Hang on mate, I have not insulted anyone.
You are quick to lash out.
You are the one who was spouting holier than thou bullshit, protect our families and it turns out it was all self serving bullshit. Have a bit of self dignity. Owl is a good name because you have spun your head 180 degrees.

I'm legally obliged you clown it's not through choice, if I had a choice I wouldn't be going back and putting my family at risk it's contractual, I have signed contacts and I'm in breach of that contract because the site that I'm working on are back open.

Yeah, apparently people are trying it on in a big way. I think it was/is a good way to help out some businesses without feeding the shady/dodgy ones.

The contact issue is a big one and it'll get worse. The problem being the official line is you can go to work if you can't work from home. So any 'act of god' clauses are voided because you're legally allowed to work. That means if you don't go in you chose not to, which means you've breached the fulfilment terms in the contract.

This 'sort of' lock down has caused loads of problems across the board. It always happens when politicians and civil servants stick their nose into the real world. Not one of them has a clue or gives a sh1t.
 
I don’t get what people need the money for, food and bills. Anyone doing plastering not taking home 800-1000 a week is in the wrong game or a gambling addict/ Coke addict , how can you not have money tucked away.
Take the morgagate holiday to ease the cash flow situation at the moment and if ya morgagate goes up £10 a month buy you got money to survive and pay off ya other bills that’s what it’s there for.

And the argument of my mortgage will go up because of compounded interest and I'll end up paying loads more is b*ll***s. Get your lump sum in June and overpay your mortgage by a grand or 2. Problem solved

My opinion is that it should have been a full lock down no ifs/buts or maybe.

The problem is how it stands if lads have a main source of income from a contact be It developers, builders etc etc that if there wanting to work then you will be forced an ultimatum.

but you who cares when people are dying ??

firm I’ve done 90% of my last 2 years of work for and was 80% through a school for have got someone else there finishing it and as we said no ,might never give me work every again.

do I care ?? Not when 800 people a day are dying , more important stuff then pushing muck up the walls.

People been wasting money on flash cars, watches and designer clothes, drugs and gambling for years need a reality check.

health is the real and only important currency

Point I'm making is if everyone in same boat then no snakes out taking away well learnt contacts & contracts.

Or even on smaller scales no mrs Jones cancelling work with 1 spread to use another.

I'm not saying they aren't, I agree. My point is only that not everyone working is doing so out of greed/stupidity, some are genuinely between a rock and a hard place where it's a choice of work or go under. There's no certain way of knowing who's in what position, and on a forum that's even more so. Which to me means it's unfair to judge people and call them out.

Ultimately it makes no difference as neither your opinion or mine is going to change anyone's mind. If you get wound up every time you encounter a c**t you'll get an ulcer long before your anger makes any difference. Focus on with the important stuff, leave the stuff you can't change.

In the immortal words of Elsa .....

Im surprised,thought more would be for working,since its ok by england government.
As far as im aware all house building sites in scotland were forced to close.
So contracts were not in play.

I see on the news that B&Q are opening more stores now, and Taylor Wimpey are opening back up on 4th May. Once companies like that are back at it that'll be lockdown over.
