He said it was down to hacking issues and people being able to track where they are... sounds like a conspiracy theory to me :D
Well, there's something on my phone thats gobbling the battery. The NHS app is the only app I run apart from Strava (which I've run for years with no issues). So I'm a bit sceptical about the efficiency of the NHS app in general.
Thanks for giving me some support BTW, I'm not a nasty person, I just speak my mind. I'm far from intelligent but if people speak what they think then others can educate them by correcting. Thanks greenmark for being open minded.
You're welcome. And it's clear to me you're not a nasty person. But also I think you're inaccurate describing yourself as far from intelligent. Most of your non-volatile posts are thought provoking and seem to be met with genuine interest.
Describing a seasoned politician as a retard was probably a bit of an own goal. IMHO. :-)
I don't like Trump or BJ but they both rose to the peak of politics. And thats wher Biden is now.

Thanks for the link to our last conversation! I couldn't remember off the top of my head what we had spoke about. I'm not sure but I think you may have a bad taste for me... in our last conversation you cried over something I never said (which I asked you to quote, but you never did) and now you're bitching over me using the word retard. Sorry about that but that's how I feel about him... perhaps my downfall though was spelling piece wrong while calling someone a retard :lol:
I'm sure nobody has any interest but the conversation is linked and people can make up their own minds.

The people who are pretty smart, unlike yourself knew i was baiting, hence they didn't reply... they had no Interest in a relentless back and forth.
I don't contribute as much to the forum as you do so maybe there's a nuance I'm not getting that maybe you can explain so I'll know not to make the same mistake in future.

You bait people... can I ask why?

Cheers. He is 19 and feeling rough, just single jabbed. My daughter is asthmatic and lives with him and his mum. Only 16 and not jabbed so worried about her.
She has passed a flow test but we can't\won't risk it so the whole trip is off :(

Always wanted to get a Motorhome at some point and do some travelling but i've been half tempted to go towards a narrow boat in recent years so will have to wait and see, but hope it brings you many years of pleasure once you get past this hiccup, and hope he get's over it quickly, probs the best idea to postpone though until everyone is clear and where there's more space and less shared air etc at home

Agreed on the space. It's just not worth any risk - and guidance is they all isolate for 10 days so keeping to the rules to prevent spreading.

We always wanted a motorhome but like the narrow West Country roads so seeing as a VW Tx was too small we split the difference and have a mid sized Sprinter type van. Lovely conversion though and will go most places. Drive away awning on the side and it's huge.

That does look good, tbh I'd also settle for a converted XLWB Sprinter, Jumbo transit or XLWB Iveco Daily, I've looked at plenty over the years like you its the smaller what I call traditional 'campers' like the VW I couldn't make do with.

Think some do look really good and they are great for a night away or if your a surfer etc and just need a base but for longer trips I'd need that extra space especially if I have to take the wife to :)

One thing I never understand is why people still bother with caravans :roll:

You can put your mother in law and couple of her grandchildren at a seaside site at the beginning of the school holiday and drive away.
