What's worrying is the ground is hard deep too.I operate machine for a living ,footings ,drives etc etc...like concrete ..topsoil,subsoil down to at.least 1500mm..has been for a while ,I don't know what water company you come under but they say take it easy etc etc conserve ,but I bet unless we get a proper drenching ,I shouldn't say this because I hate light drizzle or long period of light rain but its going to take that to moisten the ground no bang and flood the place ,gentle rain ,and I can't see that happening can you ?? Restrictions
Surbiton will be Thames Water, actually Surbiton used to have a water treatment works, but good old TW sold it off for housing in the early 90s because it was supplying extra water they didn't need. As for restrictions, if they do happen this summer then I have no sympathy for the companies what so ever, but maybe it will lead to a proper probe into their activities over the past decade or so.

Forgetting about these idiots in Glasgow, does anyone know of a tree planting scheme my business could join?
I would be good to actually support something that was actually doing something positive, and if I could add something like a number of trees planted to my website, that would be both quite cool and satisfying. - Yes it is a serious question.

Cop 26 will add more Co2 to the air then it reduces it by.
400 flights into Glasgow bring with them a wealth of world leaders and of course a multitude of celebrities creating 1300 tons of Co2.
China not attending, the worlds biggest producer of Co2, double that of its nearest rival the US.
A total and utter farce only worth attending for lavish meals and exclusive goodie bags.
My worry is our world in in the hands of these self serving idiots!

I could not find this subject anywhere else on here so I hope a new topic is the correct thing to do?
I cannot believe that with the global climate being high on the agenda at the moment for most of the worlds governments that many central banks are considering or are at least exploring the possibility of adopting crypto currencies given the huge energy resources they consume.
I thought I would start by linking this story from the FT for anyone who would like a closer look:
Bitcoin’s growing energy problem: ‘It’s a dirty currency’ | Financial Times
WWW.FT.COMElon Musk has highlighted the cryptocurrency’s environmental impact and governments are starting to take notice-

Your gonna get smashed where you are, your probably about 20-30 miles SE of the current expected hotspot. The north downs in your area will probably have some pretty large numbers by Tuesday.
Thanks for your reply, I don't know if its good or bad, but I will keep a shovel handy, and they say these yeti's are good in the snow but that's not going to any good if I can't find it on Monday

Can I ask some of the more experienced model gurus what they think I am going to get in snow for the North Downs here in NW Kent?
Will my little 4wd Yeti get me out come Monday ?

I am 108 mtrs halfway up the North Downs, It maybe borderline for me, often it will snow just a few feet away on the top of the downs so I can at least see it from my mud
-
We have the lightest of all snow showers. about 6 flakes but it still counts
Nothing on the radar at all ?

Yep but i live on edge of Salisbury plane but to me that is a usual sight
That's true, if they are heading up Ealing high street, that is a bit different from just around the corner from a army base. I mean I see a Spitfire every day but that doesn't mean to say we are at war with Germany.

My mate has just lost 20k off his pension value as it is FTSE linked.
I found it very hard to get the information I needed on how to protect my pension from the volatility of the daily and mostly downward direction of the markets, but anyone with pension portfolio's or government funds can move the money within it to protect it. I think the equity markets are going to drop lower still, cash is king at the moment and moving into cash based funds for the time being may save a lot of money, and buy back into equities when they are a bit more stable.

I know nothing about Virus's but I can do maths and stats, it is clear that events are leading the way and not the government, weather its people self isolating or events simply being postponed, the people do seem to be ahead of the game.
We are not anyway close to being 3-4 weeks behind Italy, maybe a week - 10days with the pace of infection as it appears to be. The plan of a few days ago to start the delay phase appears to me to be way to late, this thing is coming through like an express train, and we are going to get a very high spike, albeit in a shorter space of time then was being projected just a day or 2 ago.
The stats do say to me we are 2 weeks to late in introducing the delay and social distancing phase, the horse has already bolted IMO.

Why rule it out? If you had it your immune until a new strain comes along.
It not so much ruling it out or even looking at as one person, if millions of us have already had it, that makes a significant difference to how many will now get it and reduce the peak cases the NHS believe they will get - Hence why I think it could be quite important for everyone to know if some of us did get it early.
Yes it would be nice to know on a personal level as well, but not the main objective.

Science nerds would need to develop a serology test to look for antibodies.
i would love to take one as I would love to know. The thing I had at Christmas matched every single coronavirus checkbox.
I am not up with the science, but is it easy or difficult to do the serology test?
No idea if I am asking basic medicine or Star Trek stuff?
