    I need to turn off my Ebay and Gumtree search alerts. People are obviously having clearouts while locked down but it's not as if anyone can go and collect things. Really frustrating though when something you want is local and cheap :|
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    One of our local selling sites, it call CRAP not actually selling, just swapping rubbish, has been taken off by their mods for the time. 

    Following my rant the other day about  people not ordering what they can do with out as delivery drivers have enough to do trying to get urgent medical supplies out, I see the government has put a ban on most things, thank goodness for that.

    I asked our Tesco driver what protection they’d been given, a bottle of anti bacterial hand spray!!, , that will do no good at all, so I recommended the tea towel with thick washing up liquid, he said he’d heard that the virus couldn’t survive on that so I explained it to him, he’s going to tell the other drivers about it.

    There are curfews here now because people haven't respected the STAY AT HOME rules.  Too stupid and selfish.

    Does anyone understand why we're only allowed out for exercise once a day?  I'd have thought the risk of transmission would increase in proportion to the total length of time you're out rather than how many times you leave and re-enter the house.
