Relevant or not..

The move comes days after Automotive Management reported on the assertions of VTS MoT compliance system MOT Juice founder, Barry Babister, that test centres were ideally-placed to be adapted to aid the national fight against the virus.

Babistser wrote to the DVSA’s head of MoT policy, Neil Barlow, in an attempt to gain support for his proposal, and stated: “The reality of the situation is that through systems, technologies and locations, highly-skilled personnel and accessible locations MOT centres could viably help with COVID-19 testing.”

Started reading that .. Then gave up when I thought of a local garage that one man does around 1500 tests a month .

You want a corvid pass done over the phone for 50 quid ? He will probably point the test equipment at an almost cold cuppa and issue you a certificate to say you are safe to go visit the local bag house/cinema/hairdresser etc.

..contacted DVSA to see if a similar virus testing system could be adopted in mainland Britain using MOT Testing Stations monitored by the DVSA, but nobody was available to comment.

However even if it were attempted, not all Testing Testing stations would have suitable premises, and there could be significant logistical difficulties.

how much of societys sh1te are they expecting us to shovel?we are already an unpaid part of the care in the community system at least judging by some of the mutants i have to deal with on a daily basis.counselling also seems to fall within our remit judging by the amount of folks whos hand i have to hold and offer tea and sympathy to due to their 25yr old piece of crap disintegrating or exploding.afterward they tend to abandon the above at which point we have to become part of the local tidy tip system,try crap like that with the council and you would be prosecuted for flytipping!too many others to add but start with financial/loan adviser/agony aunt and go from there (rofl)

So you were in on it in Preston as well was you

You can't "unbreak" the broken,you can only break the unbroken to break the break of the unbroken, for me, you cannot unbreak me, for I am already broken,so you have no need to break the break because I am not unbroken.

Sorry if it appears that I'm winding things up but nothing changes. Say what you want but put a smilie on the end and it's fine!
