Way more, I did 14 days solid in April where I'd drank, and I've not done that for a very long time if ever. No doubt the weather and being off work plays a major factor too, I've sank 30 this weekend, many sat in the sun listening to music. I dont drink usually the night before work, and if I did i...

There weren’t 6 in the car

Some of those charged are for assisting an offender

Ah, so not 6 charged with murder then like Tiger said, thought it was strange.

A 34-year-old man has become the sixth person to be charged with the murder of a law student in a drive-by shooting.

Wowzers, I heard they were a number of occupants but 6?!

Such a shame families won’t be able to celebrate together this year.

Absolutely, it'll be very tough not being able to celebrate with family and friends like normal

As like everything else during this pandemic, there will be stories and experiences to speak about for years to come.

MACCA

Eid Mubarak to all that celebrate, hope you have the best day possible.

People with step children have been crossing houses since day dot.

Thank you, Nigella !

Of all the years my daughter did at primary school at the end of each year the teacher were leaving for another school or career.

You won’t be, at all!

Macca is clearly not basing the whole of the country on the 2 people he knows - he’s just saying that he knows 2 teachers who feel this way - which coincidentally is the same number as I know (and I only know 2 teachers who I have spoken to about this) I know more than 2, just I've only managed to ...

Shocking post. I for one cannot wait to return to work, id go back tomorrow if I could, so to make such a generalised statement because 2 people you know are enjoying their time ‘off’ is totally stupid.

If schools don't return until August then mine will not be going back until the new year starts in September as we have our holidays booked in based around the original school year.

MACCA

It’s safer and more accurate saying what you have said than the unions who have said every single teacher wants to return to work. And the only reason I know that to be a fact is because I know more than one teacher (which therefore equates to “some”) who feels this way. I also know of 2, one who t...

It’ll be safe when the R rate is close to zero, certainly less than 0.5. The trouble is the government has taken a broad brush approach to this mainly based on what’s happening in London. It may be safe for London schools to return with an R rate of 0.4, but the rest of the country is higher and pa...

Or maybe they want to work in a safe environment. When the majority of the country are still at home it’s a reasonable ask.

Looking on the bright side - any parents who want to take their child out of school for a few days to get cheap holidays (or whatever) will no longer have to suffer the "every day at school is vital" arguments. Not when they can quote the "it's hardly worth bothering for 7 weeks" arguments in excha...

Teachers are working from home. Many are doing shifts in school as well. It’s not “free money.” I'm aware of that, but there is no getting away from the fact its far easier, and better suited for them to be doing so. Those doing the shifts in school are basically acting as carers at the minute, the...

The poll I linked shows only 5% of teachers think it’s safe to return to work. So 95% would prefer to collect their full wage packet for doing less work, no work, shorter working days, shorter working weeks, working around their family life, with no commute? Well I never. Like I said, take their pa...

Some people are testing positive and have no symptoms what so ever.

A major plus if there are little or no effects for some people.
Surely a plus if some are just feeling a little groggy for a few days like a normal cold or viral infection.

Sometimes there's little to no choice but to return to normality for some, obviously whilst sitting on full pay, work load drastically reduced and able to do any work from home, the eagerness to go back will be somewhat minimal for some.

I'd say you are. Your choice, I suppose, and to be respected - just as though others who would reject what you are doing as being reckless are to be respected, too.

Your point made zero sense though as you said if Bury Council don’t want schools back on 1st June then they should just also have ignored the government lockdown altogether which would allow you to go about life as normal pre virus? Hey just my opinion though..

If they were following that logic then wouldn’t they have every child from every year group in both primary and secondary school back??

Tiger - the question is, how do you know when the child contracted Covid19 and where from. Obviously a normal school environment helps illness spread quickly due to the amount of children in one place, and children's actions and hygiene not being the best. The question is what figures or stats are p...
