Tier 2

[nailit]

My home city of Stoke on Trent, has now been placed in tier 2.

A bit confused now, as apparently I can work alongside colleagues (two, sometimes three of us in a van, all in close proximity...its a bit comfy at times shall we say?) and yet we cannot meetup in a pub for a pint afterwards. Is that correct?
If so, its a bit arris over tit isnt it?

[Georgiesmum]

I dont know nailit, but I was told the postmen here arent allowed more than one person in their vans at any one time now because of the virus.

[Georgiesmum]

We are in tier 2 now also.

[Prudie]

I thought, in any tier, people in a vehicle not from the same household are advised to wear masks.

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, of course Prudie, that comes as standard, but the point I was making was only one person is allowed to be in a Royal Mail van now at any time.

[nailit]

Only come into play today (in Stoke) so have to play it by ear,
Just all seems a bit half cocked to me?

[nailit]

Just dont get how I can work with someone all day but im not allowed to socialise with them at night?

[Cloverjo]

As you say, Nailit, it’s all arris over tit. Go for your pint with your mate.

20:04...that will slow deliveries just a bit.

But think about it - no way can they have different arrangements for every different way of working - if the restrictions make sense for the majority then that's what they have to go with - for the odd working arrangement with three people in a van you've just got to go with it.
