You must have gone to the wrong company. I could get fibre broadband without having a landline. I only have basic broadband though as I don't have much use for it
4 is the max number that can meet here, and even then socially-distanced. People simply are not having people over to dinner or meeting in social settings. It seems to be working too. Practically all new cases are intra-household or in group residential homes like nursing homes,etc.
Viv, I remember the old number plates there alright.I much preferred them.
They had to change them because people from País Vasco kept getting their cars attacked and vandalised by idiots when they parked them in cities like Madrid
Also, Biff, each county has its own car registration plates, and the vast majority tend to buy within their own country. Thus, if a cop sees a D reg car (Dublin) whizzing towards Cork, they can be pretty sure they are not locals
Z, the green boys are certainly a throwback. They should have been disbanded back then.
Also, the fact the discussion about the civil war is still avoided there, means that people have not got closure from it. So those feelings still remain.
We seem to be similar to Jig. Older people are asked to stay in their homes to protect themselves, but the police wouldn't stop them if they went shopping or to collect prescriptions etc. But if they don't want to go out at all, the postmen (women), police or any amount of people who've joined new volunteer groups will collect them instead.
The rest of us are officially allowed a 2km area for taking exercise, but again, if you practice social distancing, they won't create a fuss if you go outside that.
Only essential workers are supposed to go to work, there is an official list. If you are on the list, you will have an official letter if you are stopped.
There will (hopefully) be more of a crackdown this weekend to stop people travelling to holiday homes. We all agree with that. Except presumably the people who will try to go to them.
Generally it is relaxed, but people are obeying it voluntarily anyway as they know it's for the common good.
Yeah Z, I've been there several times. It is a nightmare. I've never liked the manner of the cops in Spain. Especially the green ones. They like power too much, and are now been given too much. Ours have extra powers at the moment, but just for the 5 days over the Bank Holiday weekend. That is to stop people travelling to holiday homes. That is the right thing to do. They don't tend to go power-mad though. They are not encouraged to do so by the government either.
