Lovely. I was listening to one myself only on Sunday.

Incidentally, the "Birdnet" app is great for identifying birdsong. Shazam for birds. Skylarks are fairly obvious, but I'm useless with many others.

Edit: tried it on your recording. Here you go:

Greater Manchester Police have 10% of their staff off ill or self-isolating, and this morning the Chief Constable " ....expressed despair that the force received 180 calls between 7am and 10am today to ask questions such as “‘Can I take my car for its MOT?” and “‘Can I pick my daughter up at Manchester airport?” ....

Yes I know point being it's why gloves are not a good idea at mass protection measure.
They're not a bad idea when it comes to PPE though.

I find it odd seeing shoppers wearing a mask but not gloves. How many people have pushed that trolley prior to them, or picked up and put down the stock on the shelves? Any one of them could have forgotten to cough into their elbow and used their hand as they've done their whole life. Hopefully none of them are carriers but one cannot be too careful.

UK press conference today. Nurses and doctors to get access to test kits very soon.

Mass testing by the end of the epidemic for the population. All a bit vague but there. Probably vague as don't want to be criticised in giving any numbers, especially by health staff.

My chemist has taken extra precautions since I was last in a few days ago.

It's now knock and don't enter.

The assistant was wearing a face mask - the first one I've seen deployed around here.

Another first was the absence of traffic, today was definitely quieter than it was last week.

More wide open spaces at Morrisons.

My selected parked trolley had several used wipes and paper towels in it.

The trolley was parked next to a big bin, it was that close I hardly had to move my feet to put the stuff in it.

There's clearly nothing like a mass killing pandemic to provide a good littering opportunity.

Some gaps on the shelves inside, but there was plenty of stock, and I got all I wanted.

The near empty aisles made for a more agreeable shopping experience than is normally the case.

Not much evidence in the shop of social distancing, and on the way home I saw a pair of runners and three cyclists all behaving as they usually would.

Overall, nothing that will difficult to put up with for as long as it lasts.

It's probably been said many times already but the type of questions being asked are just plain daft.It appears common sense has deserted some elements of society. The police are going to have their work cut out as it is trying to enforce the new restrictions.

I can only hope that the calls were on the non emergency police line, not 999, though I doubt it. My friend's daughter has a part-time job in a butchers. They are very busy at the moment especially with bbq stuff. If the weather is nice, I'm guessing the regs are going to widely ignored at the weekend because, well, 'It's only family coming, isn't it?'. My kids haven't left the house since last Weds and last Friday.

Anyone listening to the questions people are sending in to get answered on the BBC? Is there any common sense left out there!
