Weird isn't it. My Mum, in her seventies, is the first one to say don't do things to me
Don't you use toilet roll? :shifty:Amen to that. I'd still stab someone in the back for some pasta, tinned tomatoes and hand gel though.
Gov't failure right here .Work for a PLC, in a division collecting and recycling confidential waste. Was off work Tuesday after Monday nights announcement and the time was utilised by senior management looking to reschedule the businesses we service.
Turns out we're defined as key workers as it's waste disposal. The waste we collect presents no threat to health or environment if left uncollected. If we turn up at a business and it's closed, it's defined as an attempt and therefore our company charges the customer for this.
The lads at the depot are outraged at the exploitation of this loop hole with the feeling the company are playing fast and loose with the health and wellbeing of their staff just so they receive payment for services that in many cases aren't fulfilled due to closures.
I'm personally terrified as an asthmatic and some of the other lads have underlying conditions too. I recently witnessed the tragic demise of my younger sister to a chest infection and know full well how hospitals simply have nowhere near the resource to deal with the pending deluge of patients...

Decent that.Got a lot of building/engineering work going on at work. The contractors have all left site because of the risk working close together. So there are some decent companies out there. They are massive contracts.
My work has sent everyone home/contacted that has underlying health issues like asthma on full pay until it is safe to come back to work. Any symptoms for everyone else and minimum 14 days off. Will keep the place running on overtime. Started 04:50 this morning. Finish Tuesday morning 5am. 72 hours in 6 days. Back Thursday morning after. We have all agreed to do our bit to keep everything running.
Easy choice though. Stay at home not able to go out or go to work and earn extra money. Think I would do it for free for the sake of my sanity as I live alone. But not telling them that.

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 she doesn't need everything on the list she gave me as she went shopping yesterday! Didn't get a very polite response form me.
My employers are always good. That is the main reason I have stayed with them for so long.Decent that.
My mother, an aunt and my sister with one of her kids. But they are not allowed to visit each other at the moment. We get plenty of visitors....or should I say we got plenty of visitors. Had someone due to turn up next week.Ah that's sad mate .
So even harder for her atm .
You've got some other family out there haven't you?
Any relief for a piss artist?Did they really call themselves a "sandwich artist"?
Don't fully understand that one. Working on a roof alone is not breaking any government conditions. As long as the owners keep away it'd OK.Yeah my brother runs a tiling business in Warwick. Usually has 6 weeks work ahead of him at any given time.
Lots of cancellations from old people who don't want him in their homes understandably.
Got a weeks work in the diary
I think he is a bathroom/kitchen tiler, he will certainly have close contact with homeowners and they might be concerned about him working and touching things/ surfaces inside their homesDon't fully understand that one. Working on a roof alone is not breaking any government conditions. As long as the owners keep away it'd OK.
Same with a gardener. You just have to avoid contact
Self-employed folks should get 80% of their previous declared tax-return.....
...So if you've previously cooked your books or not declared....then fuck you....thats karma bitch.
Had a customer who was a taxi driver and off work so tried to claim loss of earnings. He wasn't happy when I told him he'd get about £80 per week as they went off his last 3 years tax returns.
Bloke put his son through Cambridge, had 3 houses he rented out and went home to bangladesh every year for 8 weeks.
Chap next door runs a workwear and safety equipment supply business (just him and one employee). He handed out bottles of hand sanitizer to all the nearby houses yesterday.Yep, we manufacture hospital cleaning products and anti-bacterial goods. 24/7 at the moment as you can imagine, and I’ll say this, it gives enormous sense of pride knowing you’re making a difference and the workers want to make a difference. Efficiency has never been higher and stuff going out the door is the best it’s ever been.
I was working from home, but just been put on Furlough by my company, now on 80% pay.
Such bullshit. Firms should be paying the 20% themselves.
Surely it is a breach of contract to not pay the 20%?
Finally furloughed as of this evening!The C*** whose making my Son in law Go in is still at it .
Cretin.
