    It is probably a failsafe @KT53 in case you mistakenly believed you hadn't heard of any of them  :D 

    So house arrest is bad enough but this 'not going shopping' sucks!  Sympathy for all those experiencing on-line shopping difficulties and just wishing Click & Collect was available to me.

    I'm miffed that my raspberries still haven't arrived. Snow is forecast soon and i won't be able to plant them anyway if they did arrive.  :/

    A total idiot ... a totally incomprehensible statement made by, as you say @punkdoc, a moron 😡

    It was embarrassing, unfounded and offensive.  He should go.

    The insinuations from both the USA and EU sounds very much like sour grapes, although Dr Fauci has since apologised.  The delay in the EU is down as much to the politics there as anything else.  Nothing happens quickly or efficiently in the EU.

    The EMA used to be based here, in fact the headquarters were right next door to, and based  on the practices of our MHRA. We were part of the EMA, and one of the leading contributors to it but then we left the EU so they had to move the headquarters. (Another unintended consequence of Br**it?) All nations of the EU could have chosen to ask for emergency authorisation but chose to act as one, this was bound to take more time. We have undertaken a rolling review process looking at the data as soon as each part was complete, so when the final data was published it was a short step to final review & sign off.  Normal practice is to complete  each phase before starting the next & then to look at all the data at the end this is what takes so much time.

    Oh no, just found out that our favourite Cornish hotel has had a 'hip' makeover and IMO now looks awful - we won't be going there again. It's such a shame, it was a beautiful Victorian hotel with views to die for and still had the original lift with the brass double doors. Happy memories. It had only just been refurbished to a luxurious standard when we last stayed - the new owners have ripped it all out.
