Have you seen the onslaught on facebook and twitter where people had taken photos of them working. They then posted about them on social media and called them every name under the heavens!
Seen videos where ones have shouted abuse at them as well.

However, for all the negative experiences im sure there are plenty of encouraging ones to out weigh

I worked and met one person all day. Tomorrow I値l be working in a different location which値l be the same place for the rest of the week, equally isolated. The customer called me today to confirm I would still be there tomorrow morning.

I expect to be bored out of my skull by the end of the week.

I may post some pics end of Friday.

Cleaned 17 houses today, people were home in each one. Not one bad comment.

Very apprehensive about going out this morning but glad I did. Very careful to keep my distance from people.

If the government want us to stay at home and not work they really need to make it crystal clear, which to me they have not (unless I missed a recent announcement).

I think the guidelines will be tightened shortly.  He spoilt it for us by saying Key Workers only.   People do not class us as key  workers.

Matt Hancock said today that if you can't work from home then it's OK to work. He actually encouraged it as the country needs to keep going.

sensible,professional,sole trader gardeners and window cleaners should be exempt......their good for the community spirit......in fact they provide a sense of normality and familiarity for lots of people.......as well as pride in their homes/gardens,etc......they  also offer   a sympathetic ear and/or a chat and a laugh to help the day along....esp in uncertain times like these......
price higher/work harder!
