Maybe they have been advised/realised that they are part of the problem when they thought it was all a load of bollox!!
That would seem to be the answer Hal.

During the first lock down the under priviliged areas of Cork were moving. I know, I worked them.
But today no one is moving..... anywhere....
The novelty has worn off .....most are now alcoholics with mentle issues and drinkin in the gaff wit Netflix......they taut this ting be 3 months an back to normal....course its probably a decade to recovery away if ever .....
Half of yous will be trowing in the towel ....

I have worked since the middle of April and it was OK'ish, mostly app work but still made a decent wage fer a few extra hours per week.
Since Level 3 was announced 2 weeks ago the arse has just fallen out of the game.

What mystifies me is that folk moved and moved a lot during the first lock down in March/April/Etc..
but now there aint no one moving anywhere and I cannot understand why ??



I think its  the weather

Ever notice that people who give up smoking hate smokers with a passion. The same applies to people who quit drinking.  They think anyone who has a beer is a roaring alcoholic.  Strange carry on altogether.

I carry WC passengers.

But say in 10 years time when there are enough wav taxis, maybe then we can change to saloon cars.
