I'm not out working - I completely understand both arguments.
I'm waiting to see what the government decides on our situation regarding self employed - Martin Lewis reckons it will come this week.
If it's unfavorable for me I'll make a decision based on that.

[AuRavelling79]

Good post. I have also copied Martin Lewis's comments and put it in the main coronavirus/work thread.

[G Griffin]

Excellent last sentence, Marko.
If they abandon us it, it becomes interesting.

I've printed it out in LARGE PRINT and carry it in the van in case anyone tries getting a**y about us working!

Read the wording again it’s not clear and isn’t essential work ,so ones should stay home

Scroll down to last bit regarding window cleaners and gardeners. It's a grey area at the minute in England.

It’s not grey for the selfish and stupid. They’ve gone out without a care in the world.

I emailed my mp today, he replied to say I could continue once I adhered to social distancing and  wasn't unwell.

Because that's the government guidance.

Go to work, maintain social distancing, and clean windows. 

Or...

Stay at home.

Either way you’re doing the right thing.

It’s the tubes, trains, parks, and beaches full of shed loads of people that the government wants to stop.

They'll become less so, soon. We're in unchartered waters and I'm running out of clichés.

Nothing to do with being selfish or stupid.
I've just heard on the radio the Government said: self employed work can continue as long as it absolutely CANNOT be done from home. 

Stop using your own anxiety to slag people off unnecessarily. 
It's not helpful, you are free to make your own decision if you are in the same boat, let others make theirs.

No anxiety here. You crack on and Knock yourself out. Literally if it helps.

good stuff...we should all be out working if we work alone (practicing social distancing,good hygiene and a few other things)......i think its shameful that window cleaners think they should stay off and get a handout off the government!exceptions should only be made for those that have to care for a loved one at home or have pre existing health conditions themselves IMO....

The guidelines are too vague.

Only for the hard of thinking.

I'd like some free money too, but wishful thinking coupled to blind denial isn't going to make it happen.

[TomCrowther]

I have a mix of commercial (all gone) and domestic work. The government need to state that lone workers in the following jobs can crack on as long as they keep 2 meters away from everyone. The rest can be supported financially. Anyone caught having their cake and eating it should be treated very harshly. Hopefully we will know in s day or two.
I did a soft wash and then pressure washing job today. All done safely.

So you think you can run an economy on those guidelines?
It must be a very simple world in your nut. And why are you whining about the tubes and trains, then?
I don't want any free money; I'll gladly be paid for home schooling.

I'm not going to pay you, but I'm always happy to educate and reduce your stupid.

I can’t see us being offered up to 3 grand a month even if we get told we will get help you won’t see a bean until the end of April anyway.

It's good to have ambitions.
You never did educate me about that digital sales tax- think Amazon and eBay- did you?
And I was very uninspired by you telling us that window cleaners and gardeners were not the main drivers of corvid-19.
I did smirk at that though.
Well done.
