1. Some firms shut because they were ordered to (pubs, cinema, non-essential shops etc- staff furloughed
2. some shut because they had no work as a result (commercial cleaners that speacialised in cinemas etc) - staff furloughed
3. Some shut as they were not safe initially to continue (Bentley cars etc) then gradually reopened as they made working space safe etc - staff furloughed initially
4. Some shut because they misinterpreted what was said - poor management - staff furloughed
5. Some shut because they were on the ropes already and used it as an excuse - poor management - staff furloughed

At no point did the government say do not do to work unless it is essential In fact the welsh wording is …..

With the exception of the organisations covered in the guidance on businesses closures the government has not required any other businesses to close – indeed it is important for business to carry on. However, new requirements came into force on 7 April which means that all businesses and persons responsible for work which is being carried out on premises to take all reasonable measures to ensure that 2 metres distance is kept between all people on those premises (except members of the same household e.g. where a tradesperson is carrying out repairs in someone’s home). This includes work being carried out both indoors and outdoors.

This can be seen here https://gov.wales/staying-home-and-away-others-guidance#section-39182
A lot of people tool this to mean essential work only to be carried out when in fact it wasn't.

Now the government is trying to get people to go back that fall into category 3, 4 & 5 above by trying to make it clearer. Any that can, should, if it is safe to do so. As such, it is only people that CANNOT do their job safely or falls into 1 & 2 above that should be staying at home 100% of the time claiming the furlough.

It matters not, what of your interpreted categories you think he falls in, they yours not the emergency measures. The list the Welch government closed is the same as in England at the time and is extensive https://gov.wales/coronavirus-covid-19-closure-businesses-and-premises there would alosbe other business that couldn't operate as something they or supplied went to a business that was shut, so by definition they can't continue trading. Or perhaps their all lazy sods too?

The chap works in whatever business in England that was shut for whatever reason, he now needs to go back to work in England due to the changes in England, it couldn't by definition be essential or directly/indirectly working for or supplying an essential business or he wouldn't have been off.

This issue here is and is all part of the utter confusion Boris and the English government has now crated is Wales is still under one set of rules and England under another, hence the post. Confusion end of.

And are you still saying my Mrs and everybody else that's furloughed is lazy sod, as you've conveniently dodged that question?

Gnasher - I provided a link to the welsh assembly wording. The UK wording is very similar. Only certain businesses were forced to close. Others chose to close for a variety of reasons. As for the "lazy sods" comment, read it again. I actually said " the lazy sods who could work SAFELY but chose to sit at home". The key word there is "chose". i.e wont go back to work even though they could.

Your selection of words and the context in how it is meant is open to interpretation, well sort of. The phase "but chose to sit at home" and your on the word 'chose' is implying it was a choice made by someone who's been furloughed. They had no input in that decision what so ever i.e. no choice. They were furloughed by either their employer or forced to close as self employed by direct closure of their workplace or business by the government, they no choice. Neither do they have any choice of staying on furlough, if their work place reopens they go back to work, if after July they don't the employer will have to support the furlough cost, these as yet haven't been announced. If an employer is working a flanker they'll have to start paying for it, the employee has no input or choice what so ever.

Your play with words is utter bollocks and you know it.

I repeat my question are you still saying my Mrs and all those furloughed are and for your benefit choosing to be lazy sods?

I can assure every one that my intentions were to just remind people they could go out on their bikes today without fear of being pulled by the police just for being on a bike. Not to wind our fellow the Scottish & Welsh riders up, unlike some, I have more constructive things to do. No mine has stayed in the garage today but it won't tomorrow. Had to take my dog over the fields he exercises in but hasn't been able to go there as I've been sticking to the lock down and not driving my cage.

Gnasher, you obviously have an issue with something. From what you say, your wife is not one of the lazy sods as she doesnt have a choice. Satisfied?

Get out there and enjoy. :thumbup

I'm looking forward to the day I can do likewise. Though I do get to ride to and from work every other week.

Re: From wednesday we can use our bikes again. - darrsi - 13-05-20

I want to go to work.....but it's closed. :'(

Wait until the weekend when a massive amount of wankers will probably be the cause of a second wave and reignite the whole thing again.

If the people gather in mass at beauty spots, beaches, etc and don't keep to social distancing we will be back to lockdown. As a group we who ride bikes can do our bit, go out and enjoy your rides but use your common sense don't gather in large groups and when you do stop observe social distancing let us not be the ones blamed for another lock down. We are a small group of the public so easy for the masses to blame.

I don't usually go and ride to a biker spot and get off, I just go out for a ride and come back. There used to be a big bike meet near me once a week mid week that was interesting to go to but never understood how people would just ride directly to it and get off and wander around, for me it would be a quick stop off on my way home of an evening out.

BBROWN1664

My issue as you put it, is people who make ridiculous bigoted and slanderous comments about others, based on small minded attitudes and biased opinions.

Judging from your last statement

Quote:

I put it to you, it's you who's got an issue, perhaps you're a failed businessman or just don't like the fact others have skills or abilities you don't have and they can make money out of them. Or is it you're just too lazy or unskilled to try? You're persistence in still making bigoted and slanderous comments about the small businesses now, is noted and I'm/we're assuming you have some kind of evidence or proof in these accusations, or did you just make them up based on small minded and clearly biased attitude you have towards people running small businesses?

The real and pressing question has now to be are you really fit to be an Administrator with such bigoted views? I'd argue you're not.
