I have done a few cruises but not my favourite holiday. Certainly would not think about doing a cruise whilst this virus is with still with us not worth the risk of being stuck for weeks in a cabin if there is an outbreak of the virus on board and social distancing I think would be very difficult.

No thanks - I usually go out on occasions with friends usually for a pub lunch and a good old chat, Don't think that this will be happening for quite a while. So I won't be anywhere near a pub at the weekend.

No thank you !!!!

Think its time that as Victoria$5 said get people back to work If they are willing to risk going to the beaches and crowding together, then its time to realise that this shut down is not one long holiday.

Already missed one holiday in early June to Spain but if things do improve later in the year or early 2021 it would be nice to be able to plan another holiday.

Definitely not will wait until the rush is over - I have manged for the last 12 weeks and a few more will not make a lot of difference,

I agree with Bald123 it was an evil trade but it is all part of our history

No definitely not. I do not want this or any other app on my mobile which I only use for calls and text messages.

Yes I would be pleased to visit a lovely garden, just as long as everyone abided by the distancing rules. The only thing would be the entry prices that will put people off as those most able to visit would be retired people, fur load people and the unemployed who probably would not have the finances to be able to go unfortunately.

No don't think so but some idiots who do not use there common sense have to spoil it for other people these .

Would be brilliant to top up my kindle with some more books.

Booked holidays with a well known over 50's holiday company. June holiday was cancelled due to pandemic was emailed with a credit note stating I could either use it to book another holiday or money would be refunded at the end of July. Rang and informed them I had previously booked an holiday with them in September and I was then refunded all my June holidays costs within 14 days. No complaints so far - waiting to see what is happening for September holidays.

I have been on the register for years - don't know if my organs would be suitable as a senior now but if any are they would be very welcome to use them - better in someone else body than in the crematorium,

Not much fun cooking for one. Can't wait to go out socially for a shared meal with friends

If someone can come up with an idea on how to socially distance children will be a genius.

Regular flyer - but never used Ryanair flights and definitely would not use them at this moment in time.

First one was very clear to all - but did all abide by it no. There are still the those who thought and still think the are immune to the virus and treating the lock down as one big holiday having gatherings and BBQ.

That would be very nice I would be able to top up my kindle with a few good books to read.

Buy one on the odd occasion when I buy more local weekly paper. Usually catch the daily news on the BBC

Its certainly something different would love to give one a try.

It would be brilliant prize to win, Have always found Pavers shoes and sandals comfy to wear

Booked and paid for a holiday early June, awaiting contact from the well known over 50's company to contact me. I am willing to transfer my bookings until next year - I have also booked to go away later in the year so sitting and hoping by then things will be almost back to normal.

The thought of trying to cut my hair makes me tremble at the knees. I have decided that I will have to have a pony tail or bunches when it gets too long. Don't think I could manage plaits - well it will give someone a laugh when they see me as they pass by at a distance.

The over 70's would probably love to go and buy plants but they have been told to totally isolate - its a no win situation for the plant growers - and people who love gardening

Greatly appreciate what you are saying but do think the NHS Doctors surgeries etc have more than enough to cope with as well as trying to help organise food distribution

Supermarkets could control rationing by putting a limit on the amount of things purchased as it would take more time for the Government to get rationing organised. The other alternative is called self discipline and common sense which seems to have completely gone out of the window and is proving that there are still a number of selfish people in the world whilst key workers are putting their lives on the line for the good of others.

Yes getting dressed as normal, having escaped back to GB after a lovely holiday, caught up on all my washing, ironing and now having a catch up with cleaning. Next job will be the garden. Trying to keep to a normal routine other than having a chat and a trip out. Its when I start talking to myself or shouting at the TV I will know I have cracked up !!!! So it will be watch this space and try to keep your sense of humour.

Why import from the US whats wrong with our own British Meat.

Downsized before we actually retired. Very stressful but long term was worth it. Smaller bills, less housework, and not as much garden to maintain. On retiring found we had more time and money to do the things we wanted to do. Down sizing is not for everyone its a matter of choice and life style.

Its years since I have been too the cinema After reading everyone's comments I don't think I will bother giving it a try,

After reading your comments it got me thinking,( proves my brain does still work,) yes I am alone and have been for over six years now after 47 years of marriage. I am alone but not lonely. I did voluntary work some years ago and no wish to do any more. Not into line dancing, etc. so have given these groups a miss. I always make an effort to go out an about whether it be shopping, garden centres etc. or a coffee or two. I do go out with friends for lunch on occasions but they all have partners or family commitments and I do not wish to intrude into there lives. I travel alone usually to Europe I have met new people and made new friends whilst I have been on holiday and we do keep in touch by telephone or a odd coffee morning if they live local and we arrange to meet up on holiday sharing some of our holiday time together but also doing our own thing it seems to work for us. I cannot come up with any positive suggestions but just thought I would share my experiences.

Journalists just print what will help sell their newspapers, Best advice is just ignore what they print

Would be lovely to brighten up the garden after all the rain

Yes please having always used a kindle a more up to date one would be very nice especially to take on my holidays

Nooooooooooooo definitely not

Totally agree with you, charity begins at home

You are joking - if we have that sort of money to spare spend it on a better cause - i.e. NHS for starters.

Would find the extra light brilliant when I am doing crafts even in day light sometimes can be difficult - fingers crossed may be I might win

Brilliant prize - the birds would be pleased if I won

Never bother complete waste of time.
