    Well while you losers are all messing about with some pathetic pseudo-plague I'm on the front line dealing with the real deal. Social distancing has been working well and regular health checks have revealed a large reduction in infection rates. Today I dealt with a lot of self-isolating patients, only one case was diagnosed which was rapidly treated with the offending vine weevil grub removed and sent to the bird table for further testing. Initial reports have been returned that suggest it was very tasty. Plants that were decimated last year are all showing healthy root growth with no signs of subterranean shenanigans. Only regular night patrols will reveal the extent of the missed grubs now but I hope to see a big drop in numbers of adult weevils this year.

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

    Have you noticed how some things you thought were essential a few weeks ago are now irrelevant?
     I just put my re-usable water bottle away in the cupboard.
    What's a handbag for?
    Bus pass?
    Art fund card?

    But who needs a choice of 30 kinds of sausage? So long as they have the one I like, it's enough.

    What you like may not be what others like.  OH and Possum love Merguez and Chorizo.  I dislike both.   I also dislike sausages made with rusk so it has to be 100% meat with some fat and not mechanically recovered cr*p.  Herbs are a good option or leeks or apples or fennel seed if I'm feeling that way out.

    I don't like any of the ones you mention but herbs are good , so we may have a problem @Obelixx😉

    Probably.  I've had good sausages made from chicken with tarragon, chicken with herbs and venison (not together) but my favourites are proper country pork and herbs, Italian pork and fennel and Toulouse sausages.  When I'm in the UK I like proper Cumberland sausage.
