Large goods vehicle, but you are right it can also mean light goods vehicle, its hard work keeping up mate I still call it VOSA instead of the DVSA ?

Potential earning I suspect and probably ADR but yes rumour has it the shortage is so severe ASDA are paying upwards of £25 p/h and the usual prepare yourself for food shortages has started. Agree, average age of a UK LGV driver is 53 apparently.

Had a advert out for LGV vacuum tanker drivers for almost a month now Mon-Fri 7-4 £15ph flat, over time paid at 1.5 and x2 and only had 5 applicants, one didn't even have a LGV licence! Contacted 4 only 2 responded, only 1 out of the 2 turned up for the interview and didn't want the job. Certain sectors are struggling to recruit at the moment and cant see that changing for a while, 18 months of free money for a lot of people and they cant be arsed to get back in the market. For the grafters its great can name their price, one transport company in Bristol has increased drivers pay by 25% just t

I remember, had a Russian chap working for them called Dropabottleofpopov ?

The two books to ever leave me thinking wow! The Dig, Cynan Jones & The Kid, Kevin Lewis. Into the wild, John Krakauer and then two controversial and different ones, Sex drugs and football thugs, Mark Chester and a interesting read Enemy of the state, Tommy Robinson.

'Savage' otter given pride of place in manor grounds despite killing prized swan (telegraph.co.uk) Hope your well P ? There was a Swan at Combwhich ponds the locals named "cyanide" because he was deadly and would attack anything that got close. A otter is now a resident of the ponds and "cyanide" is conspicuous in his absence ?

Gurt lush accent ?

Peanut butter is a great bait but the mice always seem to clear it out before the rats get to it so try something a bit more "substantial" and I would also remove the back solid panel and put on some wire. I've always found rats and squirrels will be more likely to enter if they think they have another escape route, and change the location of the traps regularly if you stop catching.

If you watched the BBC news last night it would have you believe 99% BAME the other 1% white ?

Ive seen a load of companies have done these, what I don't get is they work out at about £5 and can apparently give a 97% accurate test result in minutes ! Why aren't the test centres using them and why did they stop the 30min fast tracking of vehicles to France because the test weren't accurate enough ? Even a test with the high street chemists takes 24hrs and costs £100+. If they are that great provide households them FOC and get everyone self testing every few days and back to work . Its another covid mystery ?

Seen loads live some have been a complete let down, saw Madness a few years back for the 4th time and they were shocking and should have given up years ago. Glastonbury 83 was my first proper live gig and shaped my taste for music later on in life with Marillion become a band I followed for years after.

Shocking, but as GM alluded to hardly surprising the world seems to be in self destruct mode. I was going to say "were all going to hell in a handcart" which considering its origins is ironic ?

Some representative from the teachers union on the news this morning complaining that to many children were in the schools when it should only be children of essential workers................When is the penny going to drop that almost everyone in employment is being classed as a essential worker ?
-
I don't think anyone would dispute a "lockdown" would not help in this situation but this isn't a lockdown. I work in a heavy industrialised area and there is not one single unit/operation that is not running, its as busy as it always have been. It feels more and more like our ability to do anything outside of work has been taken away and our civil liberties are being eroded.
-
I hope not, I'm moving further down South to get away from the shit stain that is Bristol ??
-
And has anyone seen the list of "essential workers" it appears almost everything other than leisure and activities are ok to crack on at work. The more this goes on the more it feels like a control thing.

Heard similar from a nurse based at Taunton, she was actually fast tracked so she could come to Bristol to man the Nightingale on the March lockdown, and we no what happened with that. I was also reading they reckon over 50% of the population have already had it without even knowing! I'm not suggesting the virus isn't serious but the response just seems to get more and more bizarre. Had a email from the Angling Trust last night fishing has been banned completely I seriously don't know how that is worse than me or the wife going to work and mixing with hundreds of strangers ?

There you go Max https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear everything is open to abuse, if you ask politely I'm sure the "trout pouted" shop assistant would have explained why. If she was behind a screen that is deemed as protection enough ?

Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the first man to completely cross Antarctica by foot and the world’s most prolific endurance record holder, swears by these Skee-Tex Thermal Boots and has worn them on many of his polar expeditions.

My wife works in a shop and is exempt from wearing a mask because of medical conditions, she wears a badge explaining that. You do not need a medical certificate to prove you are exempt and can download the badges from the government website. There are rumours that individual stores may make them compulsory for all staff and those that cant wear mask will be moved to a non customer focused role or put on full sick. Not a dig but If it concerns you that much why not ask politely why they are not wearing one if its medical reasons I'm sure they would explain why ? Sometimes asking in

There was a doctor on LBC radio from Gloucester yesterday talking about this, reckons the video was taken of the corridors around the wards and these were empty because of isolation he said if the video would have shown the wards they were packed. I presume the arrest was made because it was a isolation and she shouldn't have been near the ward but that was not mentioned. Did make a valid point that no film crews are allowed in as it wouldn't be fair on the families of the patients who are not allowed access. IMO he didn't sound to convincing and the usual soundbites were spewed out.

Buy and try, Westbury on Trym ? Just like a sweet shop without the sweets ?

I didn't compare nurses and doctors to bin men and sewage workers though, I questioned why the need for such adulation for a organisation and its employees who are paid to do a job, they are especially needed in times like these but 76,200 of them go sick on one day but are still treated like messiahs. Life's experiences mould your opinions and thoughts and mine are the NHS are not the saviours they are being made out to be.
-
Actually you wouldnt last long if everyone's waste or sewage system stopped and the consequences would be more severe than covid. I worked in the NHS and left because I couldnt stomach the red tape and in some cases the unprofessional attitude of a large number of the people I worked with, not all, but quite a few.

Sorry about your Grandparents and to answer your question its sadly a bit of both.
