The AFL was one of the last sports to cancel/postpone the season. The rumour is that americans, desperate for any sport to watch were tuned in to the AFL. As we struggle with the concepts of US football (gridiron I think) they must have been flabbergasted if the were watching AFL.
No armor, no helmets, they tackle but not above the shoulder. Ankle tapping is not allowed, imagine tripping a 2 metre athlete in full flight. Not allowed to run more than 15 paces, no offside and they kick the dammed ball ALL the time, oh and no stoppages after every play.
What a fantastic sport to watch.

Just a heads up The Ministry of Defence have been told to be on standby for complete UK lockdown as of Monday evening at 6pm... No one is to leave their home's unless you work in Front Line Retail or the NHS...
I heard this directly from my neighbour Trigger who is best friends with a guy called Boycey. Boycey knows a guy named Del who drinks down the pub with his uncle Albert. Albert was in the Navy during the war so knows his stuff.

Joke what you want, but this is like waiting in a traffic light. All people wait to get green to cross the street, but once a first person crosses in red light, many of the others will follow.
What you describe is already happening in Italy and Spain, where police cars with "Please stay at home" and already arresting people in the streets that shouldn't be there. It would not be that "impossible to think" that it gets instaurated there too

... except all the pubs are shut now, and for the foreseeable future.
You'd have a better chance of getting that conspiracy theory going on FarceBok, or Reddit ... They are generally more gullible.

Could be, I don't think anyone has any idea how long this could last.

Not really that, but somehow in this direction....
I suggested to my wife that we get an emergency generator. I told her we should get one with diesel because we usually have a lot of diesel for heating.
Her comment: Let us take one with electric supply  
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I'm with her on this -- they're considerably less noisy.

It's possible if you consider the sun or wind to power it...
Or you could get the mother of all UPS too...

Solar with battery storage- run off the sun during the day and batteries at night. What holds me back is the initial investment; the batteries are freaking expensive.
In the USA; when fuel costs are factored in, Natural Gas is the cheapest way to go. Actually costs less to run my house (and a neighbor's) for less than the local power utility- to the tune of $10/month. An awful long time to pay it off though.
Diesel and Propane are close in price for operations, and gas/petrol is the least efficient.
For us tinkerers out there (eg CodeWitch)... an old diesel genset could be converted to run on many different oil-based fuels such as heating oil, kerosene, vegetable oil.

Pretty Cool answer 
Well, I have plenty of roof to place solar panels, but unfortunately I don't have the money to do it (especially also not for the dirty batteries) 
Have a nice day
