Ani Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 41 minutes ago, Nordkurve said: The biggest problem is that a lot of those in the vulnerable groups are not Pensioners. They should isolate but at the same time many can't afford to isolate because they need to work to pay their Mortgage or Rent. It's catch 22. To be clear if someone is deemed vulnerable and has to miss work they should be helped financially IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anyone who is complaining or having a hissy fit. Londoners just get on with it. It is what it is, quoting some bloke (can’t remember his name). From what I read on this board, we’re behaving much better down here when in the shops and on public transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if the questions are planned in advance, you can filter out the dross and answer the questions that are helpful, remember they are choosing which questions to answer But They would want those doing the conference to look good, so they're not going to allow questions which are awkward or can't be answered elsewhere What needs to happen is someone says I'll ask this question, get on, then ask another Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he landed, went straight to some high flyers funeral with 100's of people there and then went to big jewish do the day after. Bet he felt a right cunt. All that Chinese new year stuff seems lightyears away Why the fuck didnt they close their borders. Terrorist cunts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they definitely already known about by the panel, even if they are preselected by production people? Whatever the case, the questions just seem a bit pointless. The beeb does a question and answer session on the news channel from time to time, and it seems far more useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno to be honest I always remember a radio one phone in quiz competition One where they took one or two calls a show till someone got it right They clearly wanted to drag it out so screened questions before letting them on Cept one bloke knew the answer but told them he was going to say something else Was funny hearing zoe ball and that get flustered because they weren't expecting it but had to pretend to be congratulary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boby Brno Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Listening to the Jeremy Vine show yesterday lunchtime on the radio. They had some guy on who was an expert on the rules. A typical question went something like this. ‘I live in Bristol which is medium but I need to go to my sister’s house in Wales who have their own rules to collect a parcel that I’m going to deliver to my mother who lives in Liverpool who are on very high. On the way I will travel through Birmingham that is on high. Will I be breaking any rules?’ Jeremy Vine. ‘That’s all very confusing’ I’ve said before, I look at the rules that affect me, my family and my business. Too many people inventing Imaginary scenarios to undermine the message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe it would be better to have proper travel restrictions on us in these higher areas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct answer was "tell your sister to send it directly to your mum and stop being deliberately obtuse" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
