Know someone working at testing centre in Fife.
LF uses a disposable device like a pregnancy test, where the nose or tonsils is brushed, and then the brush is placed in liquid. Girl standing with swab looking lost with empty vial. Friends asks her where liquid is to put swab in. Without word of a lie the girl said to her she thought it was a mouth wash for after swab had been taken so she had DRANK it.
Info, I'm like you not a clue what this means but according to google
SETS stands for the Stock Exchange Electronic Trading Service, the London Stock Exchange's digital order book. SETS facilitates most of the orders on the LSE, including those for shares in the FTSE 100, FTSE 250, and FTSE Small Cap indices.
Libero, I agree 100% but this is one sore sore day.
In at 2.96 - 3.13.
Topped up 1079, 1072, 970 and finally 9.55 this morning. No more money available, would bring tears to a glass eye being unable to top up more.
My daughter was tested yesterday, nose and throat swabs delivered by amazon. No request if she would be willing to give additional. Nephews missus works at testing centre in Fife and they are not taking or requesting any additional tests, and have not done so in the 7 weeks since she started at test site she has just said.
I was very fortunate that I read this BB back in July and thanks to many contributors I decided this was the one for me. Didnt have any huge amounts available but managed 12k between 2.92 and 3.03. So whatever this ends up at I will always remain very grateful to the people who added the factual Info / spreadsheets etc and gave the rest of us the benefit of their experience.
Eh my sister is a nurse, I do have shares in the 3 companies, I do think covid is lethal and testing and vaccine are required, but apparently not if you are pres of USA or PM of UK. Have none of you heard of **** sarcasm
I would be over the moon with anything over £2
Def need to do something. My sis is a nurse, 2 x managers took herandcleaguefor lunch last week. All 4 advised to get tested. Colleague positive and obv in isolation. Other 3 all tested negative but all 3 have to isolate for 14 days. Of this is happening all over the country then there is going to be serious nursing shortage in not too distant future
I managed a top up of 1747 at 10:15 but showing on LSE as sell rather than buy
Good old Matt gets up on his hind legs and rhymes of figures. The average journey for testing has gone down from 6.2 miles to 5.8 miles. He probably means 6.2 inches down to 5.8 inches on UK map.
Testing has reached record highs, everything is hunky dory. Does this moron think anyone believes him ?
If this **** wasnt so serious he would warrant a comedy series of his own.
Unfortunately Hamster I get the feeling that the only government contracts being awarded are to friends, family and donors. We should all switch our shareholdings into the company that makes the little brown envelopes

Scaran, was from John Bercow facebook page I think, it was sent to me by someone when we had discussed the untendered contracts being awarded. The ones I mentioned are only tip of iceberg. I think there is a QC who has indicated he will take Goves department to court over some of it
I'm not sure anyone has been hurling abuse, merely pointing out that the best way to get a Government contract would appear to be having a major Tory party investor on board. Or possibly just someone connected with Tory party being hired as an advisor - that seems to work as well.
Just a few of the examples of corruption or ineptitude, started from number 32 as these were more relevant to this page
From John Bercow’s page;

44. In all, approx £1bn to inexplicable suppliers for PPE that hasn’t been delivered
45. The gov still polls well for economic competence. Go figure
46. Meanwhile a Nuffield Health study found after 10 years of "chronic underinvestment", UK is at the bottom of the league table for health resources; and diagnostics and surgery by the NHS will take 4 years to return to pre-Covid levels. But £1bn for non-existent PPE
47. The gov’s “world beating” test-and-trace programme was described as “scandalous” by the British Medical Journal, and found to miss its 80% target in every Covid hotspot announced this week
48. And finally, Boris Johnson refused a public enquiry into gov handling of Covid 19
