About half a mile, much further than I remembered them being

Tyndrum Lower and Upper Tyndrum?

Certainly from a crew perspective, crew from EZY UK can only operate on the UK registered aircraft, and likewise for EZY Europe crew. Before Brexit was a thing there was a lot in the way of sending say Gatwick pilots to Tegel to operate, although for the last while that's only been done as an...

Newcastle does really surprise me, it always did a roaring trade in the summer the few times I was called to work from there. The operation there is much smaller than the likes of Jet2 though, and there was always much less in terms of winter trade, whereas Glasgow (a similarly sized regional...

A A basic acknowledgement that we're living in what are strange times, regardless of how much of a threat you think COVID is, doesn't really seem like it should warrant that reaction. It's basically the equivalent of someone saying "Have a nice day" when you leave the shop, it's not that deep...

Been on 3 trains today, as I travelled up to Scotland to visit family for the first time since March (All distanced of course) On LNR the guard made absolutely incessant announcements about masks, to the point of making individual ones calling out passengers who weren't wearing them (You in the...

To be fair, the economy is tanked whether or not I sit at home stressing about the economic outlook of the UK or go to the beach, nowt I as a young person can do about it so I may as well get a tan (Not that I've had much downtime, I've been working right the way through)

I thought they were compulsory on Avanti, certainly many shouty announcements to that effect at Euston, and the woman in the ticket office told me I'd need a reservation before I dared to think of setting foot on my Glasgow train on Saturday, not that she could do me a reservation, of course

As former crew, to answer A and B in day to day operations you don't. At least on the Baby Bus, anyone can open a door from the outside with no key, and they would sit that way overnight at base etc

The first time I went out wearing one I had the exact same issue, it absolutely does get better and more 'natural' the longer you do it. I'm at the point now where I really don't notice it when I'm commuting

I've been commuting on the Metropolitan line regularly before and after the change to compulsory masks. There's been a big uptick in the number of people wearing them since last week, from maybe 2-3 on a train to almost everyone. I have noticed a *lot* of people just covering their mouth...

This is a strange one, I was fairly sure that they'd already U-turned on that, because people were saying basically the same thing. At any rate, there seems to be no social distancing on the tube, largely because it's impossible

Well, I've just spent my day wearing one on the tube to work, whenever I was in a customer area at work, and then on the tube home. I really would've been the odd one out had I not done so. I even managed to eat and drink water on the tube without the BTP whisking me away to a cell and throwing...

Yep, my TOC has told is we won't be backed up for delays caused by enforcing it, and that we shouldn't be trying to enforce face coverings in the first place

While I've been commuting in an out of work at St Pancras, more often than not I've been the only person at Chesham station, at most maybe 2 or 3 others. There were maybe about 15-20 people today, and a similar number getting off. Masks were exceptionally rare in weeks past too, I wasn't wearing...

Very busy on the Metropolitan today, even as far out as Chesham. Almost 100% compliance with the coverings too

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jun/14/what-could-a-physically-distanced-uk-look-like-after-lockdown I'm generally pretty pro controls, moreso than most on this site I think, but my god NONE of this is in any way appealing and I don't know anyone that would want to live like this

Absolutely I know, something along the lines of 12-13 years IIRC. But as @Bletchleyite was getting at above, we're already seeing success with various combinations of pre-existing drugs, hopefully using information we learned from SARS and other coronaviruses. I was more suggesting that even if...

But we do now have an effective treatment that means that people (like myself) can live a long and productive life, without symptoms. A treatment that means people aren't consigned to an ICU bed for 2 weeks fighting for their lives would be the other 'golden ticket' if you like, for removing...
