Lockdown it is

Boris address’s the Nation

[fiction-factory]

Boris didn't mention yours but you may find out tomorrow or the day after

[anneasquith]

A bit slow , I agree should have come into force when the entertainment premises closed. But a positive step .

Hope this helps Nailit

shops selling foods and meds (supermarkets or small shops) should be open.

Can't find anything from Gov website concerning foodbanks.

Trains should be interesting, first one departs my local station at 7.20am, son starts work at 6.30am - hope his work will be understanding.

Public transport would be the last thing I’d use. Filthy germ ridden things.

My car is cleaner than any bus and my cars a bomb site lol

Will there be papers in the morning?

[carolegif]

Due to pick up a new car in the next couple of days! PCP on present car ran out. Paid deposit, so what do we do?

Thanks Bobbie and roy :-)

[Apc2604]

I presume vets can stay open.

Some of us dont have any choice...

Not all released yet Nails.....play this but start at 12.05.

[ichkeria]

I sympathise with you nailit

This doesn't sound like it's been thought through all that well

And it would have been better to have made such an announcement at an earlier hour of the day.

[Samuraisan]

If you are allowed out once a day for exercise, who will be checking ?

[poorclare]

We don't ALL have cars and at 75 I'm a bit old for a bicycle.

//And it would have been better to have made such an announcement at an earlier hour of the day.//

Well it might well of been better but there are only enough hours in a day. He was chairing a Cobra meeting .starting at 1700hrs, and I'm sure it wasn't an in and out job. So what's wrong in reading about it tomorrow in the newspapers?

[nailit]

My brother in laws funeral on Thursday, already limited to 10 'guests', meaning that I wont be able to attend. Thankful that it will still go ahead regardless,

Retro....if Boris had sat on it until early tomorrow guess who would have been calling him out for....... delaying information. Pass the sick bag Alice.

[ichkeria]

"If you are allowed out once a day for exercise, who will be checking ? "

I wondered that :-)

Like I say, v late in the day - literally - to be leaving so many questions hanging.

[Zacs-Master]

They’ve still not closed ports and airports. There are still thousands of people entering our country who have been in close proximity. This is the weak link in the plan!

[Barmaid]

Timing was absolutely right. If he'd had done an afternoon announcement there would have been a mad rush to any and every shop by the terminally stupid. Instead, he waits til everywhere is closed and then says "you cant open tomorrow". This is NOT lockdown. This is clampdown. Lockdown is yet to come - but again depends on whether the people who think that it doesnt really matter and one little trip wont hurt actually listen.
