A lot of my clothes are in my work locker.

Mine too....

Will you still be doing online sales?

World of Warcraft forum?

You don't need clothes to hang about at home.

Well.

The answer to that is go self-sufficient with enough food.

But yeah, this:

even when doing these activities, you should be minimising time spent outside of the home and ensuring you are 2 metres apart from anyone outside of your household.

Only enough to remain modest during video calls

I bet Mumsnet are losing their shit

You're cleverer than me! This shouldn't have happened to you!

If we close the website will be browsing only as there will be no staff to print / pick / pack etc.

Currently No update from the top!

Can't go in out of hours when nobody's about?

I went to work on Sunday evening to pick some stuff up after my unexpected bout of possible covidity.

Edit: Oh sorry you're both self-isolating, right.

I mean it is just so convenient. I wear the same clothes every day. Why can't I leave them there?
In all seriousness I do change jobs on saturday, so have empty my carefully curated locker.
(I may keep it in hope of return- it took 2 years to get the damn thing)

I mean I could. It's only an hours ride. It's sunny. People will be fine.

Online shops OK. Fulfilment centres OK as I understand it. We're not quite at the all businesses closed apart from essential which has just happened in Italy.

TBH, looking forward to getting out for a ride tomorrow after 8 days inside. Mine will be under an hour and gentle.

Yeah, she's a nurse and managed to stabilise the young'n who it turned out had an allergic reaction. I think she's more shaken by the emergency response than anything.

I take in a week's worth of clothes. Guess I times it wrong.

Phew. Lucky kid to have a nurse for a parent then I guess. Scary times.

Shocking. Glad things worked out.

Oh, I missed that.. I had kind of resigned myself to about £30k of lost turnover (I’m small scale), but with the £10k grant and 80% of salaries paid it’s not a problem..
my main concern is longer term that the economic downturn will mean people no longer have any disposable income to buy bike bits...

I did go after my self-isolation had ended and at the quietest time I possibly could.

I had left my laptop charger at work amongst other things so there was that.

Which country should I stop in then?

Same boat for us really, we’re not top tier price wise but not economy either. If everyone loses disposable income we’re not gonna last.

Will this do more damage than corona? Only booze in the house, was taken from my grandads house when he moved to a home.

@Sam_w @edmundro I was speaking to a site manager running two relatively small construction sites this afternoon. The client won’t shut the sites down because if they do they will be financially responsible to the contractors, and the contractors won’t shut the sites down because doing so could put them out of business. The big construction firms have been lobbying Govt to keep sites open. So here we are with massive sites all over London still going full tilt, hundreds of workers in close proximity to each other and, as far as I can see, not a mention in the new rules.
