoming apparent that it was real, but mostly still in Chow Mein.

And as for the train out of London on Saturday evening, well, every train company should be defranchised. WTF were idiots doing in London on a Saturday anyway?

Hello all! Well, I am back from Mallorca after being stranded there since 14th March. 6 flights cancelled since June. I was in Puerto Pollenca at the north of the island where there were very few cases of Covid. We had to wear masks at all times including walking the streets. A far better system than the UK's sloppy system. I flew PMI to LGW then INV. I had a 2.5 hour stop in Gatwick. I was not happy being there at all as quite a few people were wandering around without masks. Mostly our m/e brethren. Both flights were around 80% full and social distancing was out the window. I am now on 10 day quarantine from Thursday when I arrived up here.

On a lighter note the old girl fired up (car) first time. A bit rattly as the oilways were drained after so long. The brakes were a bit on the rusty side though.  :y :y

Thanks guys! Weather up here is crap today (Aviemore). My timing is spot on as usual! Nicola Krankie has decided to put the whole of Scotland on Tier 4 on boxing day. Here is me thinking I can get back to near normal by meeting the guys in the pub after Sunday when my 10 days quarantine are up.  :'( :'(.

Glad you made it safely back. Makes my five month exile in Yorkshire look like a weekend away . Might be a long time before you see the sun again. I wonder what tier5 will look like?

Much like Tier 4, only more. Or less. Depending on your point of view... ::)

Well, I think the government will (very) soon have no option but to remove Tier 1 and 2. And probably 3.

I suspect we can expect Uncle Boris to dither until we have no alternative but another full on lockdown though.

No idea when I will get back there. I would have stayed there but I have a couple of health issues which needs to be addressed.
I can see every country in the EU in total lockdown soon with this new strain covid virus on the horizon.

Agreed TB. What a f**kup  :-X :-X
