    I'm off.on a long walk sometime next week. Going to walk around the outside of the island I live on. Wanted to do it for years. It is 13 1/2 miles long. But is a much longer walk than 27 miles as nowhere near a straight line. Also two nature reserves that add distance. Would guess a total of 35...

    Social distancing has been a difficult thing for some to understand. The Tories need to get a firm grip on the situation. Those going back to work need to keep their distance. Hygiene should be a must and not just a polite request. Maybe bring in temperature testing on places that employ over...

    Any rules set should be an absolute minimum. But can all companies manage the full costs of implementing all the rules. And personally I don't think they go anywhere near far enough. Look at the way you have been dealt with. Companies will do what they think they will get away with. The...

    Says the person who thinks it is OK to make a racist comment because someone else made the same comment. I'm not going to get into a battle of wits with you. I never attack someone who is unarmed.

    Good God? What an idiot you are. A racist comment is a racist comment. There is no excuse whatsoever. How about us playing a game. Fancy a game of horse? I'll be the front. You can be yourself.

    Me a fool? That is your title. So you think it is OK to make a racist comment because someone else made the same comment? You don't have to repeat the comment yourself to make a point.

    Yet you voted for a racist political party and tried to convince everyone that they were not racist whatever evidence anyone came out with.

    Will be able to pick me up from the airport when I am allowed to visit again. But otherwise they won't go far. They are planning a veggie BBQ with friends. It will be a lad that calls me dad....I call him son and his mother. Look after him when I am there. I am his father figure. They will be...

    You allowed to go far? Suppose just a walk will be great. My wife will be able to go as far as 100km next week. And she will be able to take the kids with her. They have been nowhere since the second week of March. And won't be going to school until September. Wife says the school places...

    I live by myself but have spent most of the time at work. My job is keeping our plant running so work by myself most of the time. But at least I get to go out most days and talk to wife and kids every day. And we are allowed out. That makes a massive difference.

    Saw myself how quickly it happened elsewhere. My sister has a pub in France. She found out she had to close the night before. A customer came in and told her it had been announced. Too many people ignore the mental health issues that have been caused by the virus. Too many people are starting...

    I said exactly the same when we delayed lockdown whilst sorting out financial matters for those who would need help. It is a double edged sword. Was reading earlier that people suffering issues mentally is up to nearly 50%. More severe issues is about at 20%. And we prepared better than most...

    Have had it in the back of my mind that I had it then passed it onto my wife just before Xmas. Spent days in bed which is unusual for myself. But the children had nothing. Have never had time off work for being ill. Won't know until they come out with a test that could say.

    My glass is half full. Yours is bone dry. It is good news that the death rate is about 75% lower than a week ago. It means there will be thousands less families losing a loved one each week. How can that not be good?
