Straightforward rules for many, but for those farming - livestock feed supplies that we normally collect in store?

Essential tractor parts esp for livestock farms, also milking machine repairs, chemicals etc? If someone can't feed 500 cows because their tractor has a puncture.....

With the announcement being made at this time of night, whilst it does prevent any panic buying, massive confusion for some businesses in the morning!

 

[John Slejpner]

Chris F was well informed.

Good job Boris

 

[Gong Farmer]

Essential work continues as normal.

Like will I be able to deliver hay bales to livery yard as I do every Friday?

Just carry on as normal. You are either a farmer or a delivery driver. Both are essential.

The UK always was a police state, the pretence of being otherwise has simply been dropped.

Hopefully,
given that you can drive to work because you can't work from home...it is inferred if your work is deliveries or collection or servicing or maintenance ...that is fine.

No attempt to stop non essential work.

Every attempt to stop people from different homes mixing unnecessarily / in any sort of group bigger than about 2?

I am assuming Danny can still service the combine, and i can help him. Taking appropriate care.

This all strikes me as very well judged.

Can family members visit each other? (i.e. can daughter bring her baby to us so she can work?)

 

[Scribus]

So you get fined for being in a group of three people, none of whom have an income and so won't be paying it. Well, that's some deterrent alright.

 

[Scribus]

Only when queuing at a soup kitchen.
