Has anyone else had the scene from the Titanic where the ship has sank and Jack and Rose are both clinging to a piece of wood? Jack is shivering 'cos he's in the water, but he's desperately urging Rose not to give up and to hang on in there 'cos the boats will come back for them ...

This is exactly what it's like being self employed at the moment! We're still waiting and waiting for something sensible to be announced. I've got hope and faith at the moment that everything will be okay but I can feel my cynical nature slowly eroding that belief

This is not correct! An amendment was proposed to this effect but was voted down. The government is going to announce something by Friday

I was told on my universal credit interview that a member of the self employed team is calling me on Monday to put through a completely separate claim to assess my self employed income. They said the interview takes about an hour on the phone. So Im sure the job centres are doing this with everyone once the government have decided this week how much of that income we will get.
I was also told it will be assessed on your most recent tax return.

I am simply relaying what I’ve been told. I’m sure the self employed team at a job centre wouldn’t be able to lie about such things.

When I had my appt with the job centre yesterday and asked about the self employed they knew absolutely nothing about any plan and I don't have any other appointments now,just for the credit to start coming into my bank monthly at the end of April. She said they were as much in the dark as we are.

I'm no angel however there's nothing confusing about not being within 2m of anyone else, although the guidelines say travel to work only if essential (ie work cannot be done at home) it's the bits about not getting close to anyone who doesn't live in your household and the potentially being asked 'where are you going' that have stopped me.

Interesting thing is that due to queues, and unavailability, and staff training going probably re Covid, other people going out for walks for exercise I've been outside yesterday for longer than pre-restrictions and probably spoken to more people than usual. Yes I have kept my distance, however others aren't so good.

Today I have to go try again at a place I couldn't get to because the spread-out-queue was too long, and yes it is medical need.

That is hugely worrying I have an elderly father I must shop for I don't want him being alone .I've stopped escorting for the time being

I know it's technically illegal at the minute but is anyone actually still escorting?

For reasons too complicated to go into I don’t have a permanent base, which is hellish tricky atm obviously. Mainly I want to know if I can still claim Universal Credit, as I don’t have a permanent address.

Thanks

Had a look at the "A....site".
No mention of Corona situation (yet),
the site looking as if it's running, normally.

News comment on construction workers,
tube over-crowding. . .

It's not possible for everyone to comply, because people are just people.

Also different perceptions of reality and those who just don't access the news, as well as misunderstand the information.

People went to the pub when told they were closing $:-\$

some are still using' flu and road death comparisons.

Nothing is 'technically' (or untechnically) illegal until you can be arrested and charged for doing it, and since the police have not been given any extra powers yet then like everything else on the Do Not Do list, it remains legal. That does not mean it's a good idea, for lots of reasons already mentioned (journalists being one).

I don't think anybody knows what the 'A....site' is, Regieee - can you please say what you mean and not post in riddles?

People who need to get to work are yes, until more trains can be made available, employers stop.forcing people to come in and some provision is made made for the self.employed/freelance.

Now we're going to get back on topic. The twenty million or so online general discussion forums are that way ---->

I daresay at least a proportion will have been hoping to stand out a bit and score some private gallery hits. My profile had featuring on yesterday from booking it a month ago, and I have it again one day next week because I can't find any way to switch it off. I didn't add anything else and my number isn't up, but I still got an extra few picture sales
