    True. Perhaps we just have to accept that they exist and provide facilities

    Well if the people are going to be there anyway, the might as well open them.

    I find closing public loos unbelievable. When we went to North Wales in September, all the loos were open, even in small villages and most were clean and tidy. Some were run by volunteers which was very good of them and much appreciated.

    Absolutely - both for keeping public loos open and cleaned and also for the water blasting with pistol or hose as appropriate.

    OH's 90 year old mother got her jab/jag 8pm last night. She is housebound with cancer and yet they texted her with an appointment in a nearby town the same day. She never uses the mobile phone so wasn't aware but luckily another family member was delivering some shopping and checked the phone was charged so found the text. We had been telling her they would write to her with her appointment. Relieved that she has now had her first dose though.

    Is anyone worried about which vaccine they get?  Im getting vaccine Wednesday but don't know which one?

    I’m hoping it will be like in the snazzier hotels where they bring a mahogany box to your table full of a range of teas asking you to choose.

    A couple of friends (microbiology professor at Cambridge and mother of doctor heavily involved in Covid work) have both said they would take Astra Zeneca if they were given a choice.

    Thank goodness @steephill  😅 

    It might be worth checking that NHS contact details only contain phone numbers that are in use. 

    It’s probably quite reasonably assumed that if you’ve given your doctor etc your mobile number then it’s a phone that you use. They will only have a number if we’ve given it to them.

    Be thankful for small
    or even very large mercies. I’ll be glad when I eventuality get one, whichever it is.

    I thought that in the first lockdown when my daughter was going to drive to walk their dogs. But they had someone on the radio who basically pointed out:
    1) Chance of breakdown.
    2) Chance of accident.
    3) More travel = more filling up
    4) More travel = more use of services
    ..so their advice was to cut travel to the essential. That was still the advice even under Tier2 I think.
