That cost is awe inspiring.
It didn't work well in Oz either because of the uptake was too low.
It did (still is) work well in places like South Korea

It never was going to work here . We far to polite to make it work . There’s nothing quite like looking down the barrel of a gun to get you to focus on doing as your told . We just don’t work like that .

it was only going to succeed if everyone had the necessary to make them trace-able ... neither of us has 'net access on our mobiles --- SWMBO still uses a button jobby .... and there must be millions like us .... with no desire or interest, to be trace-able 24/7/365
I interact with the 'net when I choose to - not when Big Bro summons me to listen

I would not down load the app so they can trace me,I might have some things I would prefer not to be known by all and sundry it pisses me off that most car parks in suffolk you have to put your reg no in so if you are out of your area the police know your movements .
They bought that in middle of pandemic to keep a check on car movements

JD who told you
the bit which piss me off is the fact they are all connected to each other if you take the free 1/2 hour in one car park you cant go to a differant car park and get another free 1/2 hour in another town

you're lucky ..... no such thing here ...... min 2 hrs, even if you're gonna be 5 minutes ....... hence folks used to pass tickets on, resulting in reg. no.s being required

The free half hour is something bought in to try and combat the free parking at suparmarkets to give the indie shops a bit of a chance Talking of indie see Wales is trying for indie like Scotland think you will need a better leader than the one you have got

2hrs free at the super they opened smack ctr of town has completely ****ed their parking income, from all but tourists and there ain't been many o' them recently .... couple of others give 1.5hrs so between 'em the locals can shop and go, gratis ..... nothing more than they deserved, corrupt ba****ds!!

Denmark has suspended AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine over concerns about blood clots

A few other places too
Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Luxembourg
Looks like there may be a bad batch

Covid-19: Several European countries suspend AstraZeneca vaccinations over blood clot fears

Several European countries have suspended all or part of their AstraZeneca vaccine roll-out as a precaution while they investigate concerns relating to blood clots, but French and EU regulators say there…

like I said " we're up to 20 odd million guinea pigs ATM ..... see how they are/have fared in 12 months time " the article seems inconclusive really and the telling phrase in there is it's no higher than would normally be expected in that number of folk, so impossible to distinguish between coincidence or caused by .... 300 deaths'd have been a bit different to ignore

Had the vaccine this evening,wasn't particularly bothered either way,spent last year working,been lucky to avoid catching covid,but in the last week,few things added up to make me book it,friends abroad desperate to get it,south East Asia have 4/5 day waiting times to get into hospital,even with covid,some places you have to pay just to sit in a and e waiting room!
The potential for shortage late on in year and mostly,after avoiding covid this far,be daft to knock vaccine back,catch covid now?
Still believe it's down to individual choice,but reckon vaccine toll out one thing government has got right ?

Proud of the country for the role out of the vaccine, its some setup
