A lockdown in level 4, over here......thought that was coming....Can't say I'm in the slightest bit surprised.

(I wonder what Tesco's is going to be like this morning.) :-\

Arguably I live more in the South East than London and up until Wednesday I was in Tier 2.

What is your problem with London were you bitten by a cockney as a child?

Full of rioting pensioners fighting over toilet rolls

Our Sci-fi dystopia is pretty crap compared to what 70s films promised.

Just got back. Slightly busier than a normal Sunday, but not stupidly crowded. All tills were manned for a change, so next to no queuing to get out. Some good offers on booze if you've got a clubcard.

Almost all customers wearing a mask, but probably a good fifth don't seem to understand that it's supposed to cover the nose as well . . .

Large percentage of shop staff not wearing a mask. Don't know why they're exempt, but they obviously are.

Social distancing has all but been forgotten :(

My ex-wife, having only sons, once lamented during a trip to Bovingdon that she didn't have a favourite tank.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

I am shocked! I would have thought this sort of statement should be met with an information campaign, including performance statistics, photographs, operational histories and some suggested criteria for making a choice?


My ex-wife half way through Bovington exclaimed "another green tank." I think that's when I knew she was going be the ex-Mrs FSN. For goodness sake, it was olive drab!

As a member of Friends of Historic Scotland, I used to drag my family around Scotland to visit the various historic properties (e.g., castles, standing stones, etc.). When we drove into the carpark of one, one of my daughters exclaimed, "Oh no. Not another castle!" and refused to get out the car.

In later years, the same daughter was awarded the 2nd Year Students Archaeology Prize in Glasgow University ...
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
