When the lockdown ends

I know Boris does not like to hear this but the lockdown is being pushed by economics,  I live on the edge of Manchester and can see a marked increase in traffic as more people go back to work. More shops and small buisineses have opened and even the bigger food takeaway chains are talking of opening all of them following strict guidelines.  Many shops etc have been open all along. Even talk of football matches being played. 

The club should now be looking at the possibilities of how the sites can be run under strict guidelines.  There is not going to be a magic date when everything returns to normal as there will not be a normal as we used to know but a new normal of which all organisations such as CAMC should be prepared for.  If  any preparations are being made we should know about them and  be given a chance to comment and submit suggestion.  This is not what the club is used to but does what it wants and if it does not listen to its members it will see the membership numbers fall. 

JUST LOOK AT THE MEMBERS COMMENTS AND FOR ONE PUT A COMMENT THERE WILL BE MANY WHO WILL THINK WHY BOTHER AND JUST NOT RENEW MEMBERSHIP.

"He will have my Email when he gets home surprised,he lives not far from us"

in case you hadnt realised, it pretty much takes the same time for an email to travel to anywhere in the world...even, for example, from London to Durham....having 'not far from us' wont have made a lot of differenceundecided

I agree witn Rufs, the bloke has been a tw*t but folk survive for far worse than driving to their relatives...give him a good b*llocking and move on..

...and the '250 miles' is totally irrelevent....theyd have gone 500 or 5 if that was where their destination was...

“When the lockdown ends” - perhaps there will be less (or is it fewer?) of these endless posts spouting  opinionated self righteousness.

do hope you get your Christmas break away , Southport i think, born and bred in Blackburn so used to cycle to Southport for the day and scrump apples on the way home, happy days 

OH was born in Southport and hopefully we will get there this December for our usual 15 nights chill out. We are not anticipating getting away until September now. We have missed our first months break and our 7 weeks in Scotland we are expecting to write off. 

I had hired a 4 bed housh near Churchtown in Southport for a week from 3rd April to take away youngest daughter and the two grandkids but that obviously was out.

One person's opinionated self righteousness is another's meaningful discussion.

There’s no need to read them if they’re not to your liking, Goldie.

No comment, you, me , uncle tom cobbly do not know the full circumstances

Posted on 23/05/2020 18:46

perhaps some of Uncle Tom's relatives post on CT? everyone seems to know 'everything' about this situation...

im afraid youve backed the wrong pony on here, Rufs...

FWIW, I think theres little to be gained by baying for blood, the bloke is a berk for what he's done....but im not a great hung, drawn and quartered chap...a private knee in the nuts from Boris, after publicly backing him should remind him of his 'error'...

have a good one.smile

No...they may have had family of their own that they did not want to leave behind , and at that time i would have thought anywhere but London is where i would have wanted to be undecided we just dont know the true circumstances and people are making it up as they go along, yes he did not abide by the rules, yes it should be made plain to him that his is not acceptable, but chuck him under a bus, no way 

Posted on 23/05/2020 19:03

Maybe that why his "bosses" have announced add funding for buses  ,to ensure there is one ready for him ,and some of the cabinet in the not to distant futurewink

Hi BB, leaving aside the fact you are not greatly hung, I for one have made no comment about what I think should be the consequences of his actions just that, on the basis of what he has written, not someone else, his actions appear indefensible.

It does make me smile to see all the apparent justification, including his ‘not illegal’ comment, as often this will make things worse in the long run.

Its amazing what people can forgive, or at least forget, when someone says sorry.
