Worth remembering that fishing sector contributes

• One eighth of one percent towards the UK economy 
• One tenth of one percent of UK jobs

Why it should be so constantly high up the agenda is beyond me.

They might as well be arguing about jousting.

That's 1 in a 1000 people though, which is actually a lot higher than I thought it would be.

We wouldn’t want to sell them down the river.

Not sure how much harder they could have been hit.

OK, apart from Spain, France, Italy and Greece... what has COVID done for the mediterranean? :D

Yeah and having more access to waters isn't going to magically create lots of new jobs if there's no one to sell the fish to, especially at the tariff price.

The argument is ideological, not practical.

5. No parties? No problem!

The German government recently released an online ad in which it urged people to stay at home and embrace the couch potato concept. That obviously doesn't come easily to many people. However Finland, yet again, appears to be bucking the trend.

An EU Parliament survey found that 23% of Finns said their lives had improved noticeably as a result of the lockdown earlier this year. "We're not very sociable and prefer to be alone," Nelli Hankonen, a social psychologist at Helsinki University, told the AFP news agency.

Another factor that may play a role is the personal comfort zone — how close you want to get to another person. "It may well be that the Finnish comfort zone is slightly bigger than in other European countries," said the THL's Salminen. "We like to keep 3 feet distance between us and the next person. Otherwise we feel uncomfortable."

yep absoluttely ... I asked earlier but will ask again .... does anyone know anyone getting one ? based on the 1million per week figure that was talked about I would hope by the end of the week that first dose should be in 800,000 people ?

I don’t know anyone getting it tomorrow, but my grandad is down for one next week. My grandma is 79 though so she has to wait, which is a shame! Be nice to get them both ticked off right away.

Sorry for deluge of questions, just fascinated by the process.

People who get vaccinated early on still have to be careful, wear masks and keep distance etc,  as don't know if they can pass onto others...right?

According to some theories earlier you'd think all the 80+ year olds will probably be posting on their socials using their smart phones about it later

Yeah that’s it. They still don’t really know if the virus can be spread so they are asking people to be careful. Which makes sense.

yes absolutely .... the same rules apply ... but what it does do is remove some of the worry for these people which is very important too .... I will be so much happier and more relaxed once I get mine
