Nobody wants to close the schools but as they are a major source of mixing and disease transmission we really
dont have a choice.I understand its going to cause problems for the parents who go to work but are not classed
as key workers but we are now at such a crucial stage we have to buy the time needed to get the vaccinations
out to everyone, there is no other way out of this.
I can see us having some horrendous daily infection and death figures in a couple of weeks time, this mutation
has come at the worse possible time, things were looking up before it developed but we were warned it might happen.
People who are not key workers should be at home looking after their own kids.
The lock down before xmas had next door on my landing( only 2 floors) have the carpet fitters round, opened the door to see what was going on, said wtf are you doing, they said fitting a carpet, i said we are on lock down, Key workers they said mate (all cheery like they know me). You can fuck right off i said. Went a bit quiet. so i said no fucking carpet is coming up the stairs today mate (said the mate with sarcasm, just because, i,m not there mate). They went downstairs and i could here them talking at the back of their van outside one was arguing with the other, so i opened the window and asked why are you still here?.
Now i had no idea the size of this carpet, but it was not mega as was inside the van, but they had checked and knew the route to get into next doors, which is up 1 full flight of stairs turn 90 degrees 3 steps and turn 90 degrees again then go past my front door straight into my neighbours front door 6 feet away.
Being a gambling man nearest police 45 mins, and not overly keen on a punch up at 10am. I felt, i wanted to increase the odds in my favour.
From the fact that they were arguing, i thought Ok this issue might not be going away, so put my thinking head on, and put my fold out reclining chair where the stairs do the the 90 degrees 3 steps down before the other 90 and put the kettle on. (i didn't need the chair n coffee in the end, but thought would pass on on a massive passive aggressive tactic. I was quote chuffed at the time, and slightly gutted i never got to test it.
Anyway went back to the window and noticed the van was sign written. quite a big company round here. I said does your boss know your here?.
Got, WTF has it got to do with you. now that i,m upstairs talking.
Two phone numbers on the van, one a landline, presume the office and a mobile.
I asked them which number would they like me to call first?. Plus if i get no joy i,ll take a picture of your van and you two kitted up in knee pads and tool belt.(phone in hand) And the police will deal with you, only 2 lanes in and out of here in the same direction (west) for 30 mins. The other is a dead to the sea wall.
Oh Btw my neighbours thought it was all funny as feck, even down to after the carpet fitters left and drink my coffee on the stairs in my chair.
Your probably all wondering why i,.m posting this on this thread, But felt i needed a bit of escapism for the real world and it;s probably taken me 30 plus mins to write as lost me glasses yesterday. New pair in the morning. But got a bit carried away in my last post.
I,m so lucky compared to most people. Retired at 50. Most of my family live in New Zealand, lived there myself for two 7 tear stints.
Only have my Dad (not spoken in 15 years) and Son who live here, Son in 22 so not overly concerned about the virus regarding him,
I own a recovery truck which is 90% used for my sons racing, in fact his race car has sat on the back of the truck since last year, he only got 2 race meetings our of 15 and the engine went bang on the last lap. Shit happens, and thats by far from a moan.
I also own a decent car and a motor home with 3 double beds, bathroom blah
You will never see me bitch about my life. Financially i,m quite poor, i rent my place, it lovely and does me fine.
I like a gamble as much as anyone, prefer now the football and darts, returned £243 in last 2 days.
Unless i had £100 plus normally £200 as a starting stake on the slots, i would not bother, that could be at 20p stakes, but normally 20 buy features.
I cant do the grinds now to get a 10x after 3 hours, so play blackjack,
I guess thats it for this post. I,m not angry now (apart from the member dealer wins) If he posts on this thread again in denial, he is getting both barrels and i will speak to you all after my ban. LOL
