Thank you for the warning and you certainly got a reaction.It would be interesting to know what you do for a living. I am sure most of the guys on here are awhere of the potential of this virus.Quite a few will be classed as self employed and probably will not be offered any help including £94 sick pay.The fact is that self isolating ( with zero income) might finish or bankrupt a lot of self employed people. I have looked on The Lancet site regarding Italy and the projections are worse than you have stated.I think we are 3 weeks behind them. Good luck.

Thanks for the edit I have to 'fess up' that there is an ulterior motive to my observation of this forum. I have been thinking of replacing my vehicle for something newer, but in part due to my low milage I am still driving around in a 2001 VW Golf 4 motion., but hey its damn reliable. Potentially if a lot of people needed to hand back their finance/lease cars and prices dropped I could be tempted. But due to being an orthodox tight arse the thought of reducing my bank balance by a sum five digits for a newer car fills me with absolute horror. Not that I would want to see people in the unfortunate position of having to hand back their cars. But If the situation ever presented itself and subsequently prices dropped enough I might be tempted.

“I am no expert, I’ve just read the news and I’ve signed up here to tell you all off, naughty boys” Errr, cheers. It must be some life you lead. To have all the time in the world to sign up to a random forum, state you actually have no expertise (none of us do) say all you have done is follow the news (as we all have) and have the courtesy to lecture us. Very kind of you. Out of sheer morbid curiosity, how may other Internet forums have you signed up for that you have nothing to do with, to tell all the people on that forum you’re an average person with no expertise but to listen to your rant anyhow? Just find yourself a bird and unload in her? You’ll feel much better.
