Discounts
Morrisons is offering 10% discount to NHS workers, teachers and blue light workers. But what about others who have worked to keep services running throughout the pandemic? Bus and train drivers have ensured that there has always been public transport and Postal workers have kept the mail moving. I'm sure there are others who deserve our gratitude too.

Different scheme last month and that brought views too.
Maybe they are doing a rolling programme for different sectors of the workforce.

I was recently looking to open an easy access savings account. One of the building societies I was looking at had a 'thank you' account for NHS workers. It was offering 1.65% interest to NHS workers. The rest of us minions would have got .25%. Why? If anything, I would have thought the minimum wage earners would deserve a better interest rate. Mind you, they probably don`t earn enough money to be able to save anything.

Nor is my neighbour. She's a receptionist at a mental health clinic. But she's got an NHS ID card round her neck, went to the front of the queue when there were queues outside the supermarkets, and would no doubt be given 10% discount in Morrisons.
Without bus drivers many nurses would not be able to get to their front line. We're all interdependent. Without the post nobody would receive their call up to receive the vaccine, and without the bus neither the nurse administering it nor the patients receiving it would be able to get to the hospital. The patients would simply be recorded as "no shows" of course. :-)

The government has threatened to force local authorities to keep schools open. Schoolchildren are not social distancing (it can't realistically be expected) and teachers and kids are regularly testing posiotive for covid and being forced to self-isolate. Many teachers have their own young families. It seems to be a widespread view that schoolchildren should not be deprived of schooling. Teachers are under huge pressure and are as usual undervalued in this country.
