How's your lad @Lancs Lad ??

He's still got temp, come down a bit now, deffo not right and moaning of headache etc. Not been out of bed since Sun. If anyone knows 7 year old you know thats not right. He's normally in my workshop up to no good...
So dunno if it's "it" or what but we've never seen one of ours out of action this long before.(from just a temp)

Government are apparently going to crack down on people blatantly profiteering from coronavirus although won't be the pharmaceutical companies

be lucky if he don't get lynched or torched ..... robbin' fkr

a bit of a different twist on things but I got my first enquiry due to the virus, the customer was going on holiday now it has been canceled he wants to spend the money landscaping the garden. first for me anyway.

from friends on Maskinisten last night ... Sweden ...
TV " said on the news 1000 and perhaps more infected, 8 dead.
12 in intensive care. " ...
their population is a mere 10 M ...0.0001% infection rate, with a 0.008% mortality rate of those infected and 0.0000008% mortality in the entire population ..... they're well behind 'the curve' / predictions

Unusually ... still no word from Frank in Norway ??

we are currently getting canceled deals due to the virus. Causing a right pain as we have underwrites too for new dealers.. brutal

friend in Slovenia last night .... population 2.08M

"Corona stopped our life. Bars, restaurants everything closed. Just food stores open. For now we can still work but just small things (no material to get)...
1 dead from outbreak .. 270 confirmed cases "

well ahead of Wales with a similar population of 3.1 M -- 1 dead 124 confirmed cases

Yeh, heard the same from a few people, skips have gone through the roof, and apparently B+Q and the like are doing very well.

just closed all schools across Wales as of Friday pm, at the latest, bringing forward the Easter holiday closure.

paint is in short supply apparently, according to Pam's neice yesterday, who was shopping for the same .. planning on decorating the house whilst they're both 'off' self isolating .... she teaches and is pregnant ... will keep them occupied

In the last hour I have heard from sources in Police, RAF and NHS that they are to be prepared for lockdown from tomorrow. The don’t think it will be tomorrow but the Government has obviously pushed the alert button so it would guess announcement at 5pm of school closures from Friday and lockdown announced at the weekend.

Jesus, might do the same tomorrow. Dont fancy leaving my kit alone on site for extended periods. The only fuckers not holed up will be the pikys. Its going to be open season for them.
