    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    If its 12 weeks over here wonder how long it will be before those who are still working, even if from home, start complaining about the ones acting like they're on holiday while they still get 80% pay?

    They can't easily get rid of him before the election can they? Don't think they have anything like our vote of no confidence.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Think the media need to be a bit more mindful of how they report things. The public have a right to know what's going on obviously but at the same time there's a responsibility to avoid panicking people.

    Which raises the question when is? Its quite funny seeing people who think we shouldn't ask questions of the government and 'pull together like we did in the war'. Have they forgotten that Chamberlain had to resign? What we shouldn't have is cheap shots and point scoring, but then we need to...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    He's on the board at Wasps Lawrence Dallaglio returns to board | Ricoh Arena | Wasps Rugby Makes me wonder if there are any checks in place to ensure that the employees companies claim for are genuinely not working.

    O Hare contract

    Wouldn't read too much into him not having signed. Doubt thats the first thing on his mind at the moment! Pretty sure Robins would like to keep him and will have told him that so maybe he's waiting to see what happens with Villa and how that could impact his game time.

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Still nothing in the Telegraph but they have managed to publish this Wasps staff ordered to take three months leave but no jobs cut Sure its a shock to us all that Wasps are at the front of the queue for a taxpayer handout.

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    Weird isn't it. My Mum, in her seventies, is the first one to say don't do things to me, she was going on 3 weeks ago that I should cancel a weekend in London I had planned. But then I've just phoned her to say I've got the shopping and will drop it round, leaving it outside, and she announces...

    Coronavirus

    I've had a persistent cough for a couple of months now and some weird symptoms. Doctor couldn't work out what it was, even sent me for an x-ray to check it wasn't lung cancer! He said there was something unusual going around so who knows, maybe more people have had it than we realise. Although...

    Is that the best distribution method? Or is it a case of if you can afford one you're ok but if you're skint tough? Who keeps track of who has had a test if its order it yourself off Amazon. If you're allowing people out of lockdown are you just taking their word for it?

    I've literally just had an email from Tesco which says to go and stop in the store rather than try and get a delivery or click & collect. They don't give a shit as long as they're making money.

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    Think he's looking at the business interruption scheme. Business are being signposted to that as the job retention scheme "systems are not set up to facilitate payments to employers". The detail that seems to be missing is if when the system is up and running payments will be backdated. Would...

    Trying to get that sorted but there doesn't seem to me much detail on how to get them on it. Bit annoying as they're Sainsburys regulars so they have all their details (and by regulars I mean they go at the same time every week and buy the same things!). That would be best and then with a bit...

    Who’s at work/Not at work?

    In short the system isn't set up yet. But it looks like your employer keeps paying you but designates you furloughed so you don't actually work. Reading it sounds like you get all your salary but the employer can claim 80% from the government but I might be misunderstanding that. Edit: to...

    Anyone tried the supermarkets today? My parents are nearly out of food and in the high risk category so I'll have to go shopping for them tomorrow. Hope it has calmed down a bit. Already know if I don't get exactly what's on my Mums list she'll complain!

    Home Working Thread

    The resistance to home working is ridiculous. Quite often seems to come from senior managers who funnily enough work from home themselves, think that says a lot about how productive they are when not in the office. I work in an office on my own, just need a laptop, yet have to commute nearly...
