Looks Like Another National Lockdown Is Coming

[Crewella]

I haven’t heard anything from work yet, the big bosses are probably still in crisis talks I think a few staff will be needed for (small) deliveries and click and collects, I expect I’ll be re-furloughed

Yep - I'm going in tomorrow for the 'crisis talks' and planning.

can auctions not work remotely on a zoom meeting? do they need to be face to face?

We can run an auction online, but the problem is that people really need to view the stuff (and often touch it), and there's an issue with collecting (and bringing stuff in) too.

The top auction houses can sometimes manage with detailed descriptions and images of their lots, but we sometimes have two shelf-loads from a clearance, worth about £50! That's not cost-effective.

Nigel Farage is to relaunch the Brexit Party and rename it the Reform UK which is an Anti-Lockdown Platform.

Am relieved that gardens are still allowed to open. Had already pre booked to go to Wisley Gardens on saturday. Cafes are shut but they have a few mobile ones on site that will be open.
