On a similar note, I'm going to have some of the cleanest, best maintained cars around, not to mention a very organised camper and a beautifully manicured garden...Oh what was that about BBC screening past world cup football and rugby?Seems we've been here before, village near us.

We had a mysterious post arrive of hand gel and for the life me I couldn’t work out where it came from.
About a week earlier I had a search on line for some as we had none at all but I was sure I hadn’t got as far as entering my address as I was disgusted by the profiteering.
Mystery solved today when one of our lads was wishing his mother happy Mother’s Day and did you get your present. Yep hand gel. My boys are trained well.

Some info that my Daughter found relating to protecting from the Virus. Source Far East ???
Wash all clothes and have a shower upon return from an exposed area.
Drink hot fluids regularily. Tea, Coffee etc, gargle and rinse mouth using warm water with salt or vinegar or just warm water. Cold drinks are of no benefit.
Apparently initial Chinese autopsy investigations are that the virus causes a solid mass in the lungs stopping their function.
the hot drinks are to wash any early exposure collecting in the mouth or throat and washing them directly into the stomach where normal digestive acids destroy them.
Usual hand washing etc still applies but regular hot drinks are a new addition to my knowledge.
sorry to disappoint beer drinkers.
I'll try to get the link for the 10 point actions. Would expect official info to be released if relevant.

While drinking hot drinks probably won't do you any harm, I'm afraid it's just another iteration of this "advice" that's been circulating for several weeks, with no credible medical basis AFAIK.
See: www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-51735367
Could I respectfully suggest we don't keep pass round this kind of stuff?

Unless from a credible source such as gov.uk, advice such as this should be treated with a great deal of caution.

I have been using this method at home since I travelled to India 45 years ago. I reckon I have saved about 100 trees worth of paper since that time!

Free beer anyone. Our local football club have judt posted on Facebook that they are giving away all their beer stocks rather than throwing it away. Nice gesture but I bet the footie ground is now rammed with folks mingling to get a free pint.

Tescos, good, occasionally busy later.
Sainsburys, moderate to good, sale on Corn Flakes.
Asda, slight to moderate, heavy crowds by evening.
Marks and Spencer and Co-Op, fair.
Waitrose fair to moderate, spillage in aisle 7.
Lidl, rough at first, moderate later.
Aldi, rough at first, becoming rougher.
And that's the end of the Shopping Forecast.

Doctor: "Sorry but, following testing, I can now confirm that you DO have the Corona virus."
Patient: "That's not possible - I have made sure that I am totally immune."
Doctor: "How so?"
Patient: "I have 300 Tesco toilet rolls in the house!"

Just got back from Aldi. They said I could only have three items. Came out with an angle grinder, a pink sports bra and a coat for a horse.

Just a heads up The Ministry of Defence have been told to be on standby for complete UK lockdown as of Sunday evening at 6pm... No one is to leave their home's unless you work in Front Line Retail or the NHS...
I heard this directly from my neighbour Trigger who is best friends with a guy called Boycey. Boycey knows a guy named Del who drinks down the pub with his uncle Albert. Albert was in the Navy during the war so knows his stuff.
Please pass it on.

Rubbish you can’t self isolate in a camper - unless these people don’t require access to water or toilets - shame they didn’t decide to go back home when they landed in Plymouth, which is a shorter distance from where they are now
