Spartacus

I stopped doing poker when coal fires were banned in London 😆

James Just seen that "essential works" include closing the pavements along Barry Road for tree trimming , thus causing pedestrians to either walk in the busy main road or cross over and walk close to each other More council madness that should be suspended during the stay at home period as it will stop people being able to safely get to Peckham Rye park for exercise.

Maybe woodcrest also has a broken foot on the opposite leg and is proposing entry to a three legged race when social distancing measured are relaxed 🤔

I agree , very sobering and glad to see you've come around to my way of thinking since foxy poo pooed me on the 2nd April /forum/read.php?20,2107904 😱

Hello This is btalkvirgintalk here We've detected your household has a virus Press 1 to talk to one of our engineers who will help rid your household and computer of the virus ....

Keano I'm sure Mrs Bloggs and his 3 children wouldn't agree with you. What makes a has been celeb more important ? Joe could have been about to solve one of life's big mystery for all we know. Foxy I saying if they are going to highlight one death from covid they should highlight them all or no one at all. Your concept would have been the same as saying there should be no war Memorial's erected with soldiers names on. Everyone is supposed to be equal in God's eyes but the media instead wants sensational news to sell. Either mention them all by name or mention no-one's name to be fair to those who can't even go to the funerals of family members at the moment.

What bugs me about this crisis is that they (the media) are focusing on the death of Eddie Large yet very little about the 560 plus others who died in the past 24 hours. Each one of their lives was just as important and valuable to their families and friends and I find it sad that a former celebrity gets more media attention than "ordinary" people. If the media are going to put one death in the spotlight they need to put all those who have lost their fight on the same pedestal. Rant over

I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti

I've just asked James McAsh to ensure bins aren't left in the street after they are emptied as this will stop people leaving their houses to move them back in A small thing but important after last nights announcement

James Something simple you can do is make sure that the refuse collectors put bins back inside people's gates when they empty them Today they emptied mine then left it in the middle of the foot path thus forcing me to leave my house contrary to the instructions from the government last night to stay in and not leave your house Please make this action a priority to protect people For information the refuse collectors are doing a good valid role but this is a an addition measure they can do to help us all

People in the proposed CPZ zones , look our of your windows this morning and tell us if there are significantly more parking spaces our there as there should no commuters or school runners taking them up. If the parking is as mad as normal then we have been sold a pig in poke as the problem is actually down to the number of residents who have cars. Looking out of my window today there are as many cars parked our there as normal so it means , IMHO , that the council are trying to sell us a myth that it will get better. The traders are asking the council to postpone it's implementation during the covid 19 epidemic as it will impact the few that are allowed to open at the moment and I fully support their actions.

Viz !

Southwark has kings on its doorstep so that may skew the numbers slightly but that's only speculation

Rollflick your logic is a bit flawed on cpz there The idea of the cpz is to deter commuters and as only a very few are commuting at the moment then it will be mostly residents parking so delaying it's roll out won't impact delivery drivers as the commuters will be parked outside their own homes... As for parking for medics a friend is one and they aren't working normal shifts and he gets exhausted wearing all the protective gear (he's on the covid positive unit) so if he could drive thus saving half an hour each way on his journey means he could have an extra hour of previous sleep, and what happens when bus drivers or train drivers go sick thus reducing services ? Do you envision medics not getting to work at all. If you were in the covid positive ward you would want them to be well rested and available to get to work to look after you I'm sure.

James You asked for and now have good ideas, but typically you haven't responded to any of them or said what the council is going to do Step up and do your job as a councillor and respond to the community. Put out strong messages of reassurance on what actions the council are taking to support the community and vulnerable who have to self isolate !

James Pausing things like the introduction of the cpz or consultations on healthy streets would be a good thing as people have other things to worry about at the moment rather than have they filled in a form,can't get online to get a permit or even can they afford a permit if their job is in danger (or getting a ticket because they were ill when the scheme starts) It at seem like a petty thing but at the moment people need to reduce the things they worry about. The ideas above to create temporary hospitals (maybe use pubs as no one can go out to them anyway if we isolate) are key and planning how to get food to those who need it most but taking into account some people aren't online. Also look at how people with medical needs get treatment at home safely (boost district nurse support as hospital outpatient appointments are not always going to be possible )

Sorry Sue I was implying that whilst they have hoarded loads of yummy food to cook, they would be using services to get their McDonald's take away delivered , not supermarket delivery services...

I wonder with all these people buying food products including flour and pasta, will they just horde them till they go out of date or fall in love with making bread and cooking again. This could just be the start of a cure for obesity in the UK with people eating a better diet ! Or will they just call a delivery service and feel smug that they can survive the zombie apocalypse with their horde of tinned and dried goods.

JohnL do you work for the national press as you seem to be falling into their domain of spreading fear and panic over Covid-19 ? So far numbers of cases in the UK are relatively low and whilst the very worst case scenario could see over a period of time that a majority of people will catch it (much like colds and Flu's) we won't all be down with it at the same time, public & emergency services may have peaks and troughs in numbers but things will still work to a good degree. Whilst I am concerned it's an unknown strain of coronavirus, we shouldn't panic (yet) and good hygiene, not going to work / school / out if people aren't feeling well and making sure unnecessary personal contact (hugging, Hand shaking ...) is kept to a minimum then hopefully it will pass by with minimal impact on most people.

Or you could roll up your sleeves and do your own cleaning thus eliminating the cost of a cleaner and the parking issue. Bit radical and old school but who knows it could start a new trend in the area !

Obviously a device designed for use in a sharknado. The one with the widest nozzle to catch the biggest sharks is my recommendation 😂
