Of course I’ll be in, fridge jockey. #notallheroeswearcapes.
LIKE…^^^^^^^
3 drops of bakery products for me tomorrow… Dunnna dunnnna Bakery…
I’d like to congratulate you on your acute awareness of social distancing this morning biggriffin, I noticed that you distanced yourself away from me until the coffee machine was nowhere near us!
If you’d have made yourself known, a bit early I would have treated you, I did withdraw a safe distance and went to Gregg’s. On leaving.

Says the guy who wouldn’t come and meet me for a pint a couple of weeks ago, who was only parked 10 miles off me that night…
I even told him I’d buy his supper ffs, so I’m kinda used to social distancing from everybody, it’s normal life for me #notgotacomplex…honest.

I was gonna come meet you but then I remembered that you’d bought Beaver breakfast and that shiny pound pocket money that your Missus allows you would be gone so it’d be up to me to support your alcohol habit!
I’ve asked the boss what I should do. She said they’re having a meeting in the morning. So that’ll be after 9am I asked. Not much use to me when I’m in at 3! [emoji35] I’ll be in bloody Kent by then. Having said that, I’ll be surprised if the building sites are accepting deliveries anyway. I’ve got 13 drops so I’m sure I’ll get some of them off. [emoji849]

I think the only thing you, all.of us really, can do is crack on until told otherwise.
Check how many drops you’ve got on tomorrow. If you have more than 5, you might want to record yourself saying “Yeah boss, just got to the site, there’s no one here, looks like this one’s closed as well”. Saves wasting your breath too much

I think it more depends on what you do when you get to work that is the important bit.
So if you work in a, say…car repair or an electronic goods store/warehouse you’re going to phone your boss tomorrow and say ‘Sry boss, mr Johnson told me to stay home, I don’t think my job is that important or essential to society right now’ - good luck
Those types of places will be closed tomorrow so it would be you getting the call, not the boss.
Maybe.
But how will a nurse get to work if her car is broke down?
How will electronic engineers get parts for broken gizmos in automated warehouses?
Where are the components for new ventilator we are getting?
It ISN’T obvious what is essential.

I am the second line of your list.
Today I have visited a couple of local suppliers to see how they stand in supporting our business in these times of lock down, given that I was looking forward to the prospect of a month off. The stupid blinking government has decided the sector I work in is essential.
The general consensus is, although these suppliers are considered “non essential” in their own right, to my mind, I am going to last about 10 days on the outside without their support.
The thing about society is that everyone relies on everybody else. You cannot just remove one pillar and not expect the whole fudging roof to come down and yet, idiots are fighting over bog rolls.
Well I’m in That London place, Traffic levels like a Sunday, people still going about as per normal, buses half full with “key brown workers” cash n Carry’s flat out, so takeaways doing a bit extra business… No change really.
If you have not been let go already, then chances are that your firm is going to take the 80% subsidy, one of the conditions I understand to be “If you now lay anyone off - you must pay back this money”…

Our local Teavis Perkins has announced closure I’ve heard, so I’d imagine they are all the same.
Travis Perkins are considering accepting delivery orders , as in no_one (customers)is allowed on site but their goods will be delivered to them .great idea it will protect the yard staff from interacting with contaminated customers . …drivers ■■? Zb em!, Scum!
