These people are supposed to be cleaver FFS.
The Quadram Institute in Norwich, UK, writing in New Scientist in March suggested that an approach similar to that used for naming storms might be useful for generating neutral and more memorable names for coronavirus. These people are supposed to be cleaver FFS. So the first one could be Jacki Chan, the Kent one William Shakespeare, the Indian one Mahatma gahandi the South African one Nelson Mandela and the New one in veitnam Pol Pot.[/font]
Isn't Edmund Hillary a Kiwi though?.
Quote Isn't Edmund Hillary a Kiwi though?.'' Wasn't '' - past tense. Are we only choosing dead people so they aren't offended?
They were interviewing a bloke on the radio this morning who owns a villa in Portugal. He said he was 'totally shocked' that the country had gone from green to amber. Yeah right, is anyone genuinely 'totally shocked' at anything to do with international travel any more?.Another couple had retired to Spain and were 'so upset' that they're grandchildren couldn't get over to visit them. They were happy enough to leave all their family thousands of miles behind in the first place pre-pandemic though weren't they

Quote I have zero sympathy for people who have gone ahead and booked foreign holidays who are now moaning. Except what is the point in having a 'traffic light' system? What is the point the government having a green list of safe countries, and then withdrawing the most popular one with 4 days notice? They have again led people into false expectations.
