It's probably been covered but in case anyone's interested, the last day for consultation on licences is today. By 5pm in fact:

Someone just told me they've moved production over to hand sanitizer.

That's not true is it? He's just scaremongering isn't he.

Green King or someone could do that couldn't they?

Cynical or the right thing to do? Who cares if it works. Good for them [?]

I just hope they don't all do the switch and stop making beer!

Prince Harry and co
at 11:47 25 Feb 2020

Or 'ex' Prince. A spot of globetrotting to earn a living, but at a potential [up to] £20 million cost to the taxpayer for security. That doesn't sound right. It'd be cheaper to just give them an allowance of a couple of million to stay at home. So much for this independence lark then:

https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/royal-family/meghan-markle-and-harrys-%c2%a320mil

"One added: “The average salary of a protection officer is in excess of £106,000 and, on current standing, Harry and Meghan need at least 12 if not more split over several teams."

"...particularly when they plan to travel for personal or commercial reasons."

This virus

China's response is not much short of remarkable really.

I mean, they don't mess about. Entire cities under quarantine.

A hospital being built from scratch with work having just begun today with an aim for completion by Monday.

It's a serious subject, but you have to acknowledge* their drive to get things done.

*Edited for clarity and to stop those hard of thinking from taking cheap shots.

It can't just be me - it's become almost unusable.

Earlier it was down for me and I did check on on of those websites, "Is [so & so} site down?" and it said a resounding yes.
