My mums first job was at Woolworths in the 1970’s and it was on the fish counter. They had a whole floor selling food. Cheese, meat, veg, fruit etc.

Gas Board just cancelled tomorrow's appointment to service boiler. Next available date is week before Xmas 
Sounds like their engineers are dropping like flies with this virus, or having to isolate after being in contact with someone who tested positive.
It's out of control now Boris. Please do something

Exactly. Not to mention, media in china is heavily filtered by the government. We can't actually be sure if the situation there is okay
We have a number of friends from China and they speak to their family back there... they do not believe the numbers released by China at all.
It wouldn't surprise me, especially when you consider that they hid the outbreak for almost 3 months from the rest of the world
Indeed. I remember when the infections starting growing again here but the deaths remained lower - maybe around 10 to 30.
Now, in what seems no time at all we are nearer 400 than 300 and yet people still choose to deny it

Every day I check this BBC website for new case numbers. If you scroll down almost to the bottom you'll see a moving graph taking us through the year. Today the UK have become tenth country with most number of cases in the world.

Hope the link works as it's the first time I've tried to include one on here.

My area is moving to tier 2 Saturday. It's not a surprise, our cases have been flying up. But I'm really stressing about childcare, I can't work if I don't have childcare. Can anyone who is in the high tier tell me how it works with childcare. I've tried reading it and it's making my head spin.
My first ever job was a Woolie's Saturday girl. The uniform was awful!The Woolworths I worked in as a Sat kid was much more than that
My brother has just finished his law degree and was working weekends in a bar. The bar work has stopped now we are in tier 3 so hes got himself a job at our local testing site! I freaked out at first but hes outside, with ppe on, basically either directing cars or grabbing the tests through the gap in car window with a grabber etc
I probably feel better about him doing this than working in the bar tbh. Still a bit
though. £10 an hour though so good money for him in the run up to Christmas n there always gonna be work available as cant see the testing sites shutting anytime soon!

We are still able to use informal childcare arrangements, so family members who form part of your 'childcare bubble'. It's meant to only be one family who do your childcare though, not several family members swapping between days.
My understanding is that formal or informal childcare can continue. I'm in tier 2 and I have friends who use their parents for childcare a few days a week and that's all fine.
Myself and my husband have been contract traced via the app. Now in isolation for 14 days.
My husbands work place has got scary case numbers amongst the staff, and my middle child is in isolation as well due to confirmed case within her school year bubble

That's fine. It's just my mother in law that has them. But my issue is I leave really early for work (6:30) as does my husband so she usually comes to mine to take my youngest to school. She then drops him off later. She won't be able to do that will she? I leave as she arrives.
How did you find out? Hope you can get childcare sorted.
Yes she can. A childcare bubble works in the same way as a single parent bubble. They can come into your house and you can go into theirs.
