Then in which case we're buggered really. There's no hope testing will be able to cope with everyone who has a cough a month or so from now. Cases where people actually have COVID will not be discovered and it'll run rampant throughout the population.

Are the testing problems being mirrored across Europe? The UK has tested twice as many as France & Italy, 50% more than Germany too so how are we being so swamped? My facebook feed is full of people getting upset because they can't get a test and i'm in an area where we had 26 cases out of a...

I was sat upstairs watching MTV2. Eventually I wandered off downstairs to find the rest of the family sat watching it on the news. I then watched the live aftermath until the very early hours in absolute disbelief. There's often 9/11 related shows on the various History TV channels and still now...

Are we beginning to lose control again, like France and Spain to name just two? Test and trace seems to be stuggling and the less they manage to trace the more cases are likely to go up. As cases go up they will have more contacts to trace which in turn could swamp the system and we'll be back...

Rain forecast for tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Mine's only 9 months old but there is no way she will be able to eat whenever she feels when she is older. he is fed at the same times so she's getting into a routine and at the moment half of what she has is what we have (less the salt and sugar), and half is healthy organic baby food. My wife...

Yes, I've been hearing this a bit recently. I suppose it depends on the timescales being used. Testing has noticeably risen compared to say June and July but the amount of testing has been very similar throughout all of August so I'm not sure that's actually correct. We are seeing a slight...

When I first saw the question I thought it would be a faily easy answer but i'm really struggling. I want to live through a time where medicine is good and life expectancy is high, so that rules out anything before 1900. I'm a lover, not a hater and would never want to live through or fight in a...

I went into my local shop last night and there must have been around 20 people coming and going whilst I was in there. Only 1 person had a mask on. There used to be a 1 in 1 out system but everyone's back to coming and going as they please. It's very much back to normal. I'm not sure what to...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-northamptonshire-53762233 300 positive tests in a sandwich factory in Northampton. All of whom work there so I would guess there will be plenty of family and friends also being confirmed in the next few days. Off the top of my head we've had breakouts in...

The biggest number since June 26th I think.

I'm 500% up online which sounds lovely but realistically I've gone from taking peanuts to 5 times as many peanuts. Over the past 3 months I think many older people in particular have discovered the internet it pretty handy for shopping. I'll be surprised if high street footfall gets within 15%...

A 2% online tax will make no difference to the high street whatsoever. It's a money maker, one of many that will undoubtedly be rolled out in the next few months to start paying for the past few months. Does anyone else work in retail? I see the national footfall is around 40% down year on year...

The mind numbing profession of selling greeting cards. The place I worked for treated me like shit for around 5 years so decided to start up myself. My wife previously worked for said company and had a misscarriage at work and had to go to the doctors so I went over to cover. The area manager...

Never been sacked but been threatened many times in the past in my old job. Things really came to a head when my area manager decided I had opened a rival store selling the same type of stuff about 100 yards away. He had no proof abd threats of the sack then turned to threats of demotion, then...

I've just had a bill from EDF. £527 in credit and they are lowering my monthly direct debits to use it up. Only problem is the original direct debit is too high despite my telling them and the new amount is around what I usually use so the credit is never going to be used up. To be fair if I...

Pwllheli by any chance?

I think the Welsh announcement gives us a pretty good idea of what Boris will say tomorrow. Very little change and another 3 weeks of it.
