Cheshire Oaks. It brings so many tourists from everywhere, working in the store was a nightmare but Arthur McGlen will be desperate to have them all open because they’re losing ridiculous amounts of money. No way it can be done safety with social distancing in place
I must live nr you 🤣 as I would go to Cheshire oaks to shop and meet up with people there at the restaurants and coffee shops a lot , but if they do open soon I won't be visiting until I know it is definitely safe to do so, and I do feel sorry for anyone who has to back to work there

But you meet up with family, who’ve met up with their other side of the family, who’ve met up with their other side of the family... it’s endless. Social distancing at work with the same handful of people who’ve met up with nobody doesn’t have as big a risk
If they’re using public transport though again it’s a risk. There’s obviously no ideal solution

I don’t understand why suddenly people are believing what is written in the newspapers? For years we have known they make up stuff, fill in the gaps and exaggerate the truth.

Let’s wait for the official announcement tonight before getting our knickers in a twist 😉

I didn’t say they are believing it. Just said the media is confusing people. I don’t just mean newspapers.

I’m not getting my knickers in a twist. The original poster asked why people thought the lock down was going to be lifted. And I answered 😉

I keep thinking about why reception and Year 1, i can fully understand year 6, the transition to secondary for many is a big step. But why 4, 5 and 6 year olds.
I first thought maybe it was because year 1 have sats next year and reception will have learnt very little before lockdown but that doesnt work because year 5 have sats next year too.
Im wondering if its because those years and ages are the ones who need the most support and input from parents which makes working from home so much harder? Or is it because you could have a secondary age child looking after their 7/8/9/10 year old siblings when their parents return to work but not really the younger ones?
Im interested to see what my childs school have to say, i have a lot of questions for them.
I presumed it was because of transition into Septembers classes and I guess kids in those years are less likely to socialise with each other? Put years 5 & 6 in and they might play together more 🤷🏻‍♀️

Scotland and Wales both telling their people that the stay at home message is still very much at the forefront and to ignore anything that Boris says tonight
Are wales allowed to do that? Who even is the leader of wales :unsure:? This is said as an English woman living in wales for the best part of 12 years. Am I just thick? Thought we had the same government and laws.
