A sad milestone today

Certainly right, John, and all I think of is an enormous spreadsheet somewhere in London, making statistics fit a programme which included the costs of furlough, real panic, indecision etc, when absolutely nobody could forecast what would happen just about anywhere! There were some hard decisions to make, and all of them would have been (and were usually), torn apart by the press and most other commentators. Politics went out of the window of course!

I just remember Excel (an enormous place for many previous commercial Growster 'triumphs'), being re-designed as a huge field hospital, and then wondering how it just became a contingency 'in case'.

All I thought was, 'if you're ill, be told to stay away and be treated off-pitch'!

Just remembered a line from a book I read as a youngster, where a chap couldn't join the RAF, as he had once caught TB.

He just said '****** that', went to Canada, worked as a logger in the still cold air in the hills for a year, came back and was accepted immediately!

(Sometimes a good read in a good book means so much later on, doesn't it)!

My friend who works in a school tells me they’re having the windows open all the time & are having to wrap up well
