Although I think these lockdowns may cost us more in the end than we bargained for...when the government pleads for social distancing to give them a chance of success...I go along with it!
Not so today, in Ludlow...the car wash by the corve bridge, deserted ...except for eight or ten of the east european washers, sat close together at a table, smoking, chatting and enjoying the sunshine!
Idiots come in all nationalities....and these aint washing my car, ever.....

Has it occurred to you that these unfortunate people don’t speak English and more than likely haven’t understood that we as a nation are practising social distancing? They all live in cramped homes together in poverty. I feel very sorry for them.
Phone your local police station and ask if a Romanian interpreter could speak to them.

No, I won't....but some other do gooder such as yourself may do so.
What they were doing was wrong...plain and simple....ignorance is no excuse...and if you feel so sorry, what will you do about them...cash, maybe...food maybe...
...or maybe just words.....
Stay safe, yourself....won't you?

How do you know that they are Romanian? Rather stereotypical branding every eastern European as Romanian when they could be Polish, Czech, Bulgarian, Hungarian et al.

I thought you disagreed with it all anyway, closing places and distancing, and it was just governments panicking unnecessarily. At least they were following your opinion.

..you keep getting it wrong, jimbo, but at least you are consistent!
I do, however think this is all over the top...but I cannot prove it, so I go with the Governments plan...maybe they are right...but if you flout the rules how can they be seen to succeed ot not....?
...Simple logic, really... but too much for some to grasp.....

It's common knowlege that all car washers in the UK are from Romania and all plumbers are from Poland.
Not sure what the Czech, Bulgarian and Hungarians do.

..in the same way, all teachers are Welsh, and all trade union leaders are either Scots or Irish...
..These are well known facts...Oh...and the Germans are so efficient, and the French such good cooks....
