I presume these are the 'quiet days' after a weekend.
The quiet days will simply be Thurs to Sunday instead. Andrew On 04/08/2020 16:23, Brian Gaff (Sofa) wrote: Why is it only mon to wed though? Brian |

In my view it also makes people eat double portions so making them fat!
Still, life is a compromise and the point clearly is that they want us to catch the virus, but not all at once. That is why they want to get folk back to work, and not sitting on the beach next to other infected folk. Its got to be as gradual as possible. They have seen the writing on the wall about how long to get enough vaccine produced and every country in the world would be bust by then otherwise. It seems pragmatic but logical to do as we are doing. Brian -- ----- -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

It seems pragmatic but logical to do as we are doing. Even sillier and more pig ignorant than you usually manage and that’s saying something. None of New Zealand, Taiwan, Vietnam or Australia will be bust, you watch. No country will go bust if their pubs and restaurants cant open either. "Rod Speed" wrote in message ...

It really isn't worth that increased risk and would make a mockery of us not doing any serious shopping ourselves etc? Since lockdown we have only driven the car about 3 times (locally) and haven't bought petrol etc. Cheers, T i m |

See, I could well be symptomatic and so be giving C0vid19 to others so 'of course' I would keep away from as many people as possible and 'of course' no left brainer would see the point / merits of doing so for 'everyone'. "Vegan Mains at Nando's Veggie burger, wrap, or pitta – just make sure to specify you'd like it without mayo or yoghurt. Portobello mushroom and halloumi burger, wrap, or pitta – but ask for it without the halloumi, obviously. ... Quinoa salad – ask for it without the feta cheese. Mediterranean salad – skip the feta." Cheers, T i m. |

Followed by the hospitals, the delays before normality returns and the 'cost' of it all. McD seem to have reduced their prices. And become busier. I have had tea and cake in a cafe with a spacious garden. And you ate the cake with the fork you took there yourself I hope? ;-) Do they have sneeze shields on staff side of the cake storage nowdays? How often (on a busy day) do they wash their hands, especially after clearing the tables or handling cash? Cheers, T i m |

Nope, too much risk of an infected staff monkey putting virus on the stuff you eat it off or the utensils or tables etc. |
