I wonder if we'll see a rise in the population of pheasants, badgers, deer, rabbits etc, now that no-one is out there mowing them down every day?

And will there be a corresponding decrease in the numbers of crows etc that seem to rely on this road-kill as their staple diet.

I was wondering along the same lines,my thoughts were around a lot less pigeons in built up areas,due to lack of junk food left on the streets and less bin waste in these areas

Nah, all the panic buying food has now been thrown in the bins so they are overflowing with all that stuff now.

I saw those pics what a waste of food and what a bunch of muppets for buying it all

must admit i did do a couple of beer runs before lock down and they will only end up in the bin when empty

Another side-effect will be my soon to have Corona style haircut by Mrs PVR.

She has been watching youtube and ordered the equipment in.

My self-isolation might last a little longer than for others to, uh, get back to a presentable state

My wife who normally works in A+E in the regional hospital observed that nobody is coming into A+E..it’s empty..it’s normally cluttered with all sorts of people with major issues like I cut my finger etc

They don’t fancy their chances I assume ...

That just proves they were going into A+E unnecessarily I would say - I hope they learn by this and don’t go back to their old ways whee when this is done .

And some more good news for you Ron..

So if you are an old critter in poor health you'll get bumped (if NHS runs out of capacity) for a younger pup who probably made you ill in the first place...

There’s a cheery thought!
I haven’t been out of the house since the 17th March (apart from one medical appointment)

I was talking to my niece on the 'phone last night and she had been to Tesco to return an item of clothing that didn't fit, but it seems they are doing any exchanges for 3 months, which is fair enough in the circumstances.

The lady behind her in the queue trying to return 2 packs of 9 toilet rolls "because she didn't need them" wasn't too happy - selfish b*tch.

Working from home is not fun when you have Skype for Business, Teams Apps whoever invented these needs something inserting where the sun don't shine
