So I am looking at the NHS "When to self isolate" guidance page - www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/when-to-self-isolate-and-what-to-do/It says two things that I find somewhat contradictory, or perhaps confusing:- 1. Self-isolate immediately if you live with someone who has symptoms or tested positive. 2. If you think you've been in contact with someone who has coronavirus, but you do not have symptoms and have not been told to self-isolate, continue to follow social distancing advice. Is it just me? I think so. If you don't actually live with the person who's been tested positive, and you're asymptomatic, you're OK to still go to the pub.

I think that is reasonable isn't it? If you've been sharing a living space with someone who is at high risk of being infected then work on assumption that you are also infected (just think of all that mutual surface contact, relatively close proximity, continually sharing the same "air space". On the other hand if you are in category of 'just in contact with' - assuming you've not been getting real up close and intimate, or spent lot of time with them - the chances of you being infected are consideraly less than the first case.

Andy Burnham has demonstrated courage and principle, hope and determination and a spirit that the British people can be proud of. Or alternatively he is a jumped up chancer full of his own self importance, who is prepared to risk lives in Manchester to further his own career. He demands evidence before agreeing to tier 3, but offer no evidence when calling for low risk areas to be included in a national lockdown. Interesting contrast to the Labour mayor of Sheffield who described moving into tier 3 as " the responsible route to ensure we save lives and livelihoods".
Ultimately, I guess the blame rests with the PM who thought that devolution of power was a good idea, so now everyone want's to negotiate their own deal (or like Liverpool, after you have negotiated your own deal you then complain bitterly that somebody else has got a better deal)
yes the contrast with South Yorkshire is glaring:

adrianc, bracknellboy, thanks, I think you're right. In hindsight I should have self-isolated from the point my lodger developed symptoms. The complicating issue being that she develops a symptom or two of something or other every couple of days. Oh well, it's in the past now. At least I self-isolated from the point at which I put her test in the post.

Half-term is almost upon us, which begs the question of where to go for that well earned autumn break?
- abroad seems like too much of a risk given last minute quarantine requirements - Wales, Scotland, NI, the North and London are out
That leaves the South West, South East and East. What could go wrong?

An idea for training days (working lunch / dinners / accommodation included), how about Pendennis Castle?

What could go wrong? Barnard Castle ? Comes with the bonus that you can even get your eyes tested there, allegedly.

(And don't even think about coming out here to the west. We don't want your urban lurgy. Git orf moi laaaaaand.)

What could go wrong? I think if you were looking at Europe then having a 7 day break flying on Fridays is low risk in terms of new quarrantine regs. If you fancy something further afield Barbdos is low risk of quarantne on the way home, but you have to get tested twice at the front end (and its's bloody expensive).

Twas from a Tory MP relayed via the Torygraph Are you certain you don't mean former Tory MP?
Ultimately I don't care if Boris said it, it's still b****cks.

I was initially pleased, until it got to the bit that said the students were suspended not expelled.
Are you following the rules?
73% said they were following the rules completely - or nearly all of the time
22% said they were following the rules most of the time - or about half the time
4% said they were not following the rules at all - or less than half the time
