Think about 10 people posted this video link at the same time.  ;D

Strange times we are in. I guess this seems clear though, we won’t be getting offered the 80% package anymore.

Keep working or starve?

What you need to do now is start THINKING and understand that life is often not black and white and includes a bit of NUANCE.

Go to work and stay at home, other than the reasons that the gov advised we can do (exercise/shopping/medical reasons).

Anyone who thought it meant total lock down and being welded into their homes needs to give their head a wobble.

We cleaned about 15 decent sized houses today; very little contact with customers.

Re Sturgeon video. That is just Scotland though. England will be different. I altered my fb post to tell folk I WILL be working after all until told not to, but after reading the other threads I am totally baffled. I have to work to pay bills and provide food, but window cleaning is NOT an essential service involved with the supply of food, an emergency service or the provision of heath care, or delivering mail. I don't know what to do.I'm off today as pump battery needed charging and I didn't do it last night as after listening to Bore- is. I wasn't going to work today. Atm I will aim to work tomorrow unless there is some clarity in tonight's update as to if we can work or not.

The bit of nuance that i've understood is that Nichola Sturgeon only licenses Scottish Window cleaners, and not the rest of the UK ?

The Health Secretary is being questioned at the moment in the HoC regarding people going out to work.
His advice is still as clear as mud......

She wasn't talking about licences.  She was talking about how window cleaners and gardeners are safe to do their jobs as long as they maintain social distancing.

She went onto say that this is good for their communities.

Sometimes I shake my head - in a sad kind of way - at my fellow window cleaners.

Sturgeon is NOT a Health proffesional. Our NHS staff are and all of them say stay home. This is the time i suppose where you choose NOT to listen to experts but where you listen to people saying the things you want to hear?
You ask one of your NHS running friends what they think?

Government takes it's advice from the Chief Medical Officer.  Sturgeon has one too (so does Wales and NI).

These are the top people in their profession.

And what she says is in full alignment with government guidelines.

Sturgeon could change her mind as quickly as Sports Direct.
Well, maybe not that quick.

Theres 2 debates here

The first one is can you work, which is YES

Im also shocked at how many window cleaners cant grasp this concept

The second one is should we, which has no right or wrong answer other than the one you tell yourself to be true

Yes, that's you.

We were told yesterday evening by the PM himself that was the case.

Yes but last night there was much confusion whereas today things have been made clear!

If you can not work from home, then go to work! Provided that you are able to follow the guidelines of social distancing!   If you cant, then stay at home!
This is not limited to key workers and doesnt leave much in doubt.

The only confusion came from the screamers, mate.  My back posts were clear because Boris was clear.  People listened and then came up with some weird stuff he didn't even say like 'essential'.
