I never garden naked. Even when it was totally private. Nettle rash is awful. Now a white towelling dressing gown is another thing. I'm sure one of the neighbours children thinks there is a ghost floating about opening up the greenhouse in the morning. I never dive without a full wet suit either. Plankton rash is just as bad, and try telling Australian customs that the steroid cream is perfectly acceptable to buy in this country. When I actually went into an Australian Pharmacy in Exmouth WA to buy a tube of hydrocortisone cream, I got the third degree. Then I had to sign for it. Then my friend said that I was a British Pharmacist and I got offered a locum job on the spot.
Today's grumble! The wind took my little plastic greenhouse today. Saved what I could and moved it to the proper greenhouse but oh so sad to see all that hard work and care just trashed
That's annoying for you. Several posters on here have apparently taken to tying their plastic greenhouses down for jus that reason. It has been terribly windy all day, my poor newly planted runner beans were feeling the draught.
I am a football 'fan' - I like watching football. But who is deciding whether certain industries have to adopt the social distancing rules? You can't play football without breaking the rules. You can't fly in a plane (with normal seating arrangements) without breaking the rules. So can factories and offices then simply ignore the advice and have employees within a few feet of each other?
I really can't see how some industries (like football..and most collective sports, air travel - bulk travel in general) can work, or even be thinking about working, unless the social distancing thing is dropped completely. And what sort of message does it give to the general public if those industries are allowed, while family members may not be 'allowed' to see each other?
I'm afraid it's another example of the arrogance of "football" and the bubble in which they live that they think they're immune and SO important that rules don't apply to them
Good result Hostafan. personally I wouldn't touch Talk Talk with a barge pole no matter what their prices are, I've heard my SIL moan so many times about their service, it's quite put me off.
I've been with them for the 8 years we've been here in Devon and also about 3 years in Hants. I've never had problems. ( until lockdown ) I'm sure there isn't an ISP without dissatisfied customers. I'd not touch BT with the most socially distant barge pole.
It's all down to personal experience isn't it. I've been with BT for years and never had a problem which hasn't been fixed quickly. I have a speed of over 70 mbps so nothing to complain about there.
We've missed it this year but a note for our calendars

Absolutely typical. We have our own special day and nobody tells us about it.
I gave up on BT when they started charging a " payment processing fee" of £4.50 to pay my quarterly bill, even though I paid by card online. It cost them NOTHING to "process" my "payment" and they could never give me an explanation, or a cost breakdown to justify the fee.
