Rick mate, give it a rest as you're like a broken record. Unless anyone has a working crystal ball we won't actually ever know for certain whether it has made any difference or not. All we can do is form our own views on it and we know we all have different ones (and we all know yours). End of conversation.

Anyway Zip, I'm good thanks mate, working away and my 4x4 club just got a permit from Motorsport UK to hold a social distanced punch hunt end of July so I've got that to look forward to

How are you doing dude?

Fine but we now have a broken country thanks to the likes of Boris and his so called experts, I do not think that is funny, my and your kids and grand kids will have to pay for this for most of their lives, once we had back bone but have lost it now, sorry if I upset you but it needs to be done, Rick

I don't have a R3mr anymore I've gone over to Jeeps!

There is no doubt that this Covid thing has been a big hit financially on too many families so sorry to hear about your situation. I'm very lucky really as I am now fully retired - I have been for the last 3 or so years - I'm 72 now. The Gaffer has hit the new retirement age this month at 66 yrs for her State Pension though she is still working albeit part time as a NHS Receptionist.

We have close friends who have been hit hard by not working with kids still at home plus the mortgage etc. I think better to be broke than dead mate we have lost a close friend to Covid 19.

Folk who are deniers or even worse are so selfish they put others at risk are playing a game of Russian Roulette with other peoples lives. They don't care about anyone but themselves I group them with the likes of anti-vaccinators and similar such fake news authors. As usual the Media Feast on how the crisis is being handled by governments around the world with the Murdock Press stoking up the fire of criticism plus the out of control fake news on social media.

I have been in pretty much full lock down since all this began - my wife has been busy doing support for neighbours who are in their 80's - the husband has terminal cancer as a result of bladder cancer that spread to his bones & lungs. It sounds trite but I count my blessings most days.

All the best for you & your family in these hard times Zippy.
