Well my train has been cancelled because of flooding on the line north of Barrow. Instead of a 20 minutes standing room only train journey in a packed train little little after 4:10 I've got a train 40 minutes later that's used to be empty enough to get a seat. No idea whether it'll be packed or not. I guess very packed. What joys of train commuting. Add to that I've broken my brompton mudguard. I'm not happy.
Can I be curmudgeonly about "DJs" latest habit of talking over the intros of songs right up to, and sometimes beyond, the start of the lyrics?
Didn't they start this as a way to stop people copying the songs onto tape when that technology became more common? It's probably fair to say they can stop now.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Don't know if this link will work but I was only saying a few days ago that with everyone let out, why can’t we see the doctor, they’d rather make a phone call, at the time of their choosing rather than see someone face to face. A&E are overwhelmed with people going in with things the doctors should be dealing with.
We travelled from London to Pembroke, stopping at various service stations that I wished I had noted for the journey back. What was stunning ( too strong a word but more than surprising) was the mask wearing. Some almost 100%. Some none. It seemed to be related to the condition of the tarmac. Potholes - no masks. Smooth - masks. The body mass of the customers seemed to have some significance too. In Ireland, they are much more covid aware. In a restaurant, if sanitizer wasn't already on the table, it arrived with the condiments. De rigueur in shops, vaccination checked before going into pubs etc. This side of the irish sea - nothing. It was slightly embarrassing to be wearing a mask .
