Most bigger supermarkets and chemists sell hair styling electrical goods, so I see no problem in them being purchased as an addition to the essential grocery or medical shop. Obviously a special visit would be not within the guidelines/law.

Barbers and Hairdressers are one of those luxurys we see as nescesities, There are very few who really need for health or H&S reasons to have their haircut. The actual hairdressers and barbers I feel sorry for.

Employment law allows companies to cancel leave. Different notice periods depending on length of booked leave.

Obviously it depends on the nature of the business whether they need more staff in December. Where I am there is very few who want weeks off in November, December, also October, January and February except Xmas and New Years week (1/2 terms being a bit of an exception or Easter) so it would...

The big problem with that, although I agree with the principal, is next time you go shopping the essentials may not be there. My 2 local supermarkets have not had pasta or tinned tomatoes in for my last few visits and I am now getting very low on both and a week ago both only had massive bottles...

There must also have been stations on mainlines that have stayed open because there was a service to a branch that could still stop at them. Would Duffield and Belper stayed open if the line to Matlock had not been retained as a branch?

IIRC when the Selby deviation opened the CWR from the bit of the ECML that closed was used on a secondary line elsewhere.

It amuses me that there is a Welsh translation for Manchester but not for Piccadilly.

If someone has a pram or as in the case yesterday a guide dog I consider it my responsibility to if at all possible get out the way, and would include someone with an obvious physical impediment. If you don't worry about someone taking a few seconds to pass you in the street why worry about...

The advice given recently was that although the risk of just passing someone closely is minimal it is best practice to keep the 2 metre distance where possible. There is some evidence that viral load may play a part in how badly a person reacts to the virus so again it would seem sensible to...

Obviously the sensible option is to move away or hold back if getting close to a narrow area, most people do seem to do this. Unfortunately there are a few who either don't think ahead or just don't care. 2 examples yesterday were someone walking their dog in opposite direction to me who...

A station that had a wide bridge in more or less in the middle of the platforms with easy access to all platforms and a single barrier line altered to make changing platforms awkward unless they are in the same grouping of platforms. Accepted that the bridge did not look great but it was...

If we are including LUL. Jubilee Line Canons Park, trains on/off Stanmore Sidings Central Line Ruislip Gardens, trains on/off West Ruislip

I hope she had the relevant experience to do the job. She would also have had specialist advisors. I'd trust the CV she sent on her appointment to the job rather than WIKI for her CV.

Whichever way she went her position was untenable. In a position of authority people must be seen to be an example. Making the mistake once, even if it was a "genuine" reason to shut the house down, was bad enough but twice? If she had not been caught out would she have gone to Fife next...

Sorry for being unclear I was referring to Catherine Calderwood getting her P45 costing more than any fine she was likely to recieve. Although it is now reported that she has resigned.

Strange, you have continually made posts excusing those who stretch the rules but today you suggest clamping down on people. Had it been a "chavvy looking" male and female would sexuality come into it?

Whilst the person involved was given a bad deal something must have happened for a PF issue to go so wrong, whether ethenticity had anything to do with it we will probably never know. The police have a policy of engagement and not issuing fines unless the person does not take on board the...

It would have been better if I had written "always enforcing it" as it was very quiet when I went out. It may have been a bit of common sense was being used. BTW Sainsbury & M&S were used.

But from experience yesterday they were not applying it. However nothing to stop both people going to the shops and one waiting outside or going to another shop then help with the carrying home of the goods.
