    Very good result, and exactly along the lines we have suggested - you played that perfectly.

    Other keyworkers take note that you CAN call the shots and not be led into a paper hearing, when a simple email might well see some cases discontinued for PR reasons right now.
    Also, a friend of mine who isn't a Keyworker did exactly the same thing - and claimed they were a Keyworker - and got it cancelled so it's worth trying that!

    Well done on your win.

    There is a distinct difference (in my opinion) between a key worker and a NHS/health keyworker. I consider my Postie, recycling and waste collectors, grocery delivery drivers, warehouse distribution staff etcetera to be key workers.
    I consider NHS staff and carers etcetera to be front line key workers.
    I agree however that nobody should lie for their own gain, even if it is to the detriment of a liar and scammer.


    I married my cousin. I had to...
    I don't have a sister. :D

     I think that the more you can confuse a PPC scammer the better.

    I think they're more confused by the truth!
