    Marmite is the one thing I have stockpiled. With brewing on hold it was obvious a Marmite crisis was on the way. I checked my various hiding places this morning and counted five unopened 500g jars. Should see me through for a few more weeks. Sorry - can't share!

    Nah, strap 'em to the roof and chuck some elderly (preferably disabled) relatives in the back for good measure. You'll have 20-20 vision in no time.*

    Agreed. He's not dealing with this element of lockdown well at all, in my opinion.

    Just to clarify, are you talking about customers not being able to visit your place of work? (Sorry for being dense )

    No, sorry, people in the office. We have a few sections, my own section has 9 people and we have 2 seats under the new guidelines. To be honest, my workplace have been very good, and have been ahead of the Governments all through this.

    I have been cut to 25 hours a week, am actually working 40 to get everything done, so I am hoping to go back to the office to demonstrate that I am working 40 hours and should be paid for it. If not, then I can happily walk out after my 5 hours a day and not be accused of watching Netflix and getting nothing done.

    Ahh right, wasn't really sure

    It's my (probably incorrect) understanding that the '5 mile' rule doesn't apply for commuting to work, so that shouldn't be an issue for your colleagues being able to attend.

    Double bluff the bastards and watch Netflix on your phone when you go back

    Brazil pretty certain to take second spot off the UK today when it comes to number of virus deaths, but it won't change a thing as far as having three "strong man leaders"/strutting buffoons at the top of that particular league of shame is concerned.

    Deaths per million has the UK pretty much top of the league table. Boris is proud of his record.

    Pretty much the same as Italy, Spain, who had lockdowns far more severe than UK. Belgium much higher than UK. Also different ways of measuring. Doubt the PM is proud of what's happened.

    Apart from that a pretty accurate and informative post.

    Second only to Belgium in the whole world in terms of deaths per million population. We are very close to Spain, but there's daylight between us and Italy.

    Belgium count ALL nursing home deaths, whether coronavirus has been confirmed or not, which nobody else does, looking at the numbers of excess deaths, it is pretty likely that we are higher than Belgium and the worst affected in the world.

    I doubt Spain & Italy have accurate data knowing their public services, but it doesn't make pretty reading I'd admit. If you consider deaths occur mainly in overweight, chronically ill folk, maybe our awful health as a nation contributes. I still doubt BJ is proud of this though..

    He's proud of his Government's record, you are here leaping to his defence. UK stand top of the league in deaths per million, you may think it's because our figures are more accurate, I happen to think it has plenty to do with sick old people being sent into care homes on the advice of our "Proud" (their word, not mine) Government.
