Indeed some of us are still just about working, hoping to hang on in there until this current situation eases up.

I get the impression that most of the frequent posters here are not working any longer. Is that the case? Of course, posting to this list does not count as work. What does it count as though? I sometimes think that posters from both 'sides' are auditioning to become one of Mr Cummings advisers in No 10.

If not that, what? There does seem to be a lot of preaching to the converted. Are posters hoping to convince casual readers to change their point of view after dipping into this thread? Personally I would be worried if anyone comes to these threads looking for political enlightenment.

How many people just come here to read the threads? They are mostly populated by the same handful of posters. From my own calculation (please note that other calculations are available) since 03.11 on the 30.3.20 until 08.11 on the 3.4.20, 14 different posters contributed to the thread. Of those 14, 3 posted once and 1 posted twice. I think it safe to say that no opinions were changed in these 5 days.

We are living in strange times. Let us hope that as many of us as possible manged to live through it.
