[Slacky]

This was his original.




Now he's changed it

[Ooooooog]

Is he being deliberately ambiguous?

[Slacky]

No, he realised his initial message wasnt as accurate as it ought to be so changed it to reflect that.

[G Griffin]

Does it matter what he says?
Wait until the laws come out. You never know, we still might be able to work.

The second is for just one form of exercise a day, for example, a run, walk or cycle.

But this exercise must be conducted alone 'or with members of your household'.

The third is to fulfil any medical need or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.

The fourth is to travel to and from work but the guidance states this should only happen when someone's profession 'absolutely cannot be done from home

[Stoots]

Think that original gov twitter has confused people

This is the mayor of Manchester twitter




Then this

[Missing Link]

Wait until the laws come out. You never know, we still might be able to work.

We will. 

Unless Rishi goes further with a safety net for the five million self employed; we'll still be working.

And not only that, if government stopped EVERYONE working (with key personnel excepted); they'd be footing the bill for 80% of those worker's wages too.

Government knows that the 5 million self employed in the UK aren't all married to nurses who can look after us.

It’s so obvious that’s why certain jobs or trades weren’t mentioned his speech would have lasted about an hour just listing them,I think he thought when he gave his message he wasn’t just talking to people in tracksuits and the latest Air Max trainers eating a kebab.
Common sense springs to mind that speech was enough for me to think I’ll leave it for now.

[NWH]

I’ll have a word with Boris I’ll tell him if he can say if it’s ok or not for window cleaners to go out and earn a few shillings 😂,if you’ve got to clean windows in quarantine conditions you’ve got yourselves to blame for not thinking of a rainy day in years gone by.

 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.

It's pretty clear to me.  If anyone here is able to clean their customers windows 'from home', well I'd like to see that, must be a very long pole.

Anyway, I'm off to work as usual.

[Simon Trapani]

I do think of rainy days and do have money put aside but why should my employee & I in separate vans not work if we can. Ticket through the door, pay by bacs, job done.

Why would I turn down money when I can be out earning. This thing could go on for weeks or months. I'm not gonna live off my savings and £73 a week. Why should I? That's like cleaning houses for a fiver when you can be charging fifteen.

[The Jester of Wibbly]

Time to see the shirkers or workers.

As long as we keep to the social distance rule and stay away from people which is easy to do with a few tweaks to your operation there is no issues.   We are less risk than those on the trains getting to work.

I would have less contact with people in one week full of window cleaning than one trip to the supermarket

[NWH]

That’s why I charge £15 for those £7 ones in the first place,if you have been doing this job for years and have a decent enough business you should have the means by either borrowing or savings to get you through a few months.

[NWH]

Take a minute to think about what state some of these multiple van companies are in that clean windows,I wouldn’t want to be in there smelly shoes at the moment even if they getting helped with funding  what state is the business going to be in when they return.
Not scare mongering at all to anyone I can’t see many households wanting to be in a direct debit for window cleaning when the dust settles.

Just because you have money saved does not mean you want to spunk it all over the next 6 months.

Hence why people want to work, what's the point of saving money then having to blow it all whilst dole dossers keep getting hand outs.

[Simon Trapani]

Keep telling yourself that and you might believe it lol!

You'd love to be in Lee Pryor's shoes. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Sunak might have to offer us something to stop us working. Or he might chance a lot more deaths and let us carry on.
We'll hear from him this week.

My Missus is part time but she does like handsome men. Sorry.

[Simon Trapani]

Exactly Gomo. Why would I wanna blow my savings now when I can still safely work?

You crack on with your hero talk NWH.

Yep, same ones that shirk at the first glimpse of rain. Any excuse for a day or 6 months off   

[Simon Trapani]

Yep goodnight guys. Need to get to bed. I got a days work lined up tomorrow.
