Originally posted by psychocandy View PostUntil the government decided to withdraw the air bridge. Nice one.....
Yes I was there at the time - some very unhappy people.
Although see my other post about exemptions.....
Its all a complete mess. My client, as expected, is being pretty useless. Like I lot of clients I guess, they struggle to realise that contractors aren't employees of theirs at all and any decision regarding eligibility needs to come from an "employer".
Would be easy for those of you via limited company because you're the employer. In my case, the umbrella company bottled it and just phoned my client who was not happy.
Flew back into Birmingham last night - number of people on the plane hadnt done the form online. No internet, no smartphone etc and were told the forms could be completed on arrival. Ummm nope. No-one around to take the forms and border control passport people were denying it was their responsibility. So people just walked through, got their bags and went home. A very well working system here - NOT.Originally posted by psychocandy View PostYou do realise that a few weeks ago the government listed spain as one of their quarantine free countries, dont you? And FCo advice was changed accordingly....
OK its changed back now... Im hardly going to affect the population of birmingham by visiting an island with no cases.Comment

Originally posted by Rearden Metal View PostI saw a graphic on the BBC the other day that said 36 people had died in the past 24 hours (and in small print at the bottom - "who had tested postive for coronavirus in the previous 28 days")
These are highly selective statistics.
Originally posted by psychocandy View PostSame old same old. If you even give a slightly different opinion on how Covid is handled you get called names.
Its now trendy in this country to stay with the pack and not have an opinion I'm afraid.
I've quit facebook now. Sick of people falling over themselves to get comments in the prove to everyone how virtuous they are and how they are sticking to the rules. Its become a badge of honour for many.
Analogy of the band where the drummer is the only one playing in time. Or the guy gets a call "watch out love, I heard there's some idiot driving the wrong way on the motorway" and replies "one? there's hundreds of them".
In your case PS, I think we can make a good guess which it is. Do you know more about science and medicine than the medical community?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment
