I am still travelling to central London. Trains quiet & I am not sitting next to anyone. Plenty of room in the office too. Will do so until the trains stop.

Do you have the ability to WFH or is it impossible?

The idea is driver each end and bolt the guard in the middle and we can go around all day. :8

There is always the elbow bump.

Actually I do clean the controls now.

Yep, case of having to. I can't work from home as I need to have access to airline booking systems (Amadeus and Galileo) - which I am not set up to handle remotely. With many customers (mostly retired) in New Zealand and Australia at this time of year, I am working to get them home before the end of March.

My company has now set up all office based staff to work from home. I don't like it, as I find I perform better with the office routine. But needs must.

Still in the office: one of 5 out of about 200, rest of them at home. As a developer do need the multi-screen experience, and work acquiesced and allowed it..

My office is my shed out my back door so have been working at home for years.

My taxi work is a complete waste of time at the moment, so that's on hold. Might not go back because I'm totally scunnered by it anyway and this was going to be my last year.

The upside of that is that I have more time to Board and I'm convinced other Boarders value that.

Iā€™m glad I retired last year. I would not want to be running a small business now. But lost 32% of my pension fund in the last 3 weeks

I moved my pension to a hedge fund as I saw this coming. I'm up about 31.98%. That's capitalism baby.

Restraunts to close , although takeaways will be available . Pizza delivey riders ARE ESSENTIAL workers.

Well done muhamed & akhmed.
