Possibly because their customers cough more than others.........

Where did you get your statistics from? Looking at BBC news website it's reporting Hungary's covid 19 deaths are worse than UK!

I agree. I've noticed standard of English on BBC News website is not same as in the past. They seem to be heading in same direction as Daily Mail.

I don't trust the UK figures as:

1 - the government can't count properly
3 - they fudge the numbers to back up their policy decisions
4 - Boris is well known to "misspeak" and tell untruths (blatantly lie some might say)

Gallows humour:
My wife just told me that in spite of the curfew you can go out at night - if your dog needs to do his/her business ...
Fun fact:
The Covid vaccine produced by Pfizer was developed by German company BioNTech which was founded by two docs/medicine profs - a Turkish couple who still manage it.
Those two are children of Turkish families who came to Germany as "guest workers" - the husband's father worked at Ford in Cologne.

Wolfi - Gallows humour? More like nudge, nudge, wink, wink .... are you sure your wife wasn't referring to "dogging"?
On the issue of taking dog/s for walk after 8pm it's so dark in our village it's too dangerous. Street lights are dreadful here but then I'm grateful I don't have a streetlight right outside my bedroom window!
