After years of working on building sites I am unsurprised by the lack of modesty from some blokes. I'll be midway through a conversation with a builder and he'll whip it out and relieve himself against a wall in full view of the street.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Yes, Ben an empty "poo bag" for the dogs, I have them everywhere, I also use them to store a "used" mask till I get home. My grump, went to "big" Tesco yesterday, bloke stocking chiller with sarnies felt obliged to mention the "chin" mask, guessing he was in his 60s, he just laughed at me, and NOT one of the cashiers was wearing one!

My wife had a similar experience recently in Marks & Sparks. She was at one of the food chillers when a couple of staff members, both maskless, stood beside her discussing what they needed to restock. They moved away then one came back with the topup and was actually leaning across her to put items on the shelf. He wasn't there for long as my wife can be pretty direct when the need arises.
We were a bit taken aback when we got to our hotel late Monday afternoon and found out we should have completed their Covid questionnaire in advance (we had booked in a hurray Monday morning and left straight away so we didn't see it). We filled it in and then had our temperature checked, fortunately we were okay but were told that if we had not been, we would have been denied entry. I quite understand their precautions but as we'd driven 120 miles to get there and were tired, I'm not sure what we would have done next.Â
Changing the subject... I'm irritated that when paying for goods ordered on line, I'm asked for the "expiration date" of my debit card. What happened to the word "expiry"?
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
I watched the Savoy programme last night. It is a truth universally acknowledged that men who wear hats indoors are pillocks. Prats in hats, indeed. And I bet they wouldn’t see anything the matter with expiration date!
My gardening efforts have ground to a halt. Many plants are looking a bit tatty but hanging on to life and not quite bad enough to compost yet. I know should be glad but I was in the mood for a bit of light gardening today.
It's cold in my office, especially when I'm working late. I've taken to wearing a fur lined deer stalker hat to keep my head and ears warm. I might look like a pillock but at least I'm a cosy pillock

You're not a plllock .Because you are isolating, your dubious headgear does not offend those of us with a delicate constitution.
Moving on. This will only resonate with the pre cassette tape generation ( BTW do you remember mending them with a biro?) I don't know why it popped into my head but I started to sing my parent's favourite Jim Reeves in my head - #Put your sweet lips a little clo..a little clo... a little clo# - (nudge) #a little closer to the phone doo doo.# Some records never sounded right without the scratch. I think it works on Cds too. Am I alone in my musical madness?
