Where they on Escape to the Country recently ?

The Government and Opposition will never agree, not even during a State of Emergency.  :'(  >:(

I do enjoy that programme - I love looking around the houses, especially if they are by the sea  :D

No they weren't, but they were told a lot of Bristolians have moved into the same new development.

No more Severn Bridge tolls makes a big difference not only the charge but the long queues as well.

Back covering exercise? People are questioning why our scientific advisors recommendrd herd immunity while advisors from every other country except Sweden recommended lockdown.
 Keir starmer isn't helping. He's been winding people up asking for exit plans so now people are expecting it and some will give up on lockdown too soon

The first minister for Wales announced it in his daily briefing, also councils can consider opening libraries and tips from Monday.  He also said that you can go out to exercise more than once a day, but dont go far from home, some people have been stopped after driving miles to go to a beach  :(

It's on the news sites as well.

Hopefully English Gardens centres will be open soon too.

Garden Centres are open in Scotland. My husband ordered compost 3 weeks go (from local place), he was only charged for what he bought. He ordered more last week and they charged us ?6 delivery........hmm...........ripping off the customer, but no more orders from them.

Yes, English ones are doing delivery too.  There is a rumour that they might open properly here, like Wales has just done.

People are breaking the lockdown already. There's more traffic today today than there has been all week.  >:(

It was always going to happen though.  A total lock down, like they have had in other countries, was never possible here.  We don't have a big enough police force.  Italy's for instance is twice the size of ours.

They've moved during lockdown so are yet to experience the queues they've heard about :o
Luckily they do flexi hours so can avoid the peak times.

So tell the garden centre  :-\.  ........ they like others are working under difficulties.   It's easy for someone to pick up the wrong order !  Most of the ones local have been delivering but are charging a tenner .......

I didn't think that there was a toll over the Severn any more?

The queues are nothing like when you had to pay at the toll booths but Fridays are busy 😕 nice area to live, i hope they are settling in  :)
