March 2020
I just wanted to say, with this virus getting worse and more shops closing down until it clears, not to mention the aftermath of all this which no one can know or predict. As a nation we are in this together.
So I extend my heartfelt wish to you all that you, your family and friends are all safe and continue to be so. Read more
Ridiculous, absolute ridiculous.
What's the difference between NHS staff parking during this Coronavirus outbreak and their need to park any other time?
NHS Staff never should have and should never have to again, pay for parking at their place of work.
Why has it taken a situation like this for the authorities to start respecting and applauding NHS staff when they've always been there for us 24x7? Read more

Got to use it to go to supermarket to get food bout every ten days but nowhere else. Read more
I live in a rural area where the roads are eerily quiet. Even when I cross over the M5 there is very little traffic, and most of that is commercial.
My everyday car is only used for the supermarket shopping at present, a ten mile round trip which does it no harm as it is petrol. Not all of us were taken in by the dash for diesel.
My other car is a 50 year old classic and old cars, like old people, benefit from regular gentle exercise. I will drive that one next time I have to visit the pharmacy to collect my repeat prescriptions.
Why would anyone use this when you can apply direct on the gov website.

Volunteers needed!

I'd love to sign up, but I'm not sure I can. I was rather hoping the furlough worker scheme would allow for part time working thus freeing me to volunteer but I'm not sure it does. Not willing to take the salary hit otherwise so will have to work full time.

If i take advantage of the 6 month Covid19 mot extension, (origonal expiry 5/6/20 but extended to 5/12/20) will my car get a full new 12 months mot from the date i go to get it done (ie- dec 20), or will the new expiry date still be 5/6/21), meaning new mot will run out after 6mths instead of 12. None of the Goverment sites clarify this info. Makes a big difference to when folk decide to take their car in to be mot'd. If reverts back to origonal due date, then theres no really any point in delaying getting it done (unless you ill or shielding that is).
Despite some people being critical of them staying open, I think it's a good idea.
I would suggest to them, however, that like the supermarkets, they streamline/prioritise their stock to include a much larger percentage of essential items, especially so that breakdown staff can utilise them when needed, e.g. batteries, engine and electrical parts generally, wipers, engine consumables, shop towelling, etc.
It may even be worth them co-ordinating what items are needed with the breakdown firms and even having a 'trade only' time after normal operating hours for them to assist, especially so that key workers on shift work can get going again as quickly as possible, as the nights are still very cold.
