Latest evidence suggests mitigation strategy won't work and suppression (lockdown) is best - but outcome of that not great either

Lockdown = Your party will be voted out at next election!

Mitigation = No voters left at next election! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

So what do I do? I am 71 and supposed to be self isolating. My FL2 MOT comes up in a week or so. It’s booked in at the dealers for service and MOT on Friday.

I would see if I could book a demo petrol DS for a few hours and go and test drive that whilst yours is being serviced. Dealers will be desperate to sell cars knowing a lockdown is inevitable, and will most likely bend over backwards if they get the slightest hint that you have money to spend. Plus you will be pleasantly surprised with the overall experience of the car. Then go back and drink their coffee and eat their pastries

If it be cars, houses, etc ..... you have now, you are highly likely to have the same this time next year.

The only variables are wives and mistresses.





I, myself, will not be going on my single 6 month adventure this summer. I will stay in my barn .......... and count my money.

My MOT was due mid April, I chose to bring it forward by 6 weeks. I know that has compromised my anniversary date. But in the scheme of things ..... who cares !

My brother who lives in Glasgow informs me his local Sainsbury's looks like a Russian shop.
He may have to buy fruit



Just hit upon a great money maker. No one has published "CoronaVirus for Dummies"
I'll call up my publisher

After trying to understand latest advice, I would suggest that travelling to and from your MOT/service in your own car is safe.
Keep clear of crowded places while waiting for car, and take a few disinfectant wipes, to go round interior of car to make it your safe space again to return home.

I normally have book a courtesy car, and with a wipe down it should be another safe space.
