Do you not realise how upsetting your remarks can be to a person who has lost a family member. Has been unable to be by their side holding them at the end watching them fighting for breath. Your ignorance is unsurpassed 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I had my way you would have been able to be by their side, I can’t be held responsible for knee jerk reactions. Yearly death rates are average, respiratory deaths lower than average. Apologies for not being part of the clique @Beekay, I lost a lot of interest when @IAN123. got hounded off the site. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Just trying to remember the rules of lockdown? Initially, apart from key workers and for essential shopping we were not allowed out at all. Then it eased a bit and we could exercise with walking or cycling. Then being able to go fishing or golfing etc. So how do we stand on Thursday? What are the rules? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,893 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Our schools are now closed. Lockdown? If it's not happened during the night, it's very close and undecided. Whose fault is it? No body has a clue, but universities and schools opening again, overloaded public transport, returning holiday makers, people travelling in infected areas? Who knows? Think we will remember 2020 with anger, sadness and memories of loneliness, but also with adapting new ideas, learning new skills and obeying rules. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 It looks like outdoor activities are being allowed. Observing social distancing, we can walk or go fishing with another person outside of our bubble or family. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,089 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Yes, 'likes' do tend to indicate cliqueyness. I'll not give any likes in future to maintain impartiality! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Perhaps you may want to do some research on the characteristics of cliques, Brew. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,424 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 I often give likes for no other reason than to let a member know that I saw their post and do not disgree with it. If I did disagree I would post a polite response with my reasons for disagreement. I'm not here to raise my blood pressure. It's high enough already. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goodbye. Oh dear I hope you don't leave. We may disagree but that's hardly reason for pouting and flouncing off into the sunset. Stay and state your case, without cliches, or don't respond but don't leave on my account... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
