Sadly yes

Other half works in a school and catches everything going all year.
EDIT : Checks which forum this is in.. Ah.. Ok not everything....

Gonna have to do a search and look in to this further.

Haha, only sad if you're on the Dickie Bird estate. Some nice parts of Bury.

Some nice parts of Bury.

Yes, when I’m in Bury I like to head out to my favourite part - Jn 2 of the M66.

I was thinking more of Holcombe Brook and its surrounds. Thank heavens you don't hang around long though.

This virus is a double edged sword for the Tories. On the one hand, it provides an opportunity to clear out the Lords and instill more of their own cronies, reduce state benefit liabilities, reduce the pull on the NHS (in the long term), give the an excuse for the poor state if the NHS (in the short term), distract from the shambles of EU negotiations.

But the other side to this is they risk losing a proportion of their key vote demographic.

I'm in a low risk group ... I have my order of popcorn in to see how the clown deals with this

Yesterday I got a text from my kid's school - "Please check your email about the upcoming parent teacher conference"

I check my email, it says "please open the attached pdf for important information about the impact of corona virus on parent teacher conferences"

So I open the pdf and it says "Because of the corona virus, there will be no hand shaking at the upcoming parent teacher conference"

FFS!
