PM addressing the nation at 8.30pm, lockdown imminent......

Going to be a serious lock down i think given the cobra meeting overrun so long.  Must have been some lively discussions in the cabinet about how hard the hammer has to be dropped on the British public.

This seems a very good summary of why there are no easy ways out of this in short term.

That's handy to know, as I've had to take a 50% paycut on what I invoice my brokers for cases.

That's if I'm as busy as I have been so far this year, which is unknown territory...

Damn. Wollaton Park golf club is closed until further notice after the PM's statement earlier.

Shit just got real(er).

Anyone moaning once we get out the otherside of this, wants whipping with a wet towel.

Think there should be some scales for the handouts. I can probably scrape by on 1/2 salary for a few months, and won't hopefully won't need to bother asking for them.

Just sack Vegas off and my 40th trip. Shit happens, and not worth worrying about in the scheme of things.

This lockdown has come just too late and probably see supermarkets have their busiest day tomorrow. There still needs more to be done because there are still people not getting the message.

I had nipped into town today to get the essentials, the mission to get there and get straight back. Jumped on a almost empty bus and only two people on the lower deck, I didn't want to risk it so I sat upstairs where there was one more person. I sat in the middle, probably 6-8m away. Two women get on, they get on the upper deck too. They get to the top and I assume they're going to sit inbetween the front and the middle, probably 3m+ away from me and the other bloke. Nope, they going and plonk themselves on the sits beside the other bloke.

You get through town and still people don't listen. People are still queuing within 1m or even close of each other.

Shopping completed, back on the bus.

Here we are again, individuals putting themselve in danger. A woman sat bang on the front about 1.5m-2m away from the driver instead of out of harms way in other parts an almost empty bus. 10 people get on and off that bus and all have to walk past her. Stupidity.

Look at over countries, they aren't stockpiling. They are queuing and distancing like heroes. We are not.

I think there is every chance we will face it just as bad, if not worse, as Italy.

I do however acknowledge some people being irresponsible pricks.

Hardly. I like some of the stuff Boris has done. But this lockdown should have been implemented at the weekend. That would surely have been the best idea?
