Re: Community Centres for Receiving Suspected CV-19 Patients
Reports in an article today which has data from an independent source that is not tainted by some of the more politicised guff we have had presented to us in the Daily No 10 Briefing. Is anyone else tiring of the reports of an exaggerated "error free" performance made by our "working ...

Kindnesses in Our Local Shops
My BH had to make a trip to Sydenham to replenish some medication. Amongst other outlets, she visited Boots and Billings. Queueing was in the main orderly and people were in positive spirits. Two things she observed lifted her more than a little. The Boots staff were clearly working incessantly and ...

Re: An Annual Event that has NOT been cancelled
The Exeter Observatory website is at http://www.exeterobservatory.com/meteorcam/ Not so clear skies here with us or across south of England this evening (Friday). None of the cams have clear skies but once more the ones located in Exeter may prove to be best - but no guarantees I'm afraid. Do have a...

Re: An Annual Event that has NOT been cancelled
Try the Exeter Observatory website at http://www.exeterobservatory.com/meteorcam/
Select the Exeter NE image - seems to be clear sky at that location at approx 21:15 at least.
Edited to add: Any of the cams located in the west country appear to have clear skies - the time-stamps are UT.

Re: The 8pm NHS celebration
Love the bodhrán Tim. Stuart you are our second friend in the doghouse for the same reason - it must be happening the nation o'er.

An Annual Event that has NOT been cancelled
Something that all the family can watch out for - the annual Lyrid meteor shower is visible in UK skies tonight. It's a good watch and free of course. Perhaps a little competition too - who can count the most meteors and who can see the longest meteor tail. The Lyrid meteor shower will start tonight...

Not a fan of the disturbances being caused here. And our local MPS officers frown on civilians unilaterally throwing stingers across the pathway of these offenders (tempting, effective, but......). It is almost universally agreed that speed bumps are inconvenient. But the other hidden factor is thei...

Re: CV-19: Do people really think 5G is responsible ?
Observant.
Beyond the reflection of views expressed previously by our community on this forum and others, nothing.
I should have had the good sense to realise it would have been more appropriate to post this in The Pub.

That's a new one. I note it seemed to start when the gas holders where removed. Haven't seen the link evidence yet - no doubt someone will postulate a theory or hypothesis. Could they possibly have been part of the UK's virus defence grid? Previous views expressed here have had them as a primary lan...

Mayor's Lewisham Foodbank appeal passes £80k
It is great to see the coordinated effort from Lewisham kick-in. By April 9, over 2,000 people had donated £80,560, less than a month after the appeal's launch. “Their generosity means the foodbank can continue to support vulnerable residents in Lewisham at a time when they need it most.” People giv...

Re: CV-19: Do people really think 5G is responsible ?
In part I'm answering my own question here. In a live-streamed interview on YouTube with conspiracy theorist David Icke on Monday, he linked 5G technology to the CV-19 pandemic. YouTube said the video would be wiped. During the interview, Mr Icke falsely claimed there "is a link between 5G and ...
