    As regards far from the maddening crowds seems to be the best odds as regards todays weird circumstances. The UK it must be very hard to do due to the well over population of the country in general. Was recently in touch with my daughter who lives in Cappys area which one would say was less dense than most places , but the family next door to them have copped it via their children being thought to have picked it up at school . Fortuanetley my daughter and her husband have had to take extra precautions due to their already problems with their health which is not conducive to the present epidemic. So have kept their distance. My daughter a teacher is now conducting her job via the internet. I must say here in WA although it must have affected some with their change of lifestyle , it has had very little effect on us oldies , it is not yet a big topic of conversation. We do however follow the guidelines of maxinum of 6 to a table even when playing Bingo. I havent heard any griping about it. Maybe we are more law abiding. Or maybe dont like people looking over our shoulder to see if Legs 11 has been called yet. JS

    My thoughts exactly Cappy, of course its not just students, but older people as well. Of course we are in to, probably, two or three generations who have not really understood discipline , right from school age they must not be touched, the worst punishment is to be excluded, big deal,. The lax situation in schools today amazes me, (my niece is a teacher ). I was not the best behaved pupil in school, but the threat of being sent to stand outside the headmasters office was enough to scare you, anything could happen from there, right up to a cane. Discipline started from a very young age, and it should be so now. I am not saying the days of beatings with cane should be brought back, but meaningful punishment for transgression. If indiscipline is carried from a young age, will carry it into adulthood, kt

    Leigh Davis a firm of well known social solicitors is advertising for illegal immigrants that have been detained by UK authorities to contact them. Through the Legal aid fund this firm will bring a class action against the Home Office for illegal detention under they HR laws.
    The company believes it will win any action and the detainees will receive compensation.
