Cheaper, though, if they had to claim in person.

Not to travel unnecessarily means avoid crowded trains, buses and try to dodge big lumps of people in stations or motorway caffs. I don't think you're in much danger toddling down the cut on your tod. It's a nice excuse for those who don't want to CC properly (not suggesting this is what the OP is doing!), but I don't think it will, to coin a phrase, hold water.

I got into an awful lot of trouble on YouTube for pointing out that Richard Parry knows an awful lot about trains... I mean, the idea that a team dealing with the safety of reservoirs should have an engineer who knows about reservoirs in charge of it? Ridiculous. They probably cost more than just getting some bloke to look over it every now and then... After all, that's why I've currently got the milkman fixing the oil leak in my Lister. He's only on nine quid an hour, the guy down the bloody boatyard wanted fifty!

None, but they still do. When I started work, i got paid in cash. Then was forced to open a bank account as employers were instructed by government to stop such payment. Plenty of other examples. In order for the Revenue to pay my rebate into my account instantly I have to have a passport, as I haven't, it takes 3 months to get a cheque. Morality and ethics have absolutely nothing to do with contract law, or what one person or business can do to another, which is probably lucky, really, as no two people have the same code. Contract law, interestingly (or at least I think it's interesting) is the last remnant of the feudal system which it is based on, so it's simply what the person higher up the food chain CAN do, nowt to do with should or ought.

Cows have always been hip. Fresians are positively groovey. Man.

That's all that was ever proposed. All the rest was the usual internet exaggeration, panic and misinformation. And they don't say "self-isolate". They advise staying at home. Self-isolating is shutting yourself away from everyone in a single room and not seeing anyone. At all. Staying at home is what we do normally when we don't go out. You have to remember that ninety per cent of what you read anywhere is drivel, like your bit last week about all schools closing last Friday. You do seem a little naive in what you believe, which surprises me. There again, maybe it's just fun to stir the peasants up a bit!

I understand it's going really well in Italy, Iran, Spain... Stop trying to panic us. Doesn't mention age at all. It refers ONLY to those infected who risk spreading it by behaving like idiots. Got nothing to do with incarcerating us old farts.

I'm not surprised we haven't seen the OP for a bit...
