Lampwick Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 On hearing ill rumour that Londoners may soon be urged into their lodgings by Her Majesty’s men, I looked upon the street to see a gaggle of striplings making fair merry, and no doubt spreading the plague well about. Not a care had these rogues for the health of their elders! Samuel Pepys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 The family in the flat below this one have had visitors all day. I could hear them through the floor laughing and talking loudly, the kids playing together like kids do. They have just gone, making a lot of noise saying their goodbyes on the doorstep at the top of their voices. They just don't give a toss, been the same all the way through the pandemic. Christmas time they disappeared for about three days, gone to visit relatives no doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have some neighbours (a few doors away) like that. Fortunately next door (the only shared facilities/access I have) are very careful like me.

Walker570 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 Covid likes a crowd... was an advert in our paper a week or so ago, so cities and larger towns are going to be hit hardest. 12 months they have had warning that it may return with a vengeance this winter and done nothing to bolster the NHS or ambulance Used to be huge warehouses stacked with ambulaces and medical kit down near Evesham but I suppose some smart alec in government decided to sell it all and now we could use it like we used army fire engines during the firemens strike. Probably over a meeting at a shiny table with bottles of mineral water and note pads supplied the decision was made ...Oh, we will never need them again so ell them. I remember one of my old Inspectors briefing before a simple carnival day in town.... ex military .... "Always plan for the worst scenario" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this from one of those at the front line BUT they are still having to fill in reams of paperwork so the overpaid bureacracy can shuffle it.
