Completely agree. Mentioned on another thread that since being furloughed I've seen a noticeable health improvement. Problem is its become the standard and 9-5 jobs are becoming few and far between. Also as they're in demand they tend to be even lower paid. Not sure how you get round that...

Agree with this. I live in Finham which is hardly the ghetto but its noticeably changed in the last 30 years. Back then virtually all houses were owner occupied and people took pride in maintaining their property. These days a decent percentage is rental and people don't take the same care. Not...

Obviously socio-economic factors play a massive part in this. However I also find in this country there's a 'nothing you can do about it' or 'its the same everywhere' attitude. Other countries don't seem to have the same approach.

The state of some of the replies to this tweet from the National Trust. Seem to recall when a statue was pulled down in Bristol we were told it should have stayed up so we can learn from history. Here's the National Trust trying to teach people using history and getting abuse for it.

Haven't got kids but if I did having seen how many issues there have been in a week of schools being open in Scotland and listened to how carefully Harries was choosing her words this morning talking about "the risk to the child themselves" there's no way I'd be sending them back. Not to mention...

This is pretty handy for finding where you are. I'll keep it full size and thumbnail it so its easier to find where you are on it.

Could not agree with this more. Always on culture is a nightmare. You can never relax. In my job there is no question you should be available 24/7/365 to respond to calls, emails and teams. All of which are installed on my personal mobile as that's a requirement of the job. You're required to...

Not sure why this is so difficult for the older generation to grasp. Had the same with my Dad who was convinced I was pissing my money away as he couldn't get his head round me having the job I have, and working the hours I do, and struggling. In the end I had to sit him down and literally go...

Was talking about this thread with my Dad last night. Checked how much he paid for their house, nice big detached house in Styvechale with a huge garden, and if the value had risen in line with inflation today it would cost less than I paid for my 2 bed terrace but in reality is worth at least...

Premier League here we come!

You can book them online for Lloyds Chemists and they don't charge you if you meet the NHS criteria.

It's the same everywhere. I'm private sector and have had one pay increase since 2008! Equates to a 22% pay cut over that time. Guess the argument is paying out for furlough is better for the economy than having millions unemployed. I've looked at my situation and if I don't go back to work...

Is it on CWR? Schedule has sport with Clive until 6pm.

Might just be giving Wilson and Billson some game time.

The genie is out the bottle now, might be hard to go back. Even if they open grounds up completely there will still be people who are nervous about going and prefer to stay at home. Are they going to turn down their money? Once things are back to normal I've never been convinced streaming has...

Think people are overcomplicating this. You can buy a season ticket which will give you access to a stream of all home games while playing behind BCD, even games being shown live on Sky. If you don't have a season ticket you can buy the stream for a single match for £10. All home games will...

If the overseas ifollow is the same as previous seasons that's a pretty big difference compared to the cost in the UK which, if it runs all season, will end up being £460.

The season ticket thing they've annouced is home games only on ifollow. You'll need to pay another £10 for every away game. If ifollow is as before its home and away (although not all championship teams are signed up). Would make ifollow the cheaper option for those 'overseas'. I'm tempted to...

Germany have extended their furlough scheme for 24 months. German finance minister, Olaf Scholz said “The corona crisis won’t suddenly disappear in the next few weeks. Businesses and employees need a clear signal from the government: we’ve got your back for the long haul in this crisis, so that...
