?? Right, so everyone has got a bit over-excited about Boris and his latest relaxing of the rules. Yes, we all need a haircut ????? yes, we’d love to visit the pub, yes, we would like to take (and leave) our children at the Zoo.... but let’s be very clear. LOCKDOWN IS NOT OVER!!!! ?? Nobody knows what is round the corner! Boris doesn’t know, Hancock doesn’t know, medical experts don’t know and top scientists don’t know. ??

This is totally the blind leading the blind. So, I suggest that from July 4th, we follow these simple rules.

1. DON’T BE A DICK

2. USE YOUR BLOODY COMMON SENSE

3. CONTINUE TO NOT BE A DICK

4. REPEAT RULES 1-3

??Don’t put us all in a winter lockdown. Trust me, you will be very very cross queuing for your shopping in the freezing rain. ???? You will go utterly demented being shut away inside 24/7 because it’s too cold and dark to go in the garden. ??

Amazon won’t be able to handle your Christmas shopping orders and nobody wants to open an advent calendar to see a chocolate Santa wearing a face mask.??

Enjoy life but DON’T BE A DICK! ??

(Rant over. Have a splendid day in the sun???? and wear suncream??)




Oh! apologies to any one whose name MIGHT Be Dick...
