Stay Home

winks said:
Today’s figure of 828 recorded deaths just hospitals is equivalent to 16 coach loads of people who will never come home.

That is a further 828 reasons to stay at home.

Cheers?

And the really sad thing is that those who reckon wild camping and wandering up the hills is fine, will no doubt add to these figures, extend this mystery for us all, and probably lead to more stringent measures.

RIP all those lost souls, and my heart felt condolences to their families and loved ones.
 
Wish me luck... I have to go out in about 15 minutes! :eek: I really really don't want to but I've got to get to the local hospital to get stabbed in the eye by a hyperdermic! The injection doesn't bother me but the thought of going into a hospital voluntarily is frankly bonkers. Plus, I'm not allowed to drive after it and obviously can't ask anyone else to drive me, so I've got about an hour's walk each way and there'll doubtless be a lot of other people out exercising in the glorious sunshine we've got. Anyone else find they don't see faces any more, just images of that spikey virus 🤪

Loins girded... stand aside folks, I'm going out and I may be a while 😭
 
Good luck Jenny/Jennie. You will obviously take care. But not nice...Hope it rains for you !

Stabbed in the eye!!!! :eek: anything to do with eyes makes my knees go funny, I couldn't even go through the eye test where they bring that machine right up to the face. Yeah, I'm a wuss!
Good luck Jenny, stay safe and as Yorklass recommends, take sunglasses.

Possibly local authorities or the government should issue vignettes or warrants which could be displayed on vans where the owners have nowhere else to go.
Or even better why don’t the two big organisations offer free access to their campsites to full timers. It’s important that these people are catered for. And it’s also important that the selfish idiots who are not full timers can be easily identified.

This has already happened with the Caravan Club as was (Caravan and Motorhome club).
Don't know if it's free, but there are definitely fulltimers staying at their club sites, all correct and above board.

My information is first hand from 2 friends who work for Caravan and Motorhome (staying in their caravan on one of the northern club sites).

Interesting; they own a city centre flat but were not occupying it when lockdown was introduced.
Looks like they did the right thing. They would have been stuck up on the first floor with no outside space otherwise. Serendipity?

Ta Marie, good to hear that. Makes sense their sites are empty.
i suppose a small fee for the water and chemical waste would be fair.
But I and others are standing by them by renewing our membership.
its only right they do right by us.

I'm a member, but it's been a long time since we used any of their sites.

TBH they appear to have been pretty badly managed behind the scenes the last few years.
They're a very 'top heavy' organisation and have latterly made some pretty stupid moves re organising & running the sites.

Maybe this crisis will separate the wheat from the chaff and get rid of overpaid management freeloaders?
That's if the club is still in existence when we all eventually get to move about again.
 
The CMC have allowed members to go on CLs as well as main sites. Two of my friends are on CL sites they got by contacting the HO when they came back from Spain. They are paying the CL owner the normal site fee. They are both being well looked after by the owners.
 
In the sunny south the police are out in force.

Most carparks near beaches are closed or partrolled and this also includes carparks in
the new forest area.

We read tales of motorhomes and caravanners being stopped and ordered to return back oop norf
on all the major roads heading south.

Hopefully the message will sink in eventually.

Just walked across the M6 in south Lancashire and there were mainly commercial vehicles, if there had been no CV then three lanes either way would have been really busy.
 
Just sprayed drivers side this morning,now what do i do for the rest of the day. :unsure:

I've just come from a walk in the local park and saw five police cars drive past in the short time I was there. I don't see that many police cars in a month normally. They may not be doing too well on the real crime scene though. A pub, village hall and a local Co-op completely looted in the last few days.

Hmm. That's what I imagined in the back of my mind when this thing really kicked off.

Lots of shutdown premises, but no time to have disposed of goods/items stored?
Not everyone will have full security on premises? And if they do and the security systems alert police stations, how long before police can respond right now?

One half of the country in lockdown, the other half working their socks off.

Ergo: no one other than the police out and about and they can't be everywhere...?

Doesn't take hardened crims, or just new opportunists, very long to realise the situation and take a calculated risk.😕😒
