It’s another term for printing money (inflation) and closing the bond markets for borrowing money because I’ll be surprised if anyone finds a way of controlling inflation after using the printing of money as a cure. And every country will or will have to do it. If the oldies stay alive their savings will be worth a lot less so I guess that’s their financial price for the government keeping them alive. I hope it works but I’m sceptical unless it works with us all worldwppaying £25 for a cut loaf.

Once every 15 years apparently. Here is an article that discusses this:

Hope everyone doesn’t go around punching each other in the arm this time.

I have not seen this featured on 'Sky News' but I reside near the seafront (Not Brighton!) and visited the local beach.The tide was out this afternoon and there were people walking on the sand well away from the shore and groines, keeping their distance from one another.
The beach never gets that crowded,even in the summer months when the sun is beating down, and those on it today were spread well apart.

On the local roads, there were more people walking than normal perhaps due to the weather but people were taking the effort to adhere to the social-distancing instructions by moving well out of the way when necessary.Apropos traffic movements, I saw the odd car, a bus and a post van so all very quiet on the roads.

All very pleasant and civilised down my 'Neck of the woods'.No Police car in sight!

My daughter,husband and baby reside in Beckenham and frequent Beckenham Place Park for their daily exercise.
They are taking the 'Lockdown' very seriously indeed.

I can fully appreciate that it must be intolerable for those who are in a less fortunate position.
