Hastings News: Covid-19 Grants plus, and a Jolly Fisherman!

I walked to the eastern edge of Hastings Country Park Nature Reserve and back this morning, nearly walked to the west, but with no Pier open I thought I would give it a miss today. There is an event I may well go to in the morning (Sunday) at 09.00 both of Hastings' lifeboats will be launched as an exercise, with recovery at 11.00. Of course emergency call outs may change this; further information at their facebook page.

Plenty of information from Hastings Borough Council on their facebook page, including reminders about the COVID-19 Crisis, maintaining social distancing, washing hands regularly, wearing face coverings in enclosed public spaces and on public transport, the Rule of 6. Indeed, telling us that 'spot checks' of businesses in Hastings to ensure they are COVID Secure are being carried out, you are warned!

By the way, unless you've been asleep these past months (lucky you!) you'll be aware that £billions of Government money (that is your taxpayers' money) has been shelled out to private companies to run what is called NHS Test and Trace. It is not, and has never been, the NHS running this botched together failed cowboy outfit, so please drop the NHS from the name Hancock. Also, there is evidence that information gathered by these private institutions is being sold to third parties, I kid you not...

Oh yes, and I found this little piece of information from moreradio.online regarding emergency grants going to local councils. For Hastings a little over £2 million in total.

As for The Jolly Fisherman (facebook), I managed to get in a visit yesterday afternoon, it had opened at 15.00, so I had a couple of drinks. It was great to see all of the family, and as welcoming as ever. The Pavo was a very easy to drink pale session bitter, and the Hazy Oak Cask 2017 was a significantly more complex perry, sorry, but I finished it off by buying a take away of the remainder, although I have no doubt they'll have something just as interesting to replace it... Cheers! 😉
