You know what I mean ! BREXIT !!

And you would be right ! The figure is here - along with more data. https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/

Perhaps you have forgotten that four years ago we were being harangued about 'corrupt unelected bureaucrats' from somewhere else ?

Perhaps you should think back four years or so .....

Because they work 'behind the scenes' and are not demonstrably political !

Well, Total number of COVID-19 associated UK deaths 39,369 Deaths of people who have had a positive test result confirmed by a Public Health or NHS laboratory https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ So what is killing the other 10k+ ?

None the less, I don't remember any opportunity to vote for him !

Dominic Cummings is not a member of the government - he's one of thos 'unelected bureaucrats'

There is a seperate Coronavirus thread. Maybe moving them to that thread would have been more appropriate !

And I'm certain that he knows far more about viuses than anybody on here !! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Pennington

Mine too . I was not defending them. It's clear that the mods think we are unable to behave like adults !

Under new Coronavirus regulations, sex during lockdown with someone from outside your household is illegal from today. Not going to be a problem in Beccles then.... .

And no pub I'll bet .

The whole Corona virus strategy in one photo. Where we are, where we need to be.

I agree. We are incredibly bad at understanding risk, and responding appropritely. Social media, TV and newspapers make this worse. We all have our individual beliefs and prejudices ,and we tend to 'mop up' everything that reinforces and supports them . I learned this through 35 years working in the pharmaceutical industry. I prefer to research for myself before jumping to conclusions based on , at best 'dubious' claims , which are neither reviewed by expert opinion or repeatable.

What about poor old Master Bates ?

A decent optician will help.

Skipper, Mate and Bosun are the titles used in my club, one of the oldest on the Broads. They have used these titles since its foundation before the war. The aim was to avoid the alienation of ordinary people who they hoped would join . I too dislike all this 'Commodore' business, especially when, in order to fulfil your duties on a Sunday by officiating the racing it is requisite that a blazer, cap white shirt and tie are worn .

Absolutely !

There speaks someone with very little, if any knowledge of the Broads and its organisations .

What have I learned ? Amongst many things, that this country is infested with far mor Nimbys and Snitches than I ever thought possible !

... with woodburners

hen there's Muff, near Londonderry. Has a scuba club as well https://www.muffdivingclub.ie/

My day? Readying Poppy for launch tomorrow morning Can't wait !

I'm hearing that footie fans are not over keen on matches played behind closed doors.
