"You'd have to have a pretty big garden, surely?" Nah - just do loads of laps, sorted.

'Even this forum has a thread for celebrity deaths does it not?' Yeah it does, but they excluded my friend who died last August. Bastards.

Can't you get a converter HDMI to micro HDMI ?

"Celebrity deaths are always reported, irregardless of what they die from. Why would that be any different during a pandemic?" Exactly, this thread should be re-titled "why do famous people get mentioned in media when they die, but everyone else doesn't ?" It's nothing to do with Covid, no change, BAU. A few months ago, the exact same headline would have occurred (obviously except the bit about "succumbed to Covid-19..".

fresh fish, in Peckham gardens....anyone ?!

Well said Sissi81

faye - your answer even explains what the problem is. The jogger determined not to stop, with an entitlement to keep up momentum. The answer: 1. STOP ! And then negotiate if necessary to maintain distance. 2. GO AROUND ! On street if necessary, there was virtually no traffic - hence my amazement because the joggers had no excuse. "The roads are busy" ?? Of all times since the war that's a very badly timed comment ! Remember, I could have been stood ON the kerb - thereby keeping distance still from my neighbour, however you look at it, until the joggers breezed through we were people successfully keeping distance. "I have found that walkers seem to feel they have more claim to the pavement than joggers" - based on what ?! Actually, this is making me chuckle.. Everyone on here, is there really a debate to be had over whether pedestrians on pavements have more right to be there than runners ? As I've said previously, runners are in control of these situations, they are faster, more mobile, know what their plan is (unless you seriously think they don't know where their legs are taking them), want to keep up momentum, don't want to stop. So I think the onus on them, given their dominance of the situation, to make sure each encounter ends well and the walker is not compromised (on a fecking PAVEMENT) ! I'm not against runners, I have a decent history myself, ahem: Half Marathon 1:21 20 Mile 2:01 10 Mile 0:55

Well I was trying to be (surprisingly, I know) polite/give benefit of doubt by saying 10% !!

If they're selling produce AND need staff help, they're making a profit, right ?

If you?re queuing for any shop on LL you may manage 2m between you and person behind / in front of you, but passers by are breezing past like there is ZERO distance required. I?ve had a couple actually bump into me !! I?d probably now say ?if this was a serious situation where we really had to keep our distance...?, but...

I think more people would, if they could get some distance. See other thread about independent shops v distancing.

Yup, you?d think so. Weakest link in the whole effort now.

I?d love to know the stats of how many people die from the fecking self-entitled joggers - it can?t be zero. I?m getting near wanting to ban the activity, too. The privilege is being abused, to other peoples? detriment. Like I?ve said before, most joggers are great, but the asshole 10% are seriously in need of slaps.

Well said. Although sometimes I think it?s not do much entitlement as typical London don?t wanna talk to / acknowledge strangers.

It?s not just the distancing though, it?s the potential for transmission via surfaces. How can (presumably) professional couples ignore the basic precepts for safety ?!

If anything, one of the outcomes of this pandemic will likely be the stark exposure of the huge chasm between privileged people and subsistence workers in this country, the lack of safety harness for the latter, the brutality of zero-hours contract employment, and the unreasonable way the latter are regarded as just resources to burn with no appreciation of their humanity or welfare.

man, that's way off the scale

Try Khans in Peckham

yup, I have one, very useful for changing devices.

doh !

That's one well-travelled parcel !

don't forget you got a torch on yer phone JohnL !!

Is that water even aerated ? I'd assumed any fish in there would suffocate and die otherwise.

Ha ha - Izal, I remember it well. !! Basically tracing paper for arses. Heaven knows why they even manufactured that stuff - perhaps, compared to newspaper, it seems a step-up..!?

"..imagine the public reaction to "We have to close the cemeteries now! Too many deaths!" If/when we get to that stage, it won't really matter what the public thinks and there'll be no need to sugarcoat it ! But, again, WHERE is the space in Nunhead cemetery ? It's full ! As an aside... A FONC member told me a couple of years ago there's 260,000 buried there, many in deep pauper/general graves (in the Northern corner).
