John52 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Now on verge of collapse :-S I went into Wetherspoons - there was a pile of forms by the door to fill in but nobody seemed to be bothered. I would have filled in a form if it hadn't been so crowded with the taxpayer funded subsidy, but I didn't want to hang about and catch the virus so came straight out. I would have given my real name and number too, but then I could self isolate for a fortnight without much difficulty. I can see it would be very difficult for some people to self isolate, and why they would be reluctant to do so just on the basis an infected person had been in the pub recently. So I can understand why so many apparently give a fake name and number. Not that it seems to make any difference whether they fill in the form and give their real name or not https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/sep/08/keir-starmer-warns-uks-test-and-trace-system-on-verge-of-collapse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in twice in Southport and both times bar staff made sure the form that takes seconds to fill was handed over ... Wetherspoons was no more crowded than anywhere else either ... Looks like its all nasty Wetherspoons fault ... Well the nasty owners fault ... I see plenty of folk in the co-op without masks on each morning when I buy my copy of the Guardian, maybe with your experience and mine we gan assume folk unbelievably have to take personal responsibility and one shouldn't try the blame game on pubs and shops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John52 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Melonie Brown, from Walthamstow, north London, took her 13-year-old son to school on Tuesday, only to be called in to pick him up because of a cough. “The website sent me straight to Inverness,” she said. “So we tried from a different phone to see if there was a glitch, and that one was in Telford” – 155 miles away. Not knowing what else to do, and desperate for her son to get back to school, she contacted her local MP, Stella Creasy. As it turned out, Creasy was able to point her to a closer testing centre – in Walthamstow. Brown took her son on Thursday and they queued for 10 minutes, with no need to book. Later the same day, a Serco worker there told the Guardian he had no idea know why the centre was not showing up online for locals. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/sep/11/its-world-leadingly-bad-is-what-it-is-the-week-covid-surged-again-in-uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further evidence that Scotland is better run. The Serco guy can't say whats gone wrong for commercial reasons, Serco can't afford to criticise politicians who are showering them with our money.
