That's what I'll be doing as I'm 70+ and self isolating.

Signed myself up this evening, I've nothing really to do after work and at the weekends now, no one to care for family wise, no kids or missus so thought I'll help people who are in greater need than me.

Will likely be a couple of hours most evenings after teatime, and a few hours each weekend day.

Driving only.

I wonder if this could actually be a positive and it actually brings the country together? Yes this is bringing out the worst in some people but others are stepping up to the mark.

I don't know, I'm a key worker and wasn't asked in the sign up process what my day job is.

I hope so. I would want to be well paid if I was in charge of a large company and massive budget.

Yes! For the last few days and the next few, I am doing my normal NHS job and driving around delivering IT equipment to staff who are now working from home and need computers. Its a bit odd: ring to say I am outside, leave laptop bag, they open the door to collect, then I help them set it up whilst I drive to another address.anyone with a car could do it. We have over 1000 laptopns which need delivering. And we are a small trust...
