Well me and the kids did Joe Wicks 30min workout this morning at 9:00 and it was great. He’s doing it every weekday - on you tube.

Work from home unless absolutely necessary. If you’re not getting paid if you don’t then it’s necessary.

Lockdown has no provenance as a legal definition in British English. It’s likely origin in the UK is in connection with making machinery safe (19th century). As a term for restricting freedom it was first used in reference to containing prison disorder in the USA in the 1970s.

Boris (or rather his speech writers and advisers) have wisely opted to describe in simple terms what the restrictions entail rather than giving them a sensationalist title that is open to misinterpretation.

Yes but the tabloid headlines are already 'Lockdown'. Doubtless plucky/stupid Brits will ignore and police won't have the resources to enforce, just like the NHS don't have enough resources. How stupid we were to run these public services down and vote for tax cuts.

Hopefully they’ll make decisions that ensure you have a job to come back to. Hopefully your workforce assist with that.
