You have a Home Mooring - the 14-day rule doesn't apply for you.

This must be a symptom of multiple boat ownership I wish they could furlough my payments to navigation authorities. End of December bye bye another twelve grand ! It might be thirteen this year actually.

I had drafted out a long post but then decided the blinkered will never see What I think is...Staff in the NHS are having leave cancelled We do not have enough staff to run Nightingale Hospitals The NHS is already struggling with the admissions.... If Lockdown will help our overburdened Health system I see no other way. It isn’t only NHS staff having leave cancelled. Il also add that two out the three NHS staff I know well are off work, for none covid19 reasons. Worlds gone mad.

"In a lecture last week, the former Supreme Court judge, Lord Sumption, revealed in sad detail what has happened to our country in the name of Covid. He says that Parliament has been elbowed aside by Ministers who rule by decree, and that this ‘has been the most significant interference with personal freedom in the history of our country. We have never sought to do such a thing before, even in wartime and even when faced with health crises far more serious than this one’. New laws, backed by tyrannical, ruinous fines, are now made at televised press conferences and enforced by police forces operating far beyond their authority. He accuses the Government of showing ‘a cavalier disregard for the limits of their legal powers’. This, he says, is how freedom dies. And behind it lies an astonishing, previously unnoticed seizure of economic power, which has made the entire Covid panic possible. By long tradition, Parliament has had ultimate control over the Government’s purse strings. It must permit major spending specifically. Without this power it is just a mascot or a toy. That power has been abolished. Back in March, unnoticed by almost everyone, Parliament vastly increased the Government’s freedom to spend what it liked. The old limit, for emergency spending, was increased from a mere £11billion to almost £270billion a year. The oddest thing about the Panicdemic is that nobody would know it existed if the Government and its mouthpiece the BBC did not constantly seek to terrify us into a state of servile fear. How long will it be before the realisation sinks in that we have been stampeded, quite needlessly, into poverty and darkness?" www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-8901637/PETER-HITCHENS-dictators-taken-didnt-notice.html

Anyway, as per thread title our boat is all locked up with nowhere to go. We fortunately decided to winterise it on Friday morning (windows closed, vents taped up, dehumidifier on, above-cut water system drained) and retreated to the sanctuary of Scotland. Where apparently we are not allowed to visit plague-ridden Englandshire for the time being.

Yes but it's pretty obvious this is only temporary. I wonder what happened to the economy after world war two. There's no need to wonder, it is very well documented. There was 20 years of austerity and food and fuel rationing. Being close to 3/4 of a century old and blessed with quite good recall the 20 years of austerity is something which is overstated. Yes there were some hardships but nothing that wasn't manageable. Food rationing ended in 54 when sweets came off. Fuel was not an issue and in fact we had quite a good life. Living in London we had all the perks of the country with many families still growing their own veg and keeping chickens. My dad was in work and my mum helped out by being an outworker making kiddies clothes and despite all we managed and had a good life which continued to get better as time went by. Phil

CRT Tweet; Our response to coronavirus
In these unprecedented times we are supporting the national effort to keep everyone safe, while making sure people still have the opportunity to gain the mental and physical benefits of being by the water.
As the Government has announced that, in England, from Thursday 5 November, non-essential travel should be avoided, and overnight stays limited to work purposes only, we are advising boat licence holders to restrict your movement and not to stay overnight on your boat unless it is your primary residence from Thursday.
Boat licence terms & conditions regarding movement every 14 days will be suspended for the 4 week period from Thursday until 2 December when these restrictions are due to come to an end.
We're currently updating our FAQs about coronavirus, which we will publish on Monday 2 November.
