I reckon there will be some ingenious ways devised to celebrate but still comply with the new regulations.

Next item on the list of items bought to excess.

Well, made sandwiches for lunch tomorrow and will pitch up at work tomorrow morning as I am clinically well. Not sure what I'll be doing as activity in the department seriously curtailed midday Friday.

At least I could understand that one.

They get to the till and are told "No more than two of the same item".

That won't end well in some of the more salubrious areas of Glasgow let alone the old country.

Like crossing the imaginary border ?

Some think so

Out of interest, does anyone know how many MPs (including the outgoing Leader of the Oposition which will please some people) will be covered by any potential requirement to self isolate for the over 70s? How will this affect the running of Parliament?

This was the list for the last parliament:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_MPs_by_seniority_(2017–2019)

There were 37 who would now be over 70, but some left parliament at the election so we can assume it is less than 37

And the answer is...

23

It’s a respiratory thing ( at worst ) not dysentery. Unless you cough so hard you crap your pants, why the rush on bog roll.

Thanks both, I've just found the current list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_Kingdom_MPs_by_seniority_(2019–present) and it's not as 'old' a Parliament as I expected. The House of Lords on the other hand...

I do think that the UKs present policy of focusing on 'herd immunity' and letting tens of thousands of people die is a cover story whilst preparations are made for a lockdown much as what you find in the rest of Europe.
