Jumping the gun a bit there I reckon.

Anyway, seems a mix of MPs want us to move to a 4 day week, to help improve mental health etc.

What do folk think of that?

I would love it but simply not feasible for me in reality.

Surely a four day week can't work for a lot of industry. Retail and stuff, possiby, but difficult in manufacturing I'd have thought. Plus who is going to pay for it? (unless they are going to try and do the same amount of hours, in 4 days instead of 5) - either way, I don't see it happening

I always enjoyed it when in the old monkey. Well kept, good throughput and lots of drinkers in the place.

I do think with the advent of microbreweries, and craft etc, that more flavours have become available as brewers experiment more with hops etc. Inevitable that some of the traditional standard beers aren't supped as much.

If I said John McDonell, Caroline Lucas amongst others were suggesting it, what would you reckon then?

Barmpots if you ask me.

We'd all like a better work life balance, but if you don't work enough, you can't have much of a life.

I dont trust the communists that make up the "mix of MPs", id rather the uk remain a place in which companies wish to stay.

The first cases in Italy may have spent some or all of their infectious period in China.  

This study suggests the virus was in China in August  https://dash.harvard.edu/handle/1/42669767

They've looked at historic satelitte images of chinese car parks, and trends in chinese search engine usage for the prevalance of covid symptoms at the same time - both suggest something was up in early Autumn.     

What does car park data tell you?

I suppose maybe emptier car parks equals more people at home ill?

Think so. Was wondering myself and could only assume as you have.

Digging in China may involve actual dogs though. Shag it, eat it.

I usually have to ask them about what they like doing, maybe take them out for dinner and a movie. 

You moan about the pubs and the school being shut and then its straight to the closing question.

You get much joy with this approach?

Doubt it, but hes a ginger so needs to try a novel approach 

Anyway, I see a number of US states are recording new case records

Not to say they'll die, but I'm not sure this fits with Trumptons plan

Mostly Republican-leaning states. Oops
