Will you go

Will people be more comfortable with a GCHQ developed app with the "Big Brother" undertones than an Apple/Google one where they just want to sell you stuff? Enter conspiracy theorists, stage left.

My OH does the same with the Android find my phone ,since my "incidents" she is wary if i do not answer my phone ,when out with Rosa to long(in her opinion) good job i am to old to be doing anything else

Oh dear, does that mean that my family, especially my grandchildren, will have finally got their way and I will have to update my phone! I have a lovely little pink flip top, pay as you ring phone. It doesn't do internet, it's just a phone. After years of teasing me, I might finally have to give in and change it.

exactly right, and the same has been applied in New Zealand, and great play has been made today in the press on how their lock down was brought into play and implemented, I saw a press report some time ago where they had over 100 motor homes parked up at the airport and incoming people had to self isolate in 1 of these motor homes, not sure how they oversaw this operation, but what we must not forgot that New Zealand has a population of only 4.5 million, hardly the size of London, so i dont think the press do themselves any favours when shouting about how good New Zealand have been given the circumstances.

No but testing and 14 days compulsory self isolation wouldn't go amiss here when people arrive from abroad. Instead of, at the moment, just going straight into the community.

The whole concept of a mobile phone (one you carry around with you) has completely eluded my OH. His phone rings, but he ain’t there........🤷‍♀️

Mmmmm   dont like the sound of forced ownership and always having to carry it with you, will go back to 100% cash and a completely dumb mobile phone. thankyou, and stick to my trusty laptop for anything 'tinternet'.  Luddite ?  perhaps I want technology to be my faithfull servant NOT my master. Anyone who doesnt take cash doesnt get paid.   Unless it suits me.

The original Luddites smashed new machinery, i wouldnt smash it, just only use it if it enhances my life....and i can afford it.

Kindred spirits.

The better way would be to test them before they got on the plane, if they showed signs they wouldn't be allowed on. Unfortunately there is a bit of shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted because we should have had isolation in February and March and we probably wouldn't be in the situation we are now.  That's the problem with hindsight!!!

SWMBO has a phone like that ... she's out, you ring her phone and it rings in our hall! 🙄
