This was his original.

Now he's changed it

Is he being deliberately ambiguous?
-
No, he realised his initial message wasnt as accurate as it ought to be so changed it to reflect that.
-
Does it matter what he says?
Wait until the laws come out. You never know, we still might be able to work.

FROM DAILY MAIL WEBSITE
The second is for just one form of exercise a day, for example, a run, walk or cycle.
But this exercise must be conducted alone 'or with members of your household'.
The third is to fulfil any medical need or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
The fourth is to travel to and from work but the guidance states this should only happen when someone's profession 'absolutely cannot be done from home

We will.
Unless Rishi goes further with a safety net for the five million self employed; we'll still be working.
And not only that, if government stopped EVERYONE working (with key personnel excepted); they'd be footing the bill for 80% of those worker's wages too.
Government knows that the 5 million self employed in the UK aren't all married to nurses who can look after us.

It’s so obvious that’s why certain jobs or trades weren’t mentioned his speech would have lasted about an hour just listing them,I think he thought when he gave his message he wasn’t just talking to people in tracksuits and the latest Air Max trainers eating a kebab.
Common sense springs to mind that speech was enough for me to think I’ll leave it for now.
-
I’ll have a word with Boris I’ll tell him if he can say if it’s ok or not for window cleaners to go out and earn a few shillings 😂,if you’ve got to clean windows in quarantine conditions you’ve got yourselves to blame for not thinking of a rainy day in years gone by.

1. Staying at home
You should only leave the house for one of four reasons:
Shopping for basic necessities, for example food and medicine, which must be as infrequent as possible.
One form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.
Any medical need, or to provide care or to help a vulnerable person.
Travelling to and from work, but only where this absolutely cannot be done from home.

It's pretty clear to me. If anyone here is able to clean their customers windows 'from home', well I'd like to see that, must be a very long pole.
Anyway, I'm off to work as usual.
-
I do think of rainy days and do have money put aside but why should my employee & I in separate vans not work if we can. Ticket through the door, pay by bacs, job done.
Why would I turn down money when I can be out earning. This thing could go on for weeks or months. I'm not gonna live off my savings and £73 a week. Why should I? That's like cleaning houses for a fiver when you can be charging fifteen.
-
Time to see the shirkers or workers.
As long as we keep to the social distance rule and stay away from people which is easy to do with a few tweaks to your operation there is no issues. We are less risk than those on the trains getting to work.
I would have less contact with people in one week full of window cleaning than one trip to the supermarket
-
That’s why I charge £15 for those £7 ones in the first place,if you have been doing this job for years and have a decent enough business you should have the means by either borrowing or savings to get you through a few months.
-
Take a minute to think about what state some of these multiple van companies are in that clean windows,I wouldn’t want to be in there smelly shoes at the moment even if they getting helped with funding what state is the business going to be in when they return.
Not scare mongering at all to anyone I can’t see many households wanting to be in a direct debit for window cleaning when the dust settles.

Just because you have money saved does not mean you want to spunk it all over the next 6 months.
Hence why people want to work, what's the point of saving money then having to blow it all whilst dole dossers keep getting hand outs.
-
Keep telling yourself that and you might believe it lol!
You'd love to be in Lee Pryor's shoes. I'm sure he'll be fine.

Sunak might have to offer us something to stop us working. Or he might chance a lot more deaths and let us carry on.
We'll hear from him this week.
My Missus is part time but she does like handsome men. Sorry.
-
Exactly Gomo. Why would I wanna blow my savings now when I can still safely work?
You crack on with your hero talk NWH.

Yep, same ones that shirk at the first glimpse of rain. Any excuse for a day or 6 months off :D

M8 I wouldn’t honestly 😂 I run my business that’s fine for me I do ok for just a couple of us,he does what he does his is a big business for window cleaning but as far as businesses go it’s not big.
Any business at the moment when you go back to it no matter what it is it could have turned to rat poo in days,I was talking to a customer today his business turns over 5-6 million a year he told me at the moment the way things are it means nothing I could go back to it in 3 months and it’ll be worth nothing.
-

Same.
Take each day as it comes, if customers start kicking up a fuss then think about calling it a day. After all they are the ones in charge really.

Before I go to bed I’m going to go and build the biggest cow pie for all you desperate Dans out there 😂,don’t come crying when you’ve got Kungflu.

I think if we're honest, it's a fine line that government is treading. Too strict a lock down and it's economic ruin for both individuals and the country. Too loose a lock down and it's a catastrophic number of deaths.
The aim will be a pragmatic approach to not wrecking the economy and individual's economic welfare versus keeping the level of infected to manageable levels (which will mean people dying).
There isn't a perfect solution to this; we're humans; not God.

Window cleaning has got to be super low-risk when it comes to catching the Chinese plague.
The window cleaners here who live with front-line NHS staff (bless them) and supermarket workers (bless them too) are the ones at risk.

Ballcocks!
You're bothered about your window cleaning. And because you work for your bird, any contact with anyone else will be classed as a social gathering.

If you live with someone who works for the NHS and they are telling you it’s fine to go out cleaning windows they must have the Kungflu already lol,they would be saying to you stay in a safe environment and don’t risk it for a few shillings.

He's full of it on t'other section about the seriousness of it.
But when it affects him working for his bird, it's a different story.

Where do you find this revised tweet from government
Billboard checklist
I saved what slacky posted but I can’t find it myself 🙇🏻♂️

Didn’t know if that was deliberate
-

So a bloke, that can't stop us from travelling to work, comes on TV asking us not to travel to work. The same bloke can introduce laws that can stop us travelling to work and we're all relieved?
