@darthnithin @RJ3811 @BBCWorld@BBCRealityCheck You simply mix it roughly 2 parts surgical spirit to 1 part Aloe Vera. And it's a "recipe" that follows WHO guidelines and recommendations. There's nothing special about supermarket sanitiser. It's 70% alcohol and 30% imolient.
@darthnithin @RJ3811 @BBCWorld@BBCRealityCheck No, they clearly said that you can't make an effective hand sanitiser at home. And that's completely wrong. Hand sanitiser is 70% alcohol and 30% imolient. So if you mix 99% alcohol (surgical spirit, readily available on Amazon) with Aloe Vera gel, you've got hand sanitiser.
@RJ3811 @BBCWorld@BBCRealityCheck Absolutely right. The BBC need to fact check their fact checks. In fact home made sanitiser can be more effective than some shop bought ones, which don't hit 60%.
@A1d9a7m0 @mike_oshea01 @BBCBreakfast Yes that's right but he explained it badly. They currently recruit 27k nurses every year because 27k leave. If you encourage some to stay and still recruit at the same rate you'll have more nurses. The whole point is that retention is cheaper and better than training new nurses.
@SuggsLola@BBCBreakfast Oh, I completely agree. And I wasn't defending Hancock. I was commenting on Dan's inability to understand the answer to his question and the fact that he then spent half the interview trying to clarify this point when he could have hit him with exactly what you just said :)
@RoyalMailHelp Hi. I missed some parcels on Friday and arranged a re-delivery today. The postman has come and gone, but he didn't have my parcels. I don't know whether to go to the parcel office or wait in for the parcel. I have a re-delivery ref of 3-1008652780581 (SS3 9TS)
@parcelforce Looking at their invoice numbers, at least 1,000 people were scammed out of an average of Β£350. No guitars were ever delivered and the company suddenly disappeared.
@parcelforce I have a parcel that has been sitting in customs for well over 2 weeks. It is going to my supplier, who tells me that Parceforce have been unable/unwilling to say why the parcel is stuck, only that they are waiting for Customs to raise the customs charge invoices?
@parcelforce Just in case this is of any interest to you, the parcel in question was part of a scam. The company involved were selling guitars. In fact they sent a single parcel that numerous people were all tracking, then didn't pay the duty so it stayed in customs (and still is in there).
@cloudabove Thanks Ash. The problem I've got is the logistical nightmare of moving many hundreds of websites. I've got 5 servers and a reseller account with Heart. Moving all those would take months. I will keep you in mind though.
@cloudabove@HeartInternet I have to say, some of my customers are questioning the resilience of your data centres. We've had a lot of outage recently :(
@HeartInternet Do you have an update on the network issues? Nearly all my VPS servers and reseller accounts are completely unreachable and my phone lines have lit up. I can't even get to the Heart control panels. Any idea how long everything will be down?
@cloudabove@HeartInternet There is very little in the way of updates there. You may as well say "Dave is poking around with a screwdriver in the back of cupboard with lots of wires in it"! I am having to face hundreds of upset customers and I haven't got a clue what's going on. It has been 4 hours now!!
