@Swatteam I live in Wales lol can't get out the end of the lane without being stopped by the police
-
@lisathomas50 I live in Derby you wouldn't get stopped by police where we live come to think about it i haven't actually seen many since lockdown started
-
My son lives in England and works near Porthmadog in Wales, he hasn't been stopped once. He is a support worked so has all the i.d. if he was to be pulled over
-
@vikingqueen my daughter live about half an hour away but she refuses to come down in the car as she doesn't want a fine .I've waited this long to see my grandkids another month or so isn't going to hurt .
-
@vikingqueen it's OK if you have ID where I live we have the new south African and Kent strain they have been doing door step testing we have to wear a face mask outside as well until 31st March
-
@lisathomas50 my point was he has never been stopped, he has a camper van that has his mountain bike and full camping gear in it so he always looks like he's going on holiday He travels from here in the north west to Wales twice a week but no one has ever batted an eyelid .
-
@vikingqueen he has been realy lucky ?lol my son is an electrician for the council and he has been stopped twice apparently some of the lads who take the vans home have been using their work permit to travel ? so now they have something on their phone that says they are on shift
It wouldn't matter if your brother did get stopped but it made laugh lol hope you havent jinks him probably get stopped now lol ? -
@Username_removed good article
-
I've just had the email this morning adding me to the list, then literally ten minutes later my GP rang me to advise me I had been added and will be contacted, when I queried he said it was due to my medical conditions.
-
@MarkN88 lucky you am still waiting but I won't hold my breath but very good indeed
-
Yep just check again
-
@m@MarkN88 well still no emails but I have my health records updated and I think I need a long discussion with my gp . Or some 1 before I lose my marbles.
-
If you think you should be shielding than yeah definitely have a word with the GP.
-
@MarkN88 hi its not about shielding as I have a husband in the clinically vulnerable group who has been shielding so have I as much as I can. Its more of will I have to wait just because I am his carer instead of my health conditions if you know what I mean.
-
Oh right I see. It’s probably worth a quick chat with someone, although I’m not sure how easy it will be to get through to them.
-
I have no problem getting through to receptionist ask for a call back off 1 of gps which will probably be next week now. I can't sit here and moan but if I do find out I should've been I that group from the start well then ill be on a mission.
-
I'm on it now.
-
Me too, annoyingly.. I wouldn't mind but they think because I'm on the Autism spectrum and on the cusp of type 2 Diabetes I'm "at risk" and can't even go to the ruddy Tesco to do a weekly food shop, I've got to get my carer to go, that wouldn't be a problem except I don't always have enough cash available to do a BIG shop at Tesco's prices because as much as I trust the carer, I wouldn't feel right letting him use my debit card even though it's contactless so I wouldn't necessarily have to give him the PIN number.
