    I see Kirsty, she who b******d off down south to isolate at her country seat, has a new craft programme to learn the great unwashed how to amuse themselves indoors.
    It's not a great country seat. Next door to someone I know. She's usually only there about 2 weeks a year.

    You're probably confusing her Devon home with her Devon holiday home. She's got about 3 or 4 houses apparently which is slightly rubbing it in the face of all the people struggling to even get one but who am I to judge. :|

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    She's full of s**t. Always has been.

    There - I've said it. Feel better now  :D

    Did you ever see those programmes where she entered 'stuff' in handicraft sections at  agricultural shows?
    Sheesh... :#

    Certainly the dogs around here haven’t got the hang of social distancing ... their humans may be on opposite sides of the road, but the dogs are meeting in the middle 😆

    I worked as a Quantity Surveyor up until 1972.  Despite metrication officially starting in the mid 60's we still had plans and bills of quantity coming in with a mix of measurements on them.  Room sizes and other dimensions were metric but timber dimensions were still imperial resulting in x metre of 4"x2" timber etc.  Paving slabs and similar were also imperial sizes and remained that way for decades.
