Could these be the key workers children who have continued to attend school throughout the lockdown Karlos?

They have been catering for key workers the whole time, my daughter works there and I know someone who have taken advantage when they are both at work.

Pablo,
Latest from CRT (today) can start moving 1/6.
To Cropredy today for necessary diesel (CH etc) - essential move.
Was passed en route by two 'famous' You Tube/ Twitter canal boat 'personalities' who seem to have spent the past two months always heading to the 'next' water point!
I won't name names but as a supporter of the East Kent Hunt ....

I'd walked past quite a few times at around the same time in recent weeks and the school had always looked closed.

More than happy to clap for a Programme Manager employed to ensure the NHS improves sustainability. Time we started to reduce our carbon footprint by buying BRITISH rather than importing cheap foreign crap and US corporate pharma.

A nice little number I would imagine, just stick a wind turbine in the staff car park and job done, simples!

Like the one we had at Fort Winfield? Anybody know how much that lost DDC?

Didn't realise there were so many red herrings in England's canals. This site's sure a font of wisdom.

Yes WGS, it’s quite an education to access some of the bow lochs and carping that emulates from a night spent on a tub rolling on the ripples after a trip on the vino!
Perhaps a stern correction might be in order to right a rudderless journey through uncharted muddled waters. If the long float can achieve this it would be worthy of a bow spritzer.

Seems the government need to reinforce their bad news agenda, that is unless it suits them otherwise when they think we need a small boost.
BTW I assume the report is accurate, but with all the virus waffle that has been fed to us from the start who knows.

Not surprised at all. In spite of the fact that the stats should be readily available organisations seem loathe to tell us the results of what they have done with OUR money while working for US.
Simon Jones has same problem getting stats from Home Office about channel crossings.
Try finding out anything going on in the district via Fort Whitfield and you will find figures are unavailable due to 'commercial confidentiality'.

No wonder the government along with its advisors have made such a pig's ear of the situation with this only just being promoted. I knew about this weeks ago from TV reports and later confirmed by my neighbour who luckily made a fairly quick recovery from the virus.

....fever or loss of smell or taste (also called anosmia) ........
#622. TTWD....Could your songster have realised anosmia was an anagram of Sona Mia and he was perhaps trying to bring it to everyone’s attention?
