Hi guys
Did anyone see this this morning?
Watched it live and got to admit I was blubbing a bit . Started from wanting to raise £1000 for the NHS charities just over a week ago. His 99 ,100 the end of the month .
His goal was to walk a 100 lengths of his garden .
This guy is a double legend to me . Served his country in ww2 and now this . Total respect and a great story in these crap times
Enjoy

I think it is amazing and hopefully will fully show the NHS staff and secondly politicians how much we appreciate the NHS.

Now £ 21 million. Fantastic in these awful times.
Funny how you can be at home and it just feels like a lot of Sundays then talk to friends in the medical caring trade and its
Just terrible what they are going through.
So good on all those who have donated as well.

No fun for those of us that are forced to work either, public in and out all day, expected to get in their cars with minimal PPE (latex gloves) and when we ask what happens if we catch the virus?
You get to go on the sick, at £95 a week..with fingers crossed you survive

I am surprised you have people bringing cars in ! Good luck with that, hope you keep safe.
My local garage have stopped as they feel its impossible to keep staff safe.
One friend doing tree work has set up two teams, his family cut down / trim etc and then leave the arisings .
Then the clean up team come out three days later as both of them live in the same house. Avoids any contamination.
The client either goes along with it or the job is not done.
