Most Deloreans don't get driven very often.

Just from time to time really.

How "nice" an area is to live in, depends entirely on how much money you have to spend on a property.

If you're moderately well-off then Walton or Ashgate are pleasant enough.

A step up from there would be Upper Brampton / Brookside / the poorer end of Somersall, if you don't mind the lack of any local amenities.

If you're fairly rich then the rest of Somersall and out into Holymoorside could be right for you.

If you're a millionaire then Old Brampton, and a few of the out-lying areas to the west are beautiful. But you are getting a bit far from the town out there and are going to keep your chauffer busy driving you to Morrisons every Friday.

As for the rest of the town, well trust me, you can tell a lot about a neighbourhood by how much the houses cost.
There are no property bargains or "secret enclaves" that no one else knows about.

Chesterfield is just like any other town, and if a house looks so cheap that anyone could afford it, it's probably because no one wants to live there.   

My wife gets her flu jab every year, as she's "clinically vulnerable", having asthma. She never gets flu, so that seems to work.

We both got the first round of Covid jabs, and both got Covid not long after. Wasn't too bad, annoying more than serious. So the jab doing it's job, and keeping the symptoms mild, then?

We both went for the second round jabs, and guess what? Yep, both got it again, a few weeks after. Again, not too serious. Just like a bad cold or mild flu.

Since then, neither of us had a Covid jab, and have never had Covid since.

I'm not Anti-Vax, or any kind of idiot conspiracy theorist, and I'm not suggesting anyone else should follow our example. It's just that in our case, NOT getting the jab seems to offer better protection than getting it.   

Got up at 5am to go to work, looked out of the bedroom window. Just a bit of light drizzle.

Half an hour later, when left the house it was a full-on blizzard, the snow already an inch deep.

I pass three building sites on my way to work, all of them had security fences blown over, debris all over the road.

One of the people I was supposed to have been working with was two hours late getting in because part of a tree had come down, blocking his drive.

Rain, snow and low temperatures you can live with, but that wind is a killer.

Early decimal coins were mostly struck from Copper/ Nickel / Silver alloys and are nowadays worth considerably more as scrap metal than as currency, or as collectors items.
(More recent small-change coins are electro-plated steel, and have no scrap value.)

People with access to large quantities of small change will sometimes separate the early coinage from the later stuff with a magnet and weigh it in.

This should give you some idea of how good an investment definitive-pattern coins actually are.

And before anybody starts on about "Defacing the royal currency"...yes, you are allowed to destroy, deface, recycle, or do anything you want with a coin, provided you own it, or have the owners permission.

There was a doctor on the radio a while ago saying that because so many people were washing and sanitizing their hands, covering faces and keeping apart, it was greatly reducing the number of cases of common cold and normal seasonal flu.

It's not just Covid that transmits by droplet or contact infection.

Maybe the one good thing to come from all of this?

Gone are the days of a policeman sat in front of a briefcase on a small folding table sat on the pavement waiting for you to drive over the yellow "cable" across the road, that's how they got me in 1986, £28 fine and three points

I remember those.
Around that time I was working as a "drivers mate" on HGV's.

The favorite trick the drivers had was to run the unit over the cable and then slam on the trailer air-brake, locking the rear wheels.
This would drag the cable, the recorder unit and it's little picknick table into the road, wrecking the lot.

The drivers always had the excuse that a pedestrian/cyclist/cat etc. had run into the road in front of them and so they had to brake hard.
In those happy days before dashcams and CCTV nobody could prove any different.

Wait until the infrastructure is actually finished.
