Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Mine is the 1 - 21 February. Did it a few days ago and it was end of January to middle of February so possibly will end up being beginning of summer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Don’t blame Europe for banning UK residents from travelling abroad. Something we should have done when we were low and Europe was starting to escalate possibly? It might focus minds more hopefully but am not holding my breath. Also wasn’t it obvious when the tier 4 was going to be put into place that there would be an exodus of people from London etc. Human nature to get away from a threat, just have to hope it doesn’t seed it throughout the country although I read that there are odd cases throughout the country anyway. Lockdown looming again? Also seen a statistic that 1 in 40 secondary school children are infected, can’t remember the primary school one. Bit alarming that as I have agreed to invigilate in January for the exams. It will be one on one (scribing) and I will be able to wear a mask, be socially distanced and have a screen between us. Starting to wonder if I have done the right thing though. I see there is a new strain appeared in South Africa which is more transmittable but also is more severe in the younger generation. It certainly is a tricky little b****r isn’t it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,511 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 A friend of ours had the jab last week, he’s only 76 with no underlying health issues but he snook in early because he happens to own a football stadium and offered his facilities to be used for Covid testing and vaccinations. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,144 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Talking of football stadiums I’ve just seen that Alan Hardy has applied for permission to build two houses in his garden. Must be getting short of cash! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 It is a bit akward BK as they were so relieved when I said I would do it, I had already said no to retakes in December being in a room with 7 - 10 pupils. I can wear my mask and face shield and the first 2 will be when only certain pupils can be there before the testing starts. I will see how safe I feel and if I am not happy will stop, they do know I am in the vulnerable category because of my age (although I must admit I don’t feel vulnerable or elderly for that matter!) There are more in February, although I have a feeling we could be Tier 4 (Peterborough is only 60 miles away and they have the new strain there) or even in lockdown by then, and then more in March. Will have to play it by ear. Of course I could have had the vaccine by then, who knows, but will see what happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Looking @ the infection rates & where we are now, wearing masks & social distancing total waste of time We need to learn to live with it & rely on your bodies immune system, we will be in the same position this time next year & the year after, it's here to stay, it's going nowhere.

Tell that to the elderly and vulnerable! From a younger and healthy persons point of view you are probably right, albeit a bit uncaring. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 RR what a stupid remark. My daughter received an email from a school friend who is a nurse in Nottingham. She just gone back to work after contracting covid. She said that healthy people don't realize how bad it is. She was so mad with the general "public who don't wear masks" She wished that those idiots were obliged to work in a covid ward for a month or two , they would soon change their attitude. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,144 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 You’re right BK. There are still lots of people out there who are seem unable to comprehend the seriousness of the situation. Only when it comes closer to home for them will they realise.

Beekay 5,153 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Just been watching our local news. I really feel sorry for those poor sods, sat in their cabs on the M20 (4,000 approx,) they're stuck where they are with no hot food or drinks or basic toilet facilities. Some of them are foreign drivers trying to get home to their families. What sort of Christmas are they going to have? I might be still stuck in, but at least I've got a comfortable prison. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,144 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Blame the French. They’ve never liked us - nor we them really but we, being British, do have a sense of fair play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,144 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Years ago I was being shown over the Arc de Triomphe by a French chappie. He said all Napoleon's victories were inscribed thereon. I said 'I can't see Waterloo'. 'We don't mention Waterloo' he said! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,083 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Why do we always call the French? I have been over to france many times and always been made wecome. They have the best wine, food, and more. A friend of mine use to say he hated the French, he had never been to France. The best thing the French did came up with was Madam Gillotine.

Beekay 5,153 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 I've got nowt against the French, after all they have Disneyland Paris. I love their "Le Thom cheese. They have a lovely little train in Chamonix, goes up a mountain to a glacier. But the best thing to come out of France.....is Le Tunnel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mary1947 2,083 Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 B Have you ever been to Compie'gne forest. this was were the armistice was signed 11 nov 1918. The wagon served as the personal carriage of Ferdinad Foch to avoid humiliating Marshall Foch sourght an out of the way location near Paris . While travaling we came across this site by accident, all we saw was a small sign saying history site. When we arrived , at the start of a long road, is a large white dove in flight, and if you close your eyes you can imagen all thoes German soldies marching down this long road. WELL WORTH A VISIT there is a lot more to this story but must not take up to much space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stavertongirl 1,719 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Today I had a txt from my doctors surgery giving me a link to follow which was about my health. Clicked on it and saw the word vaccination, great excitement. On reading it it looks like my doctors surgery is going to be doing vaccinations (hooray) as well as Queens Med (who I read did 25 yesterday, yes 25, not actually rushing them out are they). Upon reading further it told me not to ring about the vaccination (which I hadn’t are people actually doing that?) and that I would be contacted in due course which I expected anyway. Pound to a penny it will be the nurses at the surgery doing them, doctors seem very sparse on the ground to say the least!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
