But first, isn’t it time all these rebel{?} MPs got together with some of those fringe parties, UKIP, Reform, Monster Raving Loonies, independents an’ such and thrashed-out a manifesto to cover their core beliefs in wot they believe to be the best for the country regards ‘local’ affordable energy supply, encouraging and supporting ‘local’ industries, climate realists, border controls and as low a personal tax threshold as possible and formed just the one coherent, easily understood and well financed opposition party for the people? Fat chance.
Anyhoo, on a brighter note, yesterday we jumped in the car and went for a tootle but, sadly, they were all sold out so we continued with a drive, found ourselves in a little market town, spotted a pub and decided to see how tricky it’d be to get a moronic Plan B plague time lunch.
We tentatively entered and it looked like eaters to the left of us and drinkers to the right and there we were, stuck in the middle muzzle-less. And it was busy in both directions.
We took a left, found a table and while my little nest of vipers looked at the pictures in the menu I took a look around. No tables were unsociably distanced and no seating at any tables was unsociably distanced. I also noted that another really, really important rule was being broken. Nobody, when moving about, was muzzled. I further noted that no bar staff or waitresses were muzzled. Nary a muzzle to be seen. Should I dial 999?
No, so with a light heart, I ordered, we ate and as a final observation I realised why muzzles weren’t in use. There was a marked display of enjoyment in the place with much laughter and I remembered that the ‘experts’ had stated co-co doesn’t like laughter so muzzles weren’t required when being jolly...
All-in-all a very pleasant lunch experience from which I’d like to think that, in the end, ‘they’ ain’t gonna win.
Let’s have this number again.
Little warning; co-co diehards who firmly believe gatherings are, like, disgusting haunts of plague transmission will probably want to skip wot’s below.

Mac,
I just suggested, over at NO that everyone carry a black marker pen, and upon seeing a QR code, randomly fill in a few blank dots. Hopefully the system would become unusable and collapse.
They gave me notice at work, when my contact ends on new years eve, they will not be extending it again. In that light I've been able to practice said QR code editing on a few of the notices they put up for the non jobs advertised, at the same time they are getting rid of badly needed operatives on the shop floor.
So, after next week I am back in retirement, at least until they realise the mistake they are currently making - January I suspect.
Ripper,
I like that idea. I'll be getting a black marker first thing tomorrow.
Enjoy your retirement - until you're begged to go back...
Excellent jape Ripper.
Consider a seed to have been sown.
Let's hope your next contract doesn't include any 'new clauses'.
Rick
People going out to enjoy and to hell with the rest, I say.
Mr Higham,
It was only a small snapshot but it was funny to get home and see, all over the TV, how the hospitality 'industry' is desperate for government - our - money.
