That is mental, and just shows further evidence of the stupidity that is being mercilessly exposed in this country. We are working at home, IF we must go into the office for access to some key systems it has to be scheduled with the SLT who will arrange a slot so you are not there when someone else is there.

The problem is tens of thousands of keyworkers are told to go to work, at the same time as London underground has drastically cut the service, people are waiting so long for trains by the time they arrive they are packed. Just another example of a disjointed response to the virus, Government has done no thinking outside its own little bubble.

That as well. Its all part of the value exchange, your data is valuable, but in exchange the business has permission from you to use the data. To be fair, larger companies are generally much more responsible with it than people give them credit for. The first question when using data is 'how does this benefit the customer' if it doesn't, it falls at the first hurdle. The companies you have to look out for are ones without the large data/legal support departments for instance a well known dent repair company that let my data be taken by an ex-employee setting up his own business...who had no idea what GDPR actually meant. Anyway, went out for my essentials today, walked up to the little shop at the top of my road rather than the supermarket. Three people pull up in a car, get out all chatting joking etc. and also go in the shop. I really think people still don't get it. But how do you educate the genuinely stupid en-masse?

But every person the police speak to will just say 'its my first time out today I'm off on a walk' unless the police have actually seen an individual out multiple times it's impossible to police as the person just says Im off to the shops, or on my daily walk I am allowed. They could have been out 5 times already and be walking to their friends house, how do the police actually know? The only fines I can see are if groups are congregating who fail to disperse and they arrest them. Otherwise, policing this is impossible, there aren't enough police to check every road and enough to run the paperwork.

How do you even go about policing it? Bloke is walking down the street, has he been out five times that day or once? Is he taking legitimate exercise or just walking to his mates house? There was a chap on BBC News after the speech saying that police will not in most cases issue fines as the amount of paperwork involved in this new process will mean taking people back to the station and them being off the streets for hours. Again, we need the adults in this country to behave like adults. Hope people finally take things seriously, although it wont be full compliance as there are far too many stupid people in this country.

It's amazing what can be done - even calculating things such as sensitivity ratings (so we do not email people marketing on pet products for instance if we believe they have recently lost a pet). So much is done to understand the customer to do the best by them, you still have to put up with a load of grief, and a load of complaints from people who understand square root of zero about how it all works. Today is the start of a partial lockdown, lets see how we get on. Hopefully it will stop all the holidaying thats been going on and we can finally start giving the frontline staff the respect we so far have done nothing of the sort of. So much rubbish you hear about 'how we should protect our NHS' and 'what heroes nurses are' etc. in debates yet when we had the chance to make a difference ourselves the general public failed miserably. None will admit to it though.

And there you have it, when you have such a dumb population, we get locked down. You could argue it was inevitable, but in any case people were not listening, because they think they know better. Morons, the lot of them. Bet they still point their finger at everyone else.

I work for Nectar

They know a lot more than you realise more data analysis happens than you can imagine in supermarket transnational databases, lots of segmentation's exist based on shopping habits.

Supermarkets are looking hard at online deliveries now, so much going on with people putting in orders daily and using up way too many slots. What they will do is only allow orders for those that are most at risk i.e. the elderly. Too right too, again so many selfish self entitled people who think they cannot manage without a daily free delivery of their favourite sushi. I think we have conclusively shown as a country we are absolutely hopeless in an emergency full of over pampered and self entitled people. As a country, we are an F in the exam.

I guarantee there will be cross country complaints and moaning the second we go into lock-down, everyone that caused this will be pointing the finger elsewhere, because quite simply. they are stupid. I honestly think two thirds of this country are not fit for purpose to be allowed to even vote.

I think Boris was a bit too wishy washy early on, very vague, no real leadership and threw in some ridiculous comments like 'expect to lose loved ones' etc. he has never been a strong leader, just a popular one amongst his own people. His lack of focus has lead us here and only in the last week has he come across as really trying to say how serious it is that we social distance etc. Again like a classroom if you let the kids run amok when they walk through the door, its too late to get them to behave two minutes later. We have all this time had a crystal ball at our disposal over in Italy, none of which was taken seriously until the last week or so by our government.

I get the feeling today we could see a big stamping down - there are too many idiots in this country, certainly more than other countries, who just don't seem to understand what they are doing is so detrimental to the country. Clearly we have as a country demonstrated a lack of ability to act like adults and too much like children, and in class, children are told what to do and disciplined if they misbehave. Sad state of affairs, it really is.

In my mind some good practice: 1. People spending too much time watching the news which is sensationalising where they can to maintain engagement - tune in to Boris's announcements each day and ignore the rest of it we don't need the news on all day in the background where they are desperately looking for the next bit of bad news to over exaggerate 2. Too much social media sharing of queues in stores, the mindless amongst us, of which there are many more than anyone ever expected, are panicking and running down the shops to buy more food than they can possible consume. Stop sharing videos, stop posting up gossip, just stop posting stuff and the sheep will calm down 3. Russia is having a field day, they intervened in elections, brexit, anything that undermines democracy - a lot of the panic imagery (such as the army on the streets rubbish circulated last week) is coming from there, again don't share it 4. Social distancing is a thing, just make sensible trips, the government have treated us like adults so far but again too many stupid people in the population out there which means they will treat us like children very soon And to beat my own personal drum - STOP PANIC BUYING FOOD - there is loads, we are not going to starve, be sensible and think of others. One thing I have learned from all this is that moreso in this country than others, people are inherently selfish and stupid. So much self entitlement in the UK it's unreal.

I got it on my car, the best way to get it to click is to drive next to a wall in first gear and throttle on and off with the windows open, you can much easier hear the noise bouncing back at you.

Yeah that ferrari looks like it has crashed through halfords at some pace and come out the otherside looking like that

Phew, not just me then

Still, I would be suing Nissan for copyrights clearly they are about to release a Z, again, at a motorshow somewhere, again

This was also registered in Canada by Nissan in 2016 Until I see something official its just another story made up by the ever bored motoring press!

Hope this helps drive home the message - sorry to bang on about it but all those morons out there buying two of everything, going in during first hour opening times to take advantage, because for some moronic reason you think you will somehow starve if you don't. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-york-north-yorkshire-51966337/coronavirus-nurse-s-despair-as-panic-buyers-clear-shelves

As long as receipts are there and it all looks genuine then I wouldnt get too hung up on not having stamps in the book. Would rather have receipts and no stamp than a stamp and no receipts! Anyone can stamp a book, and servicing isn't rocket science lots of people can do the work themselves.

I wonder if in a lock-down I will be allowed to clean my car outside my house...its right there staring at me through the window

Totally with you. The behaviour of quite a lot of the country has been nothing short of self serving, selfish, mindless morons who know no shame. We do not live in a country where in a lock-down the police will shoot you on sight, or in a country where starvation is a way of life, or in a country where we have a life expectancy of 35. You would think it was the apocalypse or something and people and treating our hard workers like crap. I was speaking to a shop till worker the other day, she was in pieces having worked long hours, had nothing but moaning from people, she doesn't have a massive stockpile of food at home she only had her 80 year old mother. Yet I am still seeing, even yesterday, a professional couple, with a trolley basically buying two of anything they can get their hands on with enough food to feed a family of 6 for a month - I bet half of it they throw away. Lenin was right, a nation is just three meals away from chaos - because of the basic need to be selfish in many of the people that make it up.

Basically half the country is a keyworker! Car mechanics that keep the lorries on the road, that ultimately deliver the supplies. The people that work for the thousands of companies that produce food in the food supply chain. Farmers. Rubbish collection and recycling. The list is much longer than pointing at the obvious public services.
