ADs self isolate in a fridge Boris style

[BogRollBOGOF]

We've polished off our hotel breakfasts, flocked to the beaches and eaten out to help out with Rishi. Now the D-Day style floatilla of Anti-Dementor boats weather the stormy seas of tiers 1, 2 and 3 and support each other through the calls for lockdown.

Hold on tight and get those bouyancy aids on...

Hello again!

[DominaShantotto]

New thread!

[ShoeJunkie]

Love the title

Hi again. Wishful yes sounds like here (small city SW) commuting distance to London. There are cases at the uni where there is a testing centre.

[TheOrchidKiller]

An excellent introduction again, @BogRollBOGOF. You really are very good at this.

[HeIenaDove]

Thanks for new thread.

[HeIenaDove]

While i was out this afternoon someone told me their colleague or colleagues friend took a Covid test. (im trying not to out them so trying to be vague) She got the result as a false positive

She HADNT YET sent the test back. It was still to be posted.

[Bollss]

Thought I'd lost you all then. Phew.

[TheOrchidKiller]

That's so bizzarre, @Helena.
When I do my weekly test you have to register them online & the information leaflet tells you specifically to do that first before doing the swab.

I don't think there's a hidden agenda there, more that they don't want people to forget to register the test & label the test tube.

But something is clearly not right with the system. Last week when I registered, the captcha thingy asked me to select all the squares with cars in. There were no cars.

[Weneedmusicandtheatre]

Found you!

[HeIenaDove]

Oh i agree its the system. Because they have ballsed it up by handing it to companies who dont know what they are doing.

[DisgruntledGuineaPig]

Just saying hello to get this on my threads.

[Wheytaminute]

Thanks for new thread.

HelenaDove Say what ?

Now that IS a false positive. How creepy!

[Iheartmysmart]

Can I ask a probably silly question please bearing in mind maths really isn’t my strong point? Looking at the number of tests carried out on a daily basis and the number of reported infections, it looks to me like about 7.5% of tests are positive. Can this be right or is my ungraded O-level maths failing me again? Happy to be told I’m being incompetent.

Thought everyone might appreciate this renamed pub in Liverpool 😂

[NeedWineNow]

On good you're here!

[Taswama]

Phew! Found you!
Excellent pub there Evenstar

On my council’s Facebook page, there are a lot of angry people about Mr Cummings. Re the council tax, write off.
Also checking the stats and nearly 50% were from care homes. It’s disgraceful and so sad. That’s Covid deaths.

Yes, why does Cummings not have to pay his family council tax?

[HeIenaDove]

@Evenstar Brilliant pub.

[justasking111]

Shit. Drakeford is set to announce tomorrow a 28 day lockdown, just waiting for confirmation whether it is this Friday or next Friday. Pubs, restaurants, all hospitality gone. Schools perhaps. They believe we need a 28 day circuit breaker to knock the virus transmission back. Friend has been in meetings all day today licensing and hospitality so it is when not if now. So all the grumbling to Boris about infectious outsiders is out the window, no-one in or out again.

[MissEWeatherwax]

JamieLeeCurtains someone higher up, has written it off. From 2002, quite a lot of money. Will have to pay from next council tax year.
Quite a few people stated they were going to complain, someone attached a link for the complaints.
Lots of one rule for us and one for the rich.

[Gherkinbee]

De-lurking from Northern Ireland here. Our new restrictions are now tougher than level 3. Too many eejits out at the pub and the rest of us paying for it.

DOMINIC CUMMINGS HAS £30K UNPAID COUNCIL TAX BILL 'WRITTEN OFF'
2.9k Shares

The council tax charges will come into effect from the start of October 2020
An unpaid council tax bill worth between £30,000 and £50,000 on on two properties at the North-East farm of Dominic Cummings and his family has been written off.

According to a report in The National, two properties on the land, one of which was built in 2002, are said to have been repeatedly in breach of planning permissions regulations, though charges will not be backdated due to the amount of time which has elapsed.

They should have informed them (the authorities) and it should have been checked," Durham County Councillor John Shuttleworth said.

“If it was anybody else, they would be getting charged and it would be backdated, or they would be getting taken to court.


“It just proves there is two sets of rules, one for them and another for everyone else. It is not right.

“We have to abide by the law and it we don’t you get put in prison or you get fined. They are just above it.”

In July 2016, Melanie Woodcock from Bridgend in Wales was handed a jail sentence for her failure to pay an outstanding council tax bill worth £4,742.

Woodcock was too ill to work at the time and was the recipient of benefits. She spent 40 days in prison before her release on appeal.
