If you copy just the URL at the top of the BBC page and paste it into the link box it will work B2.

I try that everything. But have to use the share button on tablet and phone. Fingers crossed.

My post was hard to get on here and I posted on another thread, same post but that seems to be missing now 🤣

I looked at our local Covid figures tonight and the biggest group by far is the 59 years and younger age group. I presume the spread is emanating from those who are out and about and whilst some have to be out I hope the message to stay at home gets through to the rest.

B2 I can still see your post on the other thread too. There is such a delay between replying and the posts appearing it is quite confusing!! wink

Nephew lives in tower block on Canary Wharf, didn't see the fireworks but did see lots of folks out, then police arrived 😤😤.

His partner moved in just before lockdown, a real test of their relationship, as they've both worked continually from home throughout. It's very tiny, bedsit with a bathroom really. They even had to stay put for Christmas 😉

Seems lots of folks are surprised at how normal New Zealand’s celebrations were last night. Shining example of what can be done with co operation and good governance. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have corrected the original now. I don't know how pasting works on a tablet only on a Windows laptop or PC. When I looked at it the URL had superfluous content which prevented the link opening. The link that actually appeared was correct.

A tiny, but onboard, compliant population. Lives saved, economy saved, jobs more secure. Win-win methinks. I dream about living somewhere like that. If we were thirty years younger, no one to care for, we would be off like a shot. I cannot think of a single thing I would miss other than close family and good friends.

I get the same on my iPad David. When you share the link from the BBC App, it saves all the superfluous information in front of the URL. You need to edit it before or after pasting, otherwise it does not work.

Removed by self. Failed link.

 Thanks David, I can't get it to work via my phone!

Steve my copy had removed the surplus but still no good. frown

If the UK had a population of about 7m the population density would be roughly equal to NZ and I'm sure things would be very different here.

We have family from both sides who are NZ citizens.  Like you we would live there if we could but we have to make do with visits.
