That's elevensesIf you want, but you've got to eat something in that awkward period between 10:30 and 12

That's a good shout.What supermarkets should do is make up hampers of food & basics for different sizes of families and sell them instead of individual items for now. That will keep it fair
NI Civil servant here and we are the same, would probably get 5 days paid special leave but that would be maximum at a push.Basically in my place of work, if you've got someone at home who is high risk like I have, my choice is statutory sick leave, unpaid leave, annual leave or quit. I work in hospitals across Northern Ireland.
I would imagine most places would be the same.
I normally have 12 weeks full sick pay, but if I where to take off it wouldn't be because I'm sick
Morrisons seem to be setting up some standard packs for home delivery. They say it'll make it easier for people to order by phone. It'll also mean they can put the packs together in their warehouse quickly rather than having single orders picked.What supermarkets should do is make up hampers of food & basics for different sizes of families and sell them instead of individual items for now.

I advise everyone to avoid this thread
Would this be a good moment to talk about Scottish country dancing?We used to have school dinner ladies as well, even made TV shows about them...

I just did Asda. Saw a little old lady with 6 bottles of bacardi. No idea if anyone dared try and tell her to put some back.I dropped my girlfriend to work this morning and thought I'd nip into Sainsbury's as it was nice and early (8am) and I assumed they'd have stocked overnight and we've had 3 failed shopping trips in the evenings this week.
It was absolutely packed. Busier than I have seen it on any Saturday morning and the shelves were already empty. Some really weird rules though. The woman in front of me had 5 frozen bags of veg: 1 chips, 1 carrots, 1 green beans, 1 peas and 1 broccoli/cauli mix and the lady told her she had to put two of them back. Absolutely baffling. If you're buying fresh vegetables are you only allowed 3 different types of vegetables? If you get loose potatoes are you only allowed 3 potatoes? Is two potatoes and two carrots too many?
It's never a good moment to talk about Scottish country dancingWould this be a good moment to talk about Scottish country dancing?
Unfortunately the father of a friend of my wife died yesterday.Ah ok so it's deaths taking place in nursing homes they are not testing. Some are likely to be virus related but a lot won't be.
It does not surprise me if they are doing this though, and i bet other countries are or will be doing it too. All along the government has been getting annoyed that Italy is testing so many more people than anybody else in Europe and it's making the picture look worse.
BreakfastAbsolutely, let's say it right for once.
Chunks of steak in a tin can be used for stews and casseroles, mince in a tin can be used for cottage pies, corned beef can be used for all sorts. Tinned veg obviously, but frozen is better.Is there any food items that are fair game to stock pile? Couldn’t help but notice the ‘burgers in a tin’ were basically untouched in Farmfoods... not sure why, they seem suitable as they’ll last a while.

There's no reason to stockpile. Just buy what you need as usual.Is there any food items that are fair game to stock pile? Couldn’t help but notice the ‘burgers in a tin’ were basically untouched in Farmfoods... not sure why, they seem suitable as they’ll last a while.

You shut your face.Tea is a drink, not a food.
Stupid Brits!
funny thatIs there any food items that are fair game to stock pile? Couldn’t help but notice the ‘burgers in a tin’ were basically untouched in Farmfoods... not sure why, they seem suitable as they’ll last a while.

Pretty much what the general thought process was, question still is does milder/no symptoms make you less contagious or indeed not contagious at all?Just published, an analysis of Covid in children based on data from Wuhan

@Grinner can you advise me where I can find a well-hung boyfriend to satisfy my urges?
Was only joking, I’d never do that. I wouldn’t even make it past the queue to get in. I hate queue politics. I’d somehow get there first but literally let everyone go before me in fear of feeling like I’ve cut someone up.There's no reason to stockpile. Just buy what you need as usual.
You never been on a building site? We’ll look for any excuse for a break!What an absolutely ridiculous word
Because you travel all around the Europe a lot all the time, you should know a guy or two!i'm sorry but I have no suggestions for this. Why would you ask me that?
I'm not sure where the confusion is coming in here.Pretty much what the general thought process was, question still is does milder/no symptoms make you less contagious or indeed not contagious at all?

The problem is mate that in the UK at the moment you can’t buy what you need because inconsiderate cnuts are emptying all of the shelves.There's no reason to stockpile. Just buy what you need as usual.
The last paragraph, they are clearly asking that very question.I'm not sure where the confusion is coming in here.
Isn't it fairly well accepted that the asymptomatic are infectious and that those who've been infected can infect others before their symptoms show?
I know you've got this idea that it 'dies' in kids and they don't transmit it but I've not seen this anywhere else apart from your posts (granted I could be missing something)
They did the same in Ireland last week, when school closures were announced. Turns out there’s only so much people can panic buy and the supplies keep on coming. You can expect shelves to look less and less bare as the days go by.The problem is mate that in the UK at the moment you can’t buy what you need because inconsiderate cnuts are emptying all of the shelves.
So mature, well done. Thought you were well over 40, and not 16 years old.I've only had success with your mum. But the queuing became a real drag.
I was just almost sick in my own mouth remembering the one time I tried burger in a can. Thanks for that..Is there any food items that are fair game to stock pile?

They've acted really quickly, sending an announcement round to everyone and going straight into lockdown with police on the street. My mother-in-law has more food in the house than anyone I know, so they could last years on those supplies.Cases in Mauritius @Jippy
