I though Facebook were supposed to be shutting down all the nonsense like that? This whole situation is revealing a lot about society.
Does anyone know why the increase in the contactless card payment limit can't be brought in sooner than next Wednesday? It seems like they could prioritise something like that in the situation.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I once worked with a bloke who was so mean, he used his teabags several times. When they split, hed staple them back together. He also reused his sliver of lemon
@Fairygirl. No desire to ever go back to Greenock.
Understandable..... Was his name Mr E. Scrooge @B3? I seem to remember my sister telling me her MIL used to hang them up with pegs so that she could reuse them.
Now- there's thrifty, and there's just downright tight.... Every penny a prisoner.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
There's a name for the practice of keeping a teabag to make a second (or third) cup: it's called greeping. The name originated in a game of nonsense Scrabble. In this delightful game, the usual grounds of challenge are reversed: if it's in the dictionary, it's not allowed. You have to invent all the words, and they have to be pronounceable, not just a random assortment of letters. To add interest, players may be required to define the words they create.
We were playing at my mother's house, where, as a drinker of weak black tea, I kept an old mug with no handle as a receptacle for my half-used teabags. I had just laid the word "greep" and was trying to think what it might mean, when someone brought me a cup of tea and said "It's a broken mug for keeping a teabag you want to re-use." Henceforth, any receptacle used for the purpose is known as a greep, the practice is greeping; I'm not sure whether the practitioners should be greepers or greepists.

Hosta - They won't let you back into Greenock you know....
Mind you - would you want to go back?
Same weather again here today, but I shall content myself with moaning, and drinking tea. While I still have milk and teabags of course....

I have a friend who drinks weak black tea. I will inform her she's a potential greeper/greepist
