Agreed. Unpopular opinion but I have grown to love remote working. Be nice to have the option of going into the office but much prefer the flexibility. Spend two months on a beach in Mexico lol.Be good to keep some of the time saving elements of working life, especially the green one's.
Yeah it’s an interesting one isn’t it. It’s interesting how quickly people adjust to a new normal. When people get too close to me in a queue I find myself outraged and I want them to back off and give them a dirty look (quite rightly). Anxious if I have to get on a subway or train where I can’t keep my distance. Definitely won’t be getting in a crowded bar any time soonI just hope they don't rush 'normality' until everybody's ready. By all means make it lighter and lighter, let people socialise with others if they want, but don't force everybody onto packed rush hour trains etc. until it's all as good as it can get.
Yes and their translation into UK govt law will exist beyond then in any case, all that changes is thar court jurisdiction / remediesHe is right on one thing the EU regs still apply to us until January

Fully understand it’s not that way for everyone though and I’m in the minority.

Yeah. I understand letting people socialise more, and opening more business, as more get vaccinated. Until all the vulnerable groups have been given the option of being done, however, it's surely got to still be masks and distancing, and wfh wherever possible.Yeah it’s an interesting one isn’t it.

Look at you coming on here with your truths.... and your indisputable facts..... trying to ensure accurate information is shared....It is a weird flex though innit, the post truth nonsense of stick to a disproven story in the face of all sense, evidence and reality.

I’ve thought for a long time that school should start later also. Proper sleep and people would learn far better
I recon if Mhancock said the sky was blue and it’s all thanks to brexit you’d believe him.Oh this good news day just gets better.
Look how determined you are. What a wasted life you live.
I've always worked better early to early, anyway. Would have been happier when in school starting at 8, and finishing an hour earlier myself.How would this work in practice? Genuinely curious as I’ve never thought it started too early for people to get a proper night’s sleep. I mean, go to bed at a relatively sensible time (10-10:30) and you’ve got opportunity for a good sleep already surely? And given the majority (albeit a shrinking majority) of parents will start work at 9am
I’m absolutely the same. Saving me 2 hours of travel a day, plus the cost and the freedoms to exercise longer or get a head start on housework during my lunch hour. My employer has said we will largely be adopting homeworking after this, which is a relief.

I nipped up to Bedworth town yesterday, bear in mind it still has bugger all shops.......IT WAS HEAVING.Just seen the pictures from yesterday with bars opening in some places. Unbelievable to see, give people an inch and they will take a mile.
All in the opticians then?!?I nipped up to Bedworth town yesterday, bear in mind it still has bugger all shops.......IT WAS HEAVING.
Lock people up for a month and there'll always be a mad rush when you open back up.
Yeah, I was concerning myself by reading about the swine flu vaccine they developed, that caused side effects. That, however, was rushed through without the proper regulatory process. What's a few months after all, compared to a lifetime of wellness or illness?Like that. While I want to hear that they're approving them for use, I'm happier to hear nobody wants to cut corners in the process.
Sounds pretty perfick to meIf we’re resetting society, let’s keep WFH, keep masks during winter, keep people walking around their local community, keep parents being able to drop and collect their kids.
Make it all about localism. Don’t try and save city centres and big stores, help local areas have good quality independent grocery stores and butchers/grocers (is remove business rates for these sorts of business). Make them walkable/cyclable. Make spaces for co working to happen.
Let’s get back to proper communities. We won’t have another chance like this and at the heart of both left and right wing radicalism is a yearning for community IMO.

Keep masks during next winter? No thanks what's the point if by then we'll have multiple vaccines out and distributed across the world and the pandemic should be overIf we’re resetting society, let’s keep WFH, keep masks during winter, keep people walking around their local community, keep parents being able to drop and collect their kids.

To reduce transmission of all the other shitty winter illnesses?Keep masks during next winter? No thanks what's the point if by then we'll have multiple vaccines out and distributed across the world and the pandemic should be over
because other viruses existKeep masks during next winter? No thanks what's the point if by then we'll have multiple vaccines out and distributed across the world and the pandemic should be over
This was my concern as soon as the government started talking about people having to use their own sense of judgement. Seeing pictures of people queuing for hours outside Primark before it opened and pubs stretching 'substantial food' to its absolute limit hasn't eased my concerns.Just seen the pictures from yesterday with bars opening in some places. Unbelievable to see, give people an inch and they will take a mile.
In fairness though, we've never felt the need for masks in the past.because other viruses exist
Completely agree with this but suspect there will be a push to go back to the old ways. We had a meeting at work where we had to go round every person in the company saying if we preferred WFH or being in the office. Literally everyone said WFH was better for them. We then got a memo with instructions for a phased return to the office! Makes no sense, its not like work isn't being done productivity is up.If we’re resetting society, let’s keep WFH, keep masks during winter, keep people walking around their local community, keep parents being able to drop and collect their kids.

The suggestion from Hancock the other day was that we retain testing capacity in the future and use it for things like flu. A change of mindset from we must carry on no matter what to making an effort to stop things spreading around. Things like people actually staying at home if they are ill rather than going into the office to spread it around.In fairness though, we've never felt the need for masks in the past.
