Paid Members Lenin Posted May 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) The expected half hearted move to appease the impatient whilst being vague enough to keep everyone guessing. Reasonably frightening is the "to give back the freedoms we need" part of the announcement. Edited May 10, 2020 by Suplex Sinner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The message was if you can’t work from home, you can now go to work, just don’t use public transport.

Clear as mud I might have missed something, and I think the prime minister is the biggest cunt going, but how would what was announced tonight affect a hairdresser? My ex is a PT and a Dance Teacher. She can't go to work. Nothings changed for her. Pretty similar situation no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can’t work from home, but not can she keep 2m away from a client I'd look into it in case there are exceptions. In Jersey we're a little ahead of the UK in terms of loosening lockdown, but they've made specific exemptions for certain businesses not being able to re-open yet, and it's chiefly any that require close physical contact - hairdressers, make-up artists, tattooists, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wife can't work from home. Nor can she go to work as there can't be social distancing. So for her, surely nothing has changed? Like Pat alluded to, I would've thought the health and beauty industry would be one of the very last to see any changes back to "normal".

Factotum Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I thought the laying out of 'we are planning to do this but we might not be able to' was the right thing, it was the only thing in that address that had at least the semblance of honesty and clarity. The rest was, once again, muddled and confusing for people. Its the way they want it. Something is seriously wrong in British politics at the moment and has been for a long while. Its quite disturbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members quote the raven Posted May 10, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) My wife is also a Moblie hairdresser. We have taken today’s announcement as nothing had changed. Can’t distance don’t go back.  If you can’t go see your mates our respective other halves can’t go in and out of peoples homes cutting hair Edited May 10, 2020 by quote the raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured we were going to get a second wave after everybody was celebrating Be day this weekend. Germany has just seen their cases increase following a relaxation of their lockdown conditions. I've got a friend works on the trains and he's trying to figure out why his bosses have been told to put extra services in days before the government have advised people not to use public transport. Well, it's obviously so they need more staff and have to get some back from furlough to try and ease the strain on the treasury. I presume I'll be back in work on July 1st unless they get a medical professional to write to me in the meantime and decide that usddently my diabetes isn't that bad and I can walk to Trafford Park and back from Ardwick every day instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, your arms still count as part of your body, I believe. (I'm not a doctor.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
