Working again! - our theatres have been closed since 16th March last year. Being in the rehersal room, getting the show into the theatre (hell, even production week sounds like fun at the moment!) and then opening. Hearing the first note of the overture on the first night back with an...

I use iTubeGo ( https://itubego.com ) - it's a paid application but I've found it ideal for downloading videos and well worth the money It works fine on YouTube and Facebook and I've found it to work fine on some non-geoblocked TV station websites such as SVT (Sweden), NRK (Norway), LRT...

It does come at the same time that his own government is advising that door to door campaigning for the upcoming elections(even just leafleting) is "neither essential nor necessary" So a 400 mile+ trip to campaign against independence is probably pushing it (it's also likely to have the...

If it came to anything I expect it would be IIR surgical masks not FFP2 or FFP3. It's what NHS staff use in non-covid environments and what a lot of folk are already using (they are also MUCH cheaper than FFP masks - about 20p each)

There was a suggestion that the modal shift from rail to road due to the widespread restrictions after the Hatfield crash was likely to cause more fatalities than the crash itself. The SRA argued that it would be safer to remove the speed restrictions and have passengers return to rail than...

A face shield on its own basically provides very little to no protection so is pointless for the general public. However a face shield combined with a proper RPE facemask does provide additional protection for the wearer in higher risk situations (eg close contact work) as the eyes are a...

Food retailers (along with a list of "essential" retail) are allowed to be fully open anyway so this change doesn't apply to them. All "Non-essential" retail was allowed to trade as click and collect only - today's changes stop some of those offering click and collect Examples off the top of...

Public consumption of alcohol is banned in quite a lot of Scotland already by local by-laws - I think this is the first national restriction In Edinburgh the pubs around the Meadows did a roaring trade in the summer - that seemed to be generally OK as there is plenty space to distance and...

She did state this was a more of a technical change to remove a possible loophole/gap in the Regulations and to align it better with the equivalent Regulations in the other UK nations The relevant part of the speech from today...

One of the contributors on CAMRA Discourse has suggested this several times only to be shot down by people who actually run pubs There is no "safety in numbers" for licenced premises - as some pubs have found breaching covid regulations gets your pubs licence pulled pretty damn quick If pubs...

The problem with an action like that would be the complete and permanent loss of all expert advisors to government. No scientists, epidemiologists, virologists, economists, medics, nothing, all gone- nobody would touch it with a bargepole

Tesco had a big review of stores in 2016 and a lot of stores stopped opening 24hrs along with a removal of night shift working (which unfortunately means the shop floor is full of stock cages most of the evening instead of overnight)

I wasn't keen on the whole idea and never particpated, although I know a couple of folk in the NHS who did say it did give them a wee lift in some pretty dark days. For me personally it did cause some amusement. Since the first lockdown I've been doing a delivery run very Thursday for a local...

This is the latest amendment: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2021/1/introduction/made The original SSI this amends has been updated and can be found here: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ssi/2020/344/introduction

PACE does not apply in Scotland - I think The Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2016 covers most of the same areas (power of arrest etc)

I think that's just standard procedure under Scots Law - the person is arrested by Police then formally charged whilst in Police custody, a report is then sent to the Procurator Fiscal "Being arrested" sounds more dramatic than it often is, you get images of folk being forced to the ground...

There is not a chance in hell this is a genuine document from the CDC - just reading the language tells us this. There's spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and official documents don't put RANDOM words in CAPITALS or "quotes" for effect. This sort of bull**** misinformation is downright...

Prentice base their 2 zones from Haddington whereas ECB/LCB base theirs from Edinburgh out- the urban area being largely flat fare (£1.60 single) and the rural being variable with distance Despite bring in different sones the fare to Seton Sands and the fare to Port Seton are the same. Not...

I think you would have to keep Balerno in the city zone - it forms a natural outer limit for the zone. I'm not sure where else you would put the boundary otherwise as there is no obvious gap in the continuous built up area along the route to use You'd also have to consider the outer edges of...

Furlough pay is still taxable as normal (plus NI, pensions etc) - so the treasury will be getting some money back from anyone who was earning over about £16000 per year normally. The SEISS grants had to be planned and implemented in a realy quick and dirty way. My understanding is that, rather...
