As a key worker I've been commuting further than usual by bike recently.
On the way home I go through RP which I'm entitled to do. Today was the first time I've been stopped by the police and had to show my letter, virtually every other day a jogger has questioned me.
I know people are bored etc, but it doesn't make them the authority.

Awful news, I live just down the road. I've noticed how much faster and less attentive drivers are now the roads are much quieter. That stretch of road is straight with good visibility all round. RIP.

BA Tonka bean stout from De Molen/ Surrey Hills / Cobbetts. Picked up at Surrey Hills while having a Shere Drop fresh as a daisy a couple of weeks ago. Was intending to keep it ........

I never heard that before. Probably unlikely as the trains are probably built the cheapest way possible.

The Park Brewery in Kingston are doing home delivery with 5 miles !

If the Beatles have to social distance.......

Brewing Lockdown IPA tomorrow, I'm using hops that I've had laying around.
In the boil I'm using local grown (Epsom) Target and Phoenix hops and for dry hopping a mix of Citra , cascade and mosaic .

TFL staff are allowed to commute through the park if you show your staff id pass .
No laps though 🤨

The emergency timetable for the Tube is due to be implemented on Sunday 5th April. No details yet ,but I'm guessing it's going to be a reduced service for the foreseeable .

Yeah, it does going to lock the headset though.

Not strictly a complete bike project, garden planter fashioned from a 60's Raleigh, basket and some old angle steel laying around.
If only I was allowed to go and buy some compost and plants........

our new timetables are a bit more intense than yours I'm guessing, our new control room caters for 4 lines so they would have to thin out quite a bit. The rumour is our scheduling department are self isolating causing a delay , not sure if they can wfh ! Our spares need to be in the building as you often get a job with few minutes notice. At the moment the service is run on an hour by hour basis depending on how many drivers are in .

We all had an email similar to the stuff he has posted on Twitter/ fakebook.
I imagine he is being over ruled by the government to keep it running. If the non essential use of the transport network doesn't stop, I guess they will enforce it at some point.
Drivers are having their start times staggered more to avoid contact as far as practically possible.

My son works for the local council as an enforcement officer . Obviously they are not enforcing parking /traffic fines atm. His department has been deemed critical workers and been given different work to do. He has been working in a temporary call centre fielding calls from people/ organisations offering help / food for vulnerable people. If you have time/ skills etc you could try the local council offices......
Today Fulham football club called to say they had a lot of food from the training centre that would otherwise go to waste , a van was sent and food parcels went out to elderly/ vulnerable people!

Probably best to look at kits first then brew in a bag set up on your hob.....
You'd need a large stock pot , grain bags, thermometer, fermentation bucket, bottles , no rinse steriliser, capper, siphoning pipes etc .
Easy to spend a lot of money............
Edit, I have spent a lot money 😬

The service is reduced for a reason, in addition to the people normally off, restday etc. We have a number of people who are self isolating for various reasons. The tube is open for essential travel, that means key workers only .......
Yes we could cancel leave etc but it does mean that they can guarantee a level of service with people returning to work at intervals.
We don't have the option of wfh.

Depends on the style......
Coffee good in stouts ,
Tea(earl grey, lemon and ginger) good in pales, IPA,
Dried fruit and spices in dark/ Christmas beers.
The rose petals went in a 3.5 % pale with lychees, different but was popular in the summer !
Just experiment with flavours that work together.
Haven't tried chocolate yet.........

I've added earl grey, ground coffee, blitzed fruit (frozen first to kill any bugs) and rose petals at dry Hopping.
I've also added stuff before pitching yeast. I've also added bourbon soaked oak chips to a smoked porter. I'm Thunder and Little on Instagram and I've got ratings on untapped if anyone is interested

ok no worries

Not the Tube, but the train operating companies .... .

My colleagues at work are saying the Tube is busy......
We haven't had any hand sanitiser for a couple of weeks.
I suggested they get in touch with Brewdog .
One of the reps said the railway was being re-nationalised ?

I've got one that measures 53 x 38 x 23 cm deep , might be large ?
