I can think of worse places to social distance Olly!!  😀😀

I know. It is very, very easy for my wife and me to endorse hard social distancing but we like to think we would say the same if we lived at the top of a tower block. Would we? Well, we hope so.

Hi are you still open as the government has said that all non essential businesses should now be closed  and telescopes are not an essential  I guess 

Have you really joined SGL only to tell us off for being open? 🙃

If you read my earlier response in this discussion you will know how and why we remain open for business. 

If that isn't enough please see this from the BBC website: 

People can go to work if they cannot do their work at home, the health secretary has said

HTH,

Yes I saw that but this was posted 20 hours ago given the government speech last night

It was after last night's announcement, and my question was as a result of it . Sorry to hear that your business has closed though. The issue does seem a bit contentious though, with questions today over whether, for example, house building can continue. It all seems to depend on whether the "2m" rule can be satisfied. FLO seems to have got it sorted.

If you needed to close your business then I can imagine how hard that must have been for you and your staff 😔

Best wishes,

And on a positive note, the weather for large parts of the UK is currently co-operating with new Astro equipment purchases.

Have you run out of 'May contain Clouds' stickers?

I didn't get one with my new Sky-Watcher Skyliner 200P Dobsonian, but that's probably why I wasn't jinxed with the weather - for a nice change! 😂

We'll happily send you one 🙂

Most bike shops do servicing too and if you have to go to work because your boss insists then probably better to cycle than get on a tube or bus right now I guess

[johninderby]

Cycling s one of the forms of exercise being recommended by the gov so access to bikes and parts needed.

My bike shop has just repaired my broken gear cable.

Said he's never been busier.

Strangely,  I am struggling to imagine you in fully lycra Jeremy. Could you post a picture?
