It can't be easy to have set in stone rules applied so quickly as things are moving. It's still illegal to drive a vehicle without an MOT or insurance,Ā soĀ at present MOT testing stations and insurance companies are still considered essential businesses, and are allowed to stay open. You would think insurance companies could makeĀ it easier for staff to work from home. MOT testers can't do that. They have so far suspended MOTs for buses and lorries but not cars or vans yet. My mate who does MOTs is expecting to be closed down soon but something will need to change to allow folk to continue driving if their MOT runs out. Ā MOTs are being rolled over for six months from the end of the month, ie. next week.Ā Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governmentĀ keeps chopping and changing though.Ā The latest advice appears to be that people who can't work from home can go to work "to keep the country running".

Aye, they are definitely leaving room for interpretation. But it must be hard to do otherwise. The wifie on the news last night kept saying "remember to stay indoors", but that's not what Boris said. He said "stay at home". My garden is part of my home but it's not indoors. I'm spending most of my time in the garden, my shed and my garage, neither of which are "indoors". If I spent too much time indoors I'd be getting murdered by her indoors.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnbruman Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I said earlier in this topic that Ive almost certainly had this virus. Self isolated for 8 days now but only had mild effects whereas my daughter who is 31 was very cloae to being taken to hosp with breathing difficulties as a result of it. Im nearly back to ok ..shes still washed out. Statistically its affecting older folk more seriously but as can be seen by the death of the 21 year old girl .youngsters are not immune just less likely to suffer. As for Prince Charles .completely ignoring uk govt guidelines taking himself and his entourage to the highlands on Sunday. Completey ignoring thr serious urgings of Sturgeon and her CMO on Sunday. But look at today .when questioned re Prince Charles.Sturgeon and her CMO totsllyĀ bottled it fudging an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
