Hi There,

We read with interest the latest rules for England to combat coronavirus that come into effect today, the day when the Pfizer vaccine is judged to be safe with over 80,000 doses are expected to be available from next week.

According to BBC the rules are:

You are not allowed to socialise with anyone from outside your household or support bubble indoors, either in a private home or a public place.

From 2 December you can socialise in groups of up to six people outdoors - either in private gardens or public places.

Support bubbles can be formed between one household and another which contains only one adult - with some exceptions.

Children can continue to move between homes if their parents are separated.

You should work at home if at all possible.

If you have to return to your workplace, your employer must make arrangements for you to work safely.

Primary and secondary schools are open, as are nurseries and childcare.

If a school has coronavirus cases, local health protection teams will advise what to do.

All pupils and staff in secondary schools (Year 7 and above) must wear face coverings in communal areas outside the classroom.

Universities remain open, but students have been asked to return home for the holidays in a travel window between 3 and 9 December and complete the term online from there.

From 2 December, pubs and bars may open, but only if they are operating as restaurants.

Alcohol may be served in pubs, bars, cafes and restaurants but only as part of a substantial meal.

Licensed premises must be table service only, stop taking orders at 22:00 GMT and close at 23:00.

Entertainment venues are open.

Gyms and leisure facilities such as swimming pools are open.

Exercise classes and organised adult sport can take place outdoors, but not indoors if it involves people from different households mixing.

Organised activities for elite athletes, under-18s and disabled people can continue.

* Sports events and live performances can open to spectators - up to 50% capacity or 2,000 people outdoors (1,000 people indoors) - whichever is lower.

From 2 December all shops and retail outlets can open.

Close contact services - such as hairdressing and beauty parlours - can reopen, as long as they are Covid-secure.

From 2 December, places of worship can open for communal services.

Worshippers should not mix with anyone from outside their household or support bubble.

Funerals can be attended by a maximum of 30 people. Linked ceremonial events can continue with up to 15 people.

Weddings, civil partnerships and receptions can take place, with up to 15 guests.

You should reduce the number of journeys you make where possible, and avoid travelling into tier three areas unless necessary.

At PCDS Review, like so many small businesses we are not only facing the covid challenge to stay safe and healthy but also navigatine our way through a period when many face closure. With over 25,000 retail jobs likely to be lost in the coming months and more to follow the outlook remains poor. Add Brexit to the mix and the changes and uncertainty it brings we really are on a roller coaster of a ride...

Our thoughts and prayers are for all those effected, especially with Christmas celebrations and festivities approaching fast.

Isolation and Zoom anyone?

Hi There,

We read with interest one of BBC latest news bulletins that high-lights the exploitation of factory workers in India reported on by Rajini Vaidyanathan. It seems that a number of major retailers and brands benefit from suppliers exposed in the report. Here at the PCDS Review we cannot verify or disprove any comments made, nor can we condone such behaviour. However, we do think that more could and should be done to bring about a change in cultures and attitudes to bring about fairer societies where all life is valued and such exploitation, which is totally unacceptable becomes history. In a world that it seems is governed by covid-19 the raising of standards on every front is essential.

STAY SAFE - ENJOY LIFE - STAY FOCUSED!

Monday 9th, November, 2020

Hi There,

Who knows what tomorrow will bring, twenty years on from launching PCDS Review who would have thought one would be sitting at ones computer working from home looking forward to starting the next twenty years.

What does the future hold?

Here in England, we’ve started the second four week lockdown aimed specifically at slowing down the spread of Covid-virus-19. We’ve been here before; the big question will it ever be brought under control and will life ever be the same again?

For sure life goes on, tomorrows just another day, many will adapt to new ways of going about business, some may develop new ideas and strategies to stimulate positive change, we at PCDS Review remain optimistic about the future, our aim being to weather the storm, working to live another day!

‘No Time To Die’, the new James Bond film sees Bond having left active service and enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica, if only... We think that life for many is anything but tranquil, life is extremely challenging. Whilst we await the film premier next year and see just what James gets up to in saving the world we push ahead with our own plans, maybe not so dramatic but never-the-less just as important in our eyes at PCDS Review.

‘For Your Eyes Only’ was the twelfth film in the James Bond series, the title captures the latest initiative we’re developing at PCDS. For us this is not the time to talk about dying but the time for action, it’s time for positive change, ‘‘for the times they are a-changin’’, as Bob Dylan sings.

Come writers and critics, Who prophesize with your pen, And keep your eyes wide, The chance won't come again, And don't speak too soon, For the wheel's still in spin, And there's no tellin' who, That it's namin', For the loser now, Will be later to win, For the times they are a-changin'.

Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin' (Verse 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=90WD_ats6eE

Covid-19 is changing the world, it’s changing the way we think, the way we act, the way we conduct business, its impact on life and lives will be felt for many years to come.

At PCDS Review we celebrate twenty years by looking forward to the next twenty years, we’ll be introducing 'JO', a new initiative that will be for your eyes only, for the times they are changing.

Tuesday 6th, October, 2020

Hi There,

This November PCDS celebrates 20 years in the online news business; we’ll be launching a new initiative as we did way back in the year 2000 when we introduced the PCDS Review. From introducing the concept of using the internet to broadcast footwear fashion news, advertising footwear brands, trade shows and services online, the Philip Clark Design Studio (PCDS) is now poised to introduce another new concept.

To mark our anniversary we’ve resurrected the original PCDS Review logo with additional graphics.

Somewhat vintage in appearance it captures the spirit of the occasion and inspires us during this most challenging of times to push ahead in a world that is moving so fast, a world that is both challenging and beautiful, a world that is undergoing change, a world where all human life is adapting to new ways of staying alive, new ways of doing business!
