I've just clicked on the B&Q site and a message popped up to say I was in a queue and will have to wait 10 minutes to get fully on the site.

Strange times.

You were lucky. I tried the other day and was told the virtual queue contained 387,251 and would be over an hour.

Does anyone wonder when Boris is going to come out of hibernation and faces up to his responsabilities?

Then the rules will have to be made clearer.

Or you need to better understand the rules.

When he feels up to it and his doctor clears him to I should think
He‘s hardly hibernating

The NPCC document outlined some DIY tasks are “likely” to be reasonable.
The document says “buying tools and supplies to repair a fence panel damaged in recent bad weather” is likely to be reasons.
The NPCC has said “buying paint and brushes, simply to redecorate a kitchen” is “not likely to be reasonable”.
Essentially in terms of home improvements, the new guidance is that “the regulations specify maintenance and upkeep. This does not extend to renovation and improvements.”

I hope they are OK, Phil, and get better soon. I also hope you stay safe and well

Please thank them for all they are doing - our NHS staff are precious.

Thanks. She is one of those keeping the essential IT systems up and running which shows you don't have to be at the cutting edge to be at risk.

The same document that says it is reasonable to be buying food for several days...ie not going every day?

FFS Accy, buy the paint brush and eat it.

What if doing something useful and constructive is essential to your mental and spiritual well-being?? I can't believe HMG is so sadistic as to expect us to endure TV during all our waking hours.

Exactly. There is a great danger that by being so prescriptive and restrictive they are making the perfect be the enemy of the good.

The way to get the best fish is to order haddock. They cook it fresh to order. Also its important that your chip supper is served in a box, none of that paper bollocks that steams it to death.

The measure of a chippy is the quality of its chips.
My favourite is Papas on the quay in Sandwich. Awesome and always busy.

Crispy battery and crispy edged chips.

We normally have Haddock but in lockdown they are sold out by the time we eat.

I agree there. I was only having a little laugh about the paint brush thing(even though i meant it about hating d.i.y and finding an excuse not to do it),but some decided to take the 'you're not allowed to buy a paint brush' to heart. If painting your bathroom and kitchen etc makes one feel better then so be it,but it's not for me!

It's a difficult one. My need to make stuff to stop me going bonkers is really no more worthy or essential than somebody who feels he has to drive 200 miles to do donuts in his 4x4 in a national park.

Edit: I've just discovered that "w#nkpanzer" gets sanitised to "4x4". Well I never!
