Really ?, they must have improved from the Air ram i bought a couple of years which went to the tip and went in the skip marked "not fit for purpose tat" My experience of them has been most impressive. We have a Dyson animal which is great but a bit on the bulky side. Hang on a minute! A poster, called 'Henry' criticising other vacuum cleaners? I've cracked the case! View AttachmentFuck, i'm rumbled. Ventilators would look better though with a big smiley face on them. Dragons Den moment me thinks.

I'm not up to date with this thread, but a friend of mine in the US has exactly the same symptoms as set out in the link and he scared to go to a hospital and does not know which one to pick if he does. He is already bankrupt through medical bills, so I guess they can't make him more financially broke. Stomach pain could indicate COVID-19 without other symptomsTerrible.😐 I have pain in my lungs, especially at one side and pain in my ribs there. Nothing else. Could it be Corona? Problems lying down and with any physical activity, occasionally problems breathing. I really hope it's caused by me running into a cupboard 10 days ago, since there are no other symptoms. 😒 It sounds like you may have broken/cracked a rib. That will give you the pain you describe. Try and breath in as deeply as possible even though it hurts. If it persists get yourself a chest xray to make sure the underlying lung is ok. Hope it settles.

View AttachmentTo be fair I've found those Hoover's much, much better than the 2 Dysons we had a few years back, I got so sick of taking them apart to get them to work I took them to the tip where, interestingly, there was hundreds of other Dysons lol. That was a few years ago, they may have improved since obviously.

Can't understand why there in no hand sanitizer at the entrance to supermarkets. An easy basic policy that none of them seem to have considered. Tesco Longton have a cleaning station as you enter to be fair.

Soap. Alcohol based hand sanitiser isn't essential at all, in fact they recommend using soap over that, as the hand sanitisers evaporate within seconds due to the alcohol, meaning that you can't clean for as long or as thoroughly as you can with soap and water. I'm safe then. Got me 2 of those plus one bottled. Not saying that hand sanitiser won't work but if using it then one blob won't be enough as it will evaporate in about 5 seconds. There's a reason surgeons scrub up with soap and water rather than just using a quick squirt of sanitiser. Just been looking at various Swedish media actually and it's really concerning the lack of info they're giving you guys and the lack of action they're taking overall. Really hope that you guys will be ok mate. This is a far bigger crisis than your govt. seem to be making it out to be.

Just before the lockdown in Spain 2 weeks ago the supermarkets were pretty rammed but the people on the checkouts were all wearing gloves and were cleaning/wiping the checkout area after each customer. Again, easy to implement but seems we haven't bothered, or at least we hadn't when I last went into a store 3 days ago. They do this in Endon co-op 👍

In Newport (Shropshire), we're lucky really as it's a small town so easier to deal with things like this. Supermarkets and boots have sanitisers for customers and the supermarkets are also insisting everyone has a trolley (they put 40 out at the start of the day and if everyone has one, then they know only 40 people are in the shop so can adequately social distance) and when 1 comes out, the trolley is then wiped and handed to another person before they can enter. As i said, i appreciate that this is all far easier to do in small, rural towns than large areas though.

I recently read an article somewhere which explained that the Virus has some kind of waxy coating which protects it.
It went on to explain that good old fashioned Soap was by far the best thing as it breaks down this outer layer.
My only problem is that I have a Combi boiler and often have to run off a few gallons of water before the hot comes through! 🥺 ⚓️

I hope you get help, Jimmy. I hope it works out for you and all other "self-employed" people out there. As I understand it, the government of Sweden and in USA have declared huge help to employed people in large companies in various sectors. But nothing is mentioned about the small business or the self-employed. Why? I don't get it!! By "self-employed", do you mean small business owners as well, or only the once not having their own company, like some freelancers or consultants - where a self employment company take care of their wages, taxes, administration etc? Why is a self-employed person, in contract with a self employment company treated different than a small business owner, for instance at banks? I don't get it! I have plans to be "self employed" myself in May, so ... Why should some people be treated different in the labour market? Musik in the uk self employed could be anyone from a dogwalker £10 per hour to a TV star on millions per year, equally there are different ways to be paid so say a dogwalker on £10 per hour could take all their profits as salary and pay tax and NI or they could take it as dividends and pay corp tax and tax so they have to decide how to assess what is their income, also what period do you assess earnings over if its 1 year that could have been a good / bad year so they need to look at 2 or 3 years. There are 5m+ self employed to do these calculations, do basic checks, get bank details and generate payments will be a massive job, with the employed it was easier and quicker instead of dealing with 26m+ people they deal with thousands of companies who pay the staff then make a claim from the government. Ok, thanks for the thorough description. To me "self employed" in the UK sounds more of a small company owner, than what we mean in Sweden by "self employed". When you mention salary vs dividends, it's what company owners decide here - not any self employed person. A "self employed" person here do nothing more except offering his/her specific services. Everything else, paying taxes, book keeping, administration, handling reclamations etc, is done by a chosen Self-employment Company (there are a few to pick from), and the self employed individual writes a contract with them. The self employment person doesn't calculate anything! 😁 The Self-employment Company gets a small fraction of the self-employment person's earnings, like 5% of the bills. There are some disadvantages though: * not that much insight into the book-keeping at all * problems if you are offering physical products, it's more designed for the service sector. One part of the problem is there us a lower bill limit, of normally 500 SEK (£42). And if you're selling books, cd:s or whatever, one by one, you can't choose Self-employment. The Self-employment Company must have a receipt you see for each and everyone of the transactions. Otherwise they won't bother paying you. The customers gets a bill in the name of the Self-employment Company, and you as a Self-employment to them, in turn gets paid from them. Too small sums aren't what they want to have.

Only slightly I bet The prototype looked liked something Wallace & Grommet had knocked up. Fair doo's to Nick Grey though for stepping forward. But if it worked and was easy to make what does it matter?

Obviously the warmer the water the better the soap will lather, but I'm not sure it has to be red hot.

I don’t know how to do links from U Tube but there is a great video on there; The Beatles. I’ve got to wash my hands. If somebody could link it I think it will be very popular.
Thanking you in anticipation. 😀

No mention there of the impact of an antibody test. If we can prove we have the antibodies we could get back to a more normal life, no? How this could be managed and policed I've no idea but the benefits for the economy could be vast.

Sensible basic personal hygiene. But with what?? I've tried to bought it here for a month, and last time I asked the cashier in the food store and he said: "We are not allowed to sell hand disinfectant here no more, all goes to the hospitals". To overcome the lack of this important item, Absolut Vodka, (yes, the booze manufacturer), has decided to start producing a version to food stores. I don't know if there are any side effects ... Musik I shall repeat a post from just above from Big John, m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10220694440407764&id=1138835890 It really is as simple as soap, people buying all sorts of potions to clean there hands surfaces etc etc are wasting there hoarding cash! The link explains it to a T... Soap breaks down the layer of fat surrounding the virus..all folk on here really should read the link and spread the word! Edit just read the posts above.... Please delete if required SOAP SOAP and more SOAP👏😊

Don't forget to put the clocks forward tonight. It is these little bits of "normality" that help to keep us sane, though I suspect that the supermarket queues at 10 a.m. tomorrow might be a bit longer than usual due to those who forgot. Keep safe every one.
