Not still here now though is he?

I’ve flown light aircraft into continental airports and they didn’t seem to have a system for such arrivals. I’ve gone into the terminals through side doors and climbed over baggage check-ins to get to the main concourse. I’m sure systems are more rigid nowadays. It was trickier to get back to the aircraft though!

The World Health Organisation are looking at the possibility of e-vaccination certificates. You can be sure that there be some certificate of vaccination given. You will need some sort of proof to identify you and qualify you for your second vaccination. It will all become clear over the next few days. I’m sure airlines won’t let you on board without some evidence. Edit: At present hospitals will be giving patients a card to remind them to come in for the second vaccine. Presumably after the second one there will be a more rigorous method of proof instigated.

It was the Council who permitted it on Council land so they are responsible. Mellors hoped to make some money out of it. I don’t think they were being altruistic in bringing Christmas joy to the people. The Council may be in in for a large compensation claim though but that will come from the council tax payers and not out of their own pockets.

Apparently a certificate of vaccination is to be issued so it will be up to the other party to ask for that proof. You could possibly fabricate a false one of course. My son used to make proof of age documents for his sister many years ago. I still have the laminating machine!

So the Christmas market will not reopen. Who's going to accept responsibility for that short lived fiasco?

We’ll never really know but we’re opening the floodgates for a few days over Christmas so we’ll have to see see what January brings. If the regulations weren’t relaxed some people would have ignored them anyway so you just can’t win.

Having an evacuation outside the Midland Station.

Passing water where you didn’t orta’.

Urinate on Bridlesmith Gate.

That’s easy. It’s a rear service road into Trowell Motorway Services. Edit: Bugger, beaten to it!

They’re not in a prominent position and nothing like as big as the ‘under the square’ ones were. There isn’t sufficient toilet accommodation to cater for large gatherings. The Council should have anticipated this when organising a Christmas market. The fact is they should not have done it in the first place during the current tier 3 situation.

There's no toilets in the Market Square. The wise Council closed the much needed facility. Where do you go? The pubs are shut. This Council represents the people who voted for it!

Never been to China. The further east you go the worst it gets though!

I see common sense has prevailed and they’ve ‘temporarily’ closed down Nottingham Christmas Market. They didn’t expect so many people apparently! What a bunch of fools is this Council. Also people were were using shop doorways as toilets as they were no public facilities available and they were unable to contain themselves.

When I was in the fishing port of Tarbert at the top of the Mull of Kintyre I was told by a fisherman that they shipped two large container loads of live shellfish in tanks to the Continent every week. It's a very long road trip from Tarbert to the Channel ports. It's an eyeopener to go round French supermarkets and look at some of the disgusting things they eat!

So many not wearing face masks and observing distancing. Some people just don't understand how the virus spreads.

No, it’s because we’ve left the long drawn out bureaucracy that goes with being a member of the EEC.

It’s true about home grown slavery. Wealthy mill owners paying a pittance in wages to workers, many of them children. People lived in tied houses from where they could easily be evicted and were forced to use tokens to buy their food in company shops. It still goes on in places like Leicester where wealthy factory owners pay their countrymen/women around £3 an hour to work in their sweatshops.

I’m afraid it’s deadwood now.

It's Griffin & Spaldings/Debenhams.

I can't see, when we're in tier 3 lockdown and there are strict rules about mixing, that we can be reprieved for a few days over Christmas. The whole idea is just plain crazy.

@Beekay Not many in Grantham can read!

You don’t want to move from Sussex to a shitty place like Grantham. You should have typed ‘close’ with a capital C.
