Yes, see how it goes tomorrow, if people start cancelling in mass or being funny about it I'll stop.

End of the day this could be a long haul, if we can squeeze a few more days or weeks of income out of it go for it.

Its about as clear as mud, First Bojo leaves it in the air open to different interpretation, then the twitter feed is quite definitive, you cant work unless your a key worker but now the latest advise on the Govt website leaves it in the balance again..

1. STAYING AT HOME
You should only leave the house for one of four reasons.
● Shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as
possible.
● One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your
household.
● Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
● Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

Where is it actually stated that he is even going to do anymore for the self employed?

It can’t be decided that quickly if he makes a decision and goes back on it because it hasn’t been thought through people would go mad over that,they will sort more out for the self employed it will just take time they’ll have it now with us all off

Boris wasn't that clear because this is unprecedented.
At least it's something to tell the grandkids about.
"What did you do when the country was locked down for three weeks, grandad?"
"Errr…...I needed the money" .

I thought I’d still go out and clean windows,can you imagine what not only people would think but also your customers 😂,desperation springs to mind I think you’d actually get abuse from people.

I think you've got to stop.

You can't guarantee that you wouldn't have some contact with either a customer or someone passing by. Who knows, maybe you've got it and pass it on to them or they give it to you? You just don't know.

Our work provides our living and is therefore important but in this crisis it's not essential. We are not essential workers.

I also think it could be bad for your reputation if customers think you are being irresponsible or passers by think the same and see your van with the sign writing etc. Someone could easily take a photo and upload it on social media. Unlikely to happen but not impossible.

Is it worth it?

Boris was clear.  It was whoever put up the video (now deleted) that said it was "key workers only".

The rules are perfectly clear and in alignment with what BoJo said:

Was it desperate Dan or desperate Daz years ago,prices going up a few weeks ago and now going out in worse conditions than 6ft of snow 😂.
For the foreseeable future our job is on hold and that’s that you can look for all the excuses in the world to go out and think cleaning peoples windows is ok but it’s ridiculous at the stage it’s at now.
A m8 of mine his auntie works as a nurse on the NHS she said honestly heed the warning she has seen some terrible things regarding this Virus,it’s getting to the stage now that you are risking your life’s for a few quid.

We could all just carry on and pay the new fines. We don't want to get behind with our schedules.
Thousands of staff are returning to the NHS and military planners are looking at makeshift hospitals but window cleaners need to earn a butty.

A lot of us may not have full blown Coronavirus  yet, but we may have the Virus  itself .   All those out yesterday in resorts will have had  a share with this virus , not knowing it.   Because they all looked healthy enough .      Wrong.      This is why we need to stay home now and try to slow it down and not spread it.    as said , Gates handles,    cash even though not in our hand , its off them.   they may have it.        Don't be so relaxed about it.       This is Serious stuff now.      Boris is trying not to end up like Italy & Spain.      Hospitals  having to leave some to die  because they cannot give them any  help.      Overloaded
   WE Do not want that here.   It is early stages here.   2 weeks Italy were like us.  Look at them now.     1000s  dying
