This horrible fecker's at it again! https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co....harwood-scrapyard-boss-tommy-smith-sentenced/
Well,not exactly him as he's in prison,but his lackeys no doubt get their orders from him while he's 'inside' to carry on the vile anti social,danger to public health, plastic coated copper wire incinerating! For the last week or so i've kept getting a smell of plastic/chemicals in the air. I've mentioned it to about 7 other people and they've all said they can smell it too.
Why am i posting this on here you may ask. Well,it's because for the first day i got a bit paranoid thinking i might have a C19 symptom,as my throat just didn't feel right. Now i know why! It's the local version of Al Capone up to his evil ways again..polluting the atmosphere! I stopped and asked a PCSO the other day who told me 'yes,he's at it again,but not as bad' By not as bad he said they aren't burning 24/7 like before. He also said the police now have to start at the bottom again in giving him warnings,then having to wait for their response,then more formal warnings and more waits for a response and so on and so on! This f..ker is public enemy number one to many around here! You'd think with C!9 going on and folk very concerned for their health, someone would just torch the bastards operation asap!!

Fingers crossed. Not easy when you can’t be there and have to deal with this stuff remotely :-/
And that's all you can do. Sending love and hugs as you sit in these times of uncertainty, @marinyork.
Slightly of topic I suppose a large car dealership is planning to reopen doors in 3 weeks. All have been shut round here in fact not many car/garages open. Seem to have a plan around the balance of using online and social distancing. I suppose if they don't open soon it will be curtains possibly for some ?
Thanks. Been kept in on a ward. Tests and observations. The medical staff again do not believe my Dad has coronavirus for broadly similar reasons I don't, as well as for medical notes from six weeks ago and tests in both time periods (some done last night and results in at dinnertime) as well as some of their colleagues elsewhere in the hospital knowing a thing or two about what coronavirus looks like in patients with similar underlying health conditions.

Today, I am mostly seething.
I shouldn't say it because some of you might be really struggling financially if you've been furloughed but right now, I'd jump at the chance.
Busy day at work and while the company have made big efforts to get staff to socially distance....some, many, possibly most , just don't get it. I don't know if it's a cultural thing, a language thing, whatever...but they're just not getting it.
I'm working on a machine, tbf my stress levels are up a bit, it's been a hard day but as I work on it, there are 4 people all within 3ft of me, offering opinions, watching, yakking away so I asked..
'C'mon guys, give me some room, we're supposed to be socially distancing '
Someone sniggered and said something in another language, one coughed, perhaps genuinely but no-one moved back.
Instantly stopped work and went off to get their supervisor..
'Can we get them something to do, they're too close, I've asked them to move away'
And so it happened but half an hour later, two of them are back so as supervisor appeared again I said...
'I'm going home...now...if I don't get some space'
And so they got shooed off again.
They're not bad folks but they just don't get the seriousness of it.
Tomorrow, I'm going to ruffle some feathers, I'm that peed off. H&S in all probability.

It seems the message hasn't gotten through. Where I work we've people from all over. There are signs up in several languages outlining the guidelines, and the leaders and shift leaders are on message and pass this on this info, and reminders when necessary. I hope it gets sorted out.

Two piss me off incidents to report. Our voluntary gardening and general tidying up,at the park up the road has been suspended. Two of the volunteers were verbally abused by a motorist the other day. According to them,a bloke wound his car window down and said they were wasting water (I didn't know we had a water shortage,says sarcastically) and not social distancing,threatening to report them if he saw them doing it again. I'd have told him to feck right off,but they're both in their late 60's and don't want the hassle. I asked for the keys to the shed that holds the gardening tools and water pipe,but they said it was best not to carry on as they feared he might phone for the police. I know the police would not bother as they aren't/weren't doing anything illegal,but they didn't see it that way.
Then yesterday as i was walking across my local cricket club's field i was followed by a pompous looking bloke who caught me up as i sat down on a bench. He said i shouldn't be on the field as i could be leaving the virus behind if i had it. That's the first i've heard of this being a possibility. I asked him why then was he allowed to walk across the field. 'Because i'm the chief executive of the club' he replied. 'Now if you don't mind,i'd like you to turn around and walk back to the entrance you came through' he said in a snooty fashion. I called him a J Arthur Ranker and carried on walking to the exit on the other side of the field. Honestly! Some idiots are just so up themselves during this crisis!

Gulp! @Accy cyclist. I read that as you sitting down while trespassing. Sitting down isn't exercise of itself - if it is, I need a medal. And everyone can leave the virus on surfaces such as when you put a hand on an armrest.
So in that bloke's shoes I might have been a lot less polite....

I sat down for a few seconds and i wasn't trespassing,as the club usually allows folk to walk on the field. He was just trying to be the 'i'm so official'. As i came back from my walk/exercise about 2 hours later i saw two blokes doing some sort of yoga on the field.

My Dad's home. He did have the coronavirus test (which surprised me) and this came back negative late last night - this sounded like a case of weekend syndrome where a lot of tests were done in batches over the bank holiday (see below).
He saw a consultant this morning and then told could be discharged. Was told it might be a few hours, perhaps from habit, then as an aside the consultant looked around and said yeah it might be a lot quicker than that! He got discharged 45 mins later and sent off to patient transport where people were kept well apart, being driven 1 person at a time. The patient transport had a lot more PPE than the ambulance the other day and was disinfecting most of the vehicle.
Mostly worried as I was the other day that he will have picked the virus up in hospital. Same ward
. Find out in a few days and hopefully not going back. The ward was 50% full apparently. Every patient without exception is being tested on there this time and a member of staff said they believe they are doing more testing than nearly anywhere else in the UK and many, many staff have been tested and were done so a while ago. A rota for testing is in existence for staff on that ward (frequency unknown but it sounds like it's every 3-4 days) which is organised by the ward manager and infection control. Apparently even ages ago when the drive pod was installed a sizeable number of staff were using it. The two people in his bay had already tested negative and being kept in for other things.
