Re: Pulling a double-shift now.
Lou, My point exactly remember where the firs of Covid-19 patients where camped yep on the Wirral Merseyside. If there was a member of the Westminster crew that could do joined up writing we wouldn't have to travel 100s of miles for a test. It really is a bloody disgrace Regards mate Terry.

Re: Pulling a double-shift now.
Terry mate, what is going on if you have to go that far for a test?
We have the bloody things all over the place, something very wrong there.

John, Not something very wrong here, Since the circus entered Westminster, There are multiple things wrong Merseyside is in lock down for 6 months, And guess what the bloody army are to be deployed on the City to help out again. What these Tories cant seem to understand is the army are on the streets of Merseyside. I could take you on a 15 minute walk and meet at least 20 Veterans that done tours in Afghanistan, And that's just in my little part of Merseyside. All very fit and able young men who you don't want to get on the wrong side of and tempers are running short in this part of the world. Terry.

Re: Pulling a double-shift now.
Terry mate, I fully understand your sentiments.
Here in Melbourne we have been locked down for 12 weeks with more to come and only allowed five Klm from home. We have police and Army doing the rounds with fines of between $1600 and $10,000 for simple things such as not wearing a mask, or being more than 5 Klm from home.
But we do have testing stations.
I have heard Boris and know your frustrations.
How you will get out of this I do not know, but stay strong and do not let them drag you down.
You are better than that as we all know.

I have been treating it like a long trip without a run ashore.

Re: Pulling a double-shift now.
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH A trip to remember Tony, The highlight being the run ashore in Biera, Drunk as a skunk and waking up next to a young lady that resembled Red Rum, I prefer to believe it never took place that 12 months in my life and that it was all bad dream that's all i could do to keep me sane forgot to mention we spent 4 months on the hook off Aden i knew the names of every bum boat owner
