Thanks for that Dermot.

I bought one bag of sugar in Tescos about 3 months ago - it was 5kg - but it was just ONE bag! :-D :-D :-D

Start buying now Sharron ;-)

Oh,dear.

The Sevilles will be in the shops next month and I will be needing to get 10lbs of sugar from Aldi.

That will making me look like a right one won't it?

:-D :-D

Lots of salad and veg in our village shop. It’s a COOP. Thought the hadn’t got the stock in. ;-)

Morris (line) dancing

A(l)l di stance spacing I hope.

:-D :-D :-D

Lidl bit of queuing

Test cues (Tesco’s)

On a lighter note, shouldn't the queues outside Waitrose be known as 'Waitrose Wait Rows'? :-D

The respect is gone. The appreciation is gone.
The “thank you so much for working through this” has been replaced by “this is ridiculous”.
Understandably the frustration felt by patients and their relatives is at an all time high. The annoyed eye rolls and huffy sighs when you tell them “it shouldn’t be much longer, we are doing the best we can” are really starting to chip away at our morale.
The free coffee and meals are a thing of the past.
The hotel lights in the shape of hearts aren’t on anymore.
The neighbours that waved us off to work and told us to “stay safe” have gone back inside.
And the local rag is back to pointing out our short comings.
We are still here. We are still fighting. We are working harder than we ever have.
We are exhausted.
We are frustrated.
We are so emotionally and physically drained.
We are skipping breaks.
We are going in early and coming home late.
We are missing time with our families. We are doing THE. BEST. WE. CAN.
We aren’t “healthcare heroes” anymore. We have become slaves to this pandemic, and it is really exhausting.
?? RESPECT THE NHS ??

Well Brexit was Johnson's 'baby', nothing to do with any other party
Surely it was 'Oven Ready', as Johnson said 'Stick it in the microwave at gas mark 4'.
Which should have sent out a warning to most people :-S

I am not talking just about Covid

Not sure the other political parties - who offered to set up a joint party committee to cover covid, but were rejected by Johnson, have had any dealings with this - so, yes, it IS all down to the current Government in power.
If other political parties had been involved, Johnson couldn't have given billions of pounds worth of contracts to his 'chums' - who had neither the facilities nor the know-how to fulfill their contracts, hence a useless track & trace, PPE that is unuseable etc etc

That should read all parties and MP's none of them have anything but smirks and lies

RTR, you put competent and govt in the same sentence????

If it wasn’t for the last minute nothing would be done.

Scaremongering

Oh yes - she was due to have it delivered on Saturday.
It was food for Christmas and a couple of weeks after - so she wouldn't have to go out.
She had to go and do a 'big shop' yesterday :-(
