Statement about Coronavirus/Covid-19

[O Dinas Powys]

GW shuts down and Pendraken is still slaving away....easy to see where the Dunkirk spirit went to.

Well, that's a bit of an unfair comparison and Dunkirk spirit is exactly what's going to prolong this disaster!

GW and Warlord closing down is corporate responsibility; Pendraken staying open with reasonable measures put in place, likewise

Huzzah, for Leon.

Just been to post office to drop some orders off, they now got new signs up saying hours will be restricted to 10am-3pm from Monday and "essential business only". Apparently ebay sales and MeG sets are essential business, so that's fine.

In conversation with a friend last night I realised that in the space of a few weeks I have moved from being an idle, mildly agoraphobic, slob to being a responsible citizen

1. How the staff commute to work.

2. If workspace conforms to PH England guidelines.

Yep, as Adele said this morning all of the staff come to work in their own cars, and we've completely segregated the workplace so that there's no contact.  The casting stations are about 3m apart, the packaging team are 6m away from everyone else, I'm in my office, etc.

She frightens me.*

Well she terrifies  me !! 

She terrifies me too.

And me!

Huzzah, for Leon. 

Yay, huzzah for me!  Wait.. what did I do?  Was it good?!

So....As I'm the best part of 300 miles away from you..(Simply as the crow flies.).....Is that an acceptable distance ?......I need to be told....Do I need to put on a face mask when I phone Pendraken Towers ? .

Yes, Leon, you 'done good'.....and still are 'doing good'.

Cheers - Phil (Please tell Adele I think she's great...So I don't feel so intimidated the next  time I speak to her.)

Put the phone on speaker at the other end of the room and shout.

It's the only way to be sure....

Damn good thinking, Peter !

I hadn't considered that. 

Just had a call from one of the neighbours....'over the road'.... (800 yards/700(?) meters away.)
"Are you and Von OK ?"....Yep, absolutely fine, Sue....."Do you need anything picking up....or any shopping needing doing?"

That was sooooo sweet.....and Sue and her partner aren't really that much younger than me and Von.

But that was a lovely thought.

So they saw the Parthenon being built, but not the Pyramids? 

The situation is bringing out the best and worst in people, and for all the media attention on the negatives, I reckon there's a lot more good folk looking out for each other than bad.

Still plenty of idiots about though. There's always a load of them.

You'll get such a slap soon.

I liked the story (on the Beeb's site yesterday (?)....So it must be true.  )....Of the police trying to beak up a 'barbi', cos there were more folk gathered than 'was right'....
The folk refused....So the boys in blue tipped up the barbi, to put it out... ..In Coventry, apparently.

Only allowed to have groups of 2 people.....20 is kind of like 2...its got a 2...and 0 and 2 + 0 is 2 (I can do sums!!) so I fink it must be okay right? BBQ Time! Let's get the entire neighbourhood into a confined area, what's the worst that could happen?

A cough? No not me, it's just the smoke from the BBQ...

There is another factor to the Keep Pendraken Open argument.  The role of your products in keeping up the morale and good mental health of a vulnerable demographic (your regular mail order customers and potential customers).  I am a pensioner with UHI asthma. (Underlying health issues).  I would not be priority in triage for a ventilator.  I will die a slow and lonely death if I connect with the virus.

That little package from Pendraken will keep me sane in isolation . This forum will keep me in the loop. I am happy to provide you Leon with such written testimony.

How many of you feel the same way?    

Absolutely agree
