Just seen on Twitter McDonalds is shutting.

I guess we'll find out here soon. Only 102 cases, 2 in hospital and no deaths but the borders are closed (to people not freight) and the PM has today, closed all schools and non essential businesses. Not sure if that includes Maccas.
Plus were heading towards winter:(
Sounds like you’re ahead of us on lockdown, certainly as regards your current status and the number of cases you have.

Ahead of us ,, Again , well done them an island that could get rid of it pretty quick with good management , oh hang on

Don't know if it will work but probably worth a try.
Problem is all the overseas Kiwis have come home, probably fetched it with them.:banghead:
Time will tell, Mrs pom is considered a key worker so still working.
I get a 5 and 7 year old at home for god knows how long:eek:

With the fine weather yesterday our small urban park was full of youngsters who definitely weren’t social distancing. May as well be at school because closing schools was meant to increase distancing. What’s the point?

Some stage this week the government will have to instruct parents to keep children at home 24/7 if it is serious about creating a firebreak, which I assume is the plan?!

Parents can't seem to be able to get their kids to sit still for 5 mins.....they won't be able to bring themselves to say NO to little johnny when he tells them he is going outside ....he might just cry and get all upset and we can't have that !!
Send them to school I say !!!

A population that relies on Mac Donald’s , Jesus wept their is no hope what a bunch of utter tossers the brits are ffs .
I don't use McDonalds and probably never will but boy am I glad they exist ...... they clear up a huge amount of our cull cows and they employ a huge amount of people .. No we don't rely on them but they do play a large part in the economy . ........ never thought I would ever be sticking up for Muck D's

They are also slightly better at creating and budgeting for very pro British agriculture adverts (AHDB take note)
