T cells are a main defence to disease. The body production starts to drop off when you reach 40.

Where I live has always had a high proportion of immigrants, to the extent we are fairly well integrated. Obviously as a white bloke I have not experienced racism but accept non white friends and colleagues do get cheesed of with daily low level stuff. The few really nasty racist things I have...

I think hiding in plain sight would be more appropriate in this area.

As may be obvious, I know Leicester well. It has a thriving group of lawyers and accountants that specialise in Phoenix companies.

Read the seventh post on page one, I made to this thread. From what I have seen on the telly the medics are alive more by luck than design. Most of them have either not been trained properly or have ignored their training.

The owners are well known. Let’s say this, there are distinct parallels between the blind eyes to Leicester Sweatshops to those we have seen regarding the many sexual predator gangs and their offences in many other cities like Rotherham, Oxford etc etc etc.

Believe me there have been sweat shops and horrible exploitation in Leicester for well over 20 years. I guess every city has it if you look in the right places.

I have been the same. I think availability of plaster has been the one thing that has held up my project. There have been upsides as the property is unoccupied, so I have been able to jump the queue with tradesmen. I know my plasterer went down to travis Perkins and had a bust up with them as...

I do the same. Tool station have been really good throughout the lockdown. I have used Click and collect only will be a bit annoyed when they go back to normal as ditherers in the store are a damn nuisance and should go to bnq :twisted:

Hence my post at the start of this thread. As a nation, we are still brilliant at inventing stuff, but poor at making money out of that brilliance.

Back to my OP Masks give some protection to others from the wearer. So the masks do have a function. Whilst it might defy the logic of the man in the street they don't protect the wearer. Distance does. Double the distance and you decrease the risk by fourfold or more ( the more is open to...

Where are these masks you speak of used, Roger?

Her majesty had her nails done yesterday. Today she goes for a hair do, not seen her so excited for years. :D :D

Your faith in such a poor form of protection is rather worrying.

Does the workshop need windows at all? With led lights being so cheap and effective you don’t need them for a light source. More wall /less windows equals more storage which equals more free floor space. And it will be warmer and more secure.

I wonder what law of physIcs requires all car boot chisels to be paint splattered.

Sounds reasonable, but the majority don’t even see government advice let alone heed it. I used to work in nuclear. We had training sessions, refreshed every six months, just on how to take off gloves :shock: sounds a bit over the top until you consider how easy it is to contaminate yourself.

I think this is precisely why they were not prescribed, earlier in the lockdown. I will wear them as required, but still retain my 3+ metres* distancing and hand washing practices. * I never accepted from the get go that 2 metres was enough.

"We wear PPE at work"......... Assuming you understand risk assessments; you will know that PPE is very low in the hierarchy of control measures. And that assumes it is fit for purpose, well maintained and correctly used.
