We should have had total lockdown, nothing short, otherwise we will never be rid.

Well it seems Boris has finally caught up with you - lockdown from next Wednesday from what I hear.

I think there have been two problems, quite apart from non-compliance.  One is that instead of following the science as promised, the government has been weighing the science against the economy, and the economy has been winning.  The tier system does have some effect - that is why the virus is now spreading faster in the south than in the north.  But it isn't enough, because the other problem is that although they understand the science, I really don't think they understand the mathematics. As long as R is above 1, however marginally, growth will be exponential, and to quote a recent scientist, even a slow exponential growth will overwhelm the NHS.

As for non-compliance, there must be enough people losing their jobs to double the police force, which would be better than paying people to twiddle their thumbs.

From me to you - bottom right, above the walrus.
She is leaving - bottom right.

I think sublety is not a description that can be applied to Borises tactics which include lying to Parliament and by extension the British People.

The last few days have shown that it goes even further than that, and now we know exactly how he succeeded in Getting Brexit Done when Theresa May had failed.  He simply signed an unsatisfactory withdrawal agreement with no intention of upholding it.  Pants on fire as usual.  Should have been obvious.

My story is that my wife does the shopping (except beer and cat food).

Start with 150 and subtract the number of toilet rolls in your cupboard.

One of the first places to be shut when it "hit" was {and I still can't figure out why} Council refuse sites. This coincides with the suspension of our green bin {garden waste} collections till further notice which obviously doesn't help.

Closure of refuse sites was announced on CBC website 24th March, but I can't find any mention of green bin collections being suspended, and ours was collected on 8th April.  Where have you got this from please?

No-one is supposed to leave their home except for essential supplies, medicine, medical help or exercise. 
So why are B&Q still doing click & collect?

They are planning to ban the sale of new diesel/petrol cars by 2035.  Presumably it will still be o.k. to buy second-hand ones, which will rapidly be in very short supply with prices to match!

Personally I don't like the silence.  And I particularly don't like the idea of a car moving off from a parked position without any prior audible warning that it's alive (i.e. the sound of an engine starting up).  If I had one, I'm sure I'd run over a cat within a week.
