I am feeling particularly curmudgeonly (a.k.a. grumpy) this morning, particularly with male members of the family, decided to share my grump on here rather than 'nag' So, (sorry @punkdoc) a new piece of furniture was placed in the dining room yesterday and within an hour, became the latest, greatest 'dumping ground' thus far, a belt, a screwdriver, a packet of sweets a pile of coins and a car key. Up until yesterday this 'sideboard' didn't exist, how did it become so 'essential' within an hour. My other sideboard has already become home for cycling gloves, baseball cap and sunglasses, I thought that at least the new one could happily be just for sideboard related things.
The male of the species is not unique in acting like that. If it took them an hour to put stuff on it they are considerably slower than the female in my experience. We'd had an old gas fire and surround removed and I'd just put an electric version together and it was still a few inches out from the wall when I had the need for a 'comfort break'. I returned to find it already covered in ornaments! Her indoors was most indignant when I removed them all.
@D0rdogne_Damsel ... get them used to the idea that anything left on there becomes your property ... just like money left in trouser pockets that are put out for the wash

It warms the cockles of my heart to see UKIP losing so many voters. They do seem to have transferred to voting Conservative though which is very telling. It all adds to the group of people who are very pleased with how Boris and co are stealing our money while compulsively lying to us at every opportunity. It makes you wonder how badly the Cons have to act now to lose voters?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Or just how far all those Labour politicians - MPs and councillors - with all their infighting and far left leanings and corruption in so many local councils are out of touch with "the (wo)man in the street".
Has to be bad for sleazy types to do better.

I'm disgusted at the BBC for posting the carp about a predicted 70% boost to economy, just before the election. I doubt that many of those who were encouraged to vote Tory by this amazing news read on to discover that it was only the expected spending of enforced lockdown savings rather than any achievement by this government.

The damage done by Thatcher reaches a long way ........... the decimation of the unions destroyed the link between 'working folk' and the Labour party ... now it consists largely of folk a lot of people, who would in earlier years have been staunch Labour voters, now regard as over-educated, out of touch and just as elitist as the Tories. So sad 😢
