my daughter asked if we could go and feed the ducks at the pond today. I said no because it's not really a route I fancy taking right now (it's a bit far from us, we usually drive half way), and it got me thinking about the poor buggars going without right now because I'm sure less people are going to our local pond.Not dismissing the work of other key workers at the moment...
But I am SICK to death of people saying 'but what about clapping for the binmen, the delivery drivers, the supermarket staff....'
Yes, they're all doing a great job at the moment, and I am grateful, but you CANNOT compare making life threatening decisions and inserting a tube into someone's throat to keep them alive to poor old Darren chucking binbags in a lorry.
Fucks me off!
Theres no comparison.
Well, I meant ducks, but this also standsWho is clapping for the fucks going without???
Did he order from wish? Ive had some shite turn up looking nothing like the photoWho ordered the ventilators from China? I know Gormless Gove announced they'd bought some, but was he the one who ordered them? They're the wrong ones apparently and could do more damage than good and possibly kill some people, they're meant for Ambulance use. Should be sacked for that balls up!!
Yup! I have a 4 month old baby and home alone with him and the dog while partner works. The first 3 weeks of lockdown I was utterly miserable. Cried all the time, didn’t eat during the day was just very low missing my mum and struggling being on my own all day everyday.I don't think some of the things mentioned here are breaking the rules. They incorporated speaking to friends/family members into daily exercise. They remained well in excess of the 2m away rule. You get closer to people at the supermarket for example.
However going for walks with others not from their household or socialising in other people's houses in hugely different and clearly poses at risk.
My husband took the kids out for a walk today and when they left I realised it was the first time I had been alone in at least 6 weeks. I felt euphoric, I whats apped all my friends to bask in my glory. Less than 10 minutes later the heavens opened and they all came running back ringing the doorbell (The door was open but why come in quietly when you can do it loudly) arguing, leaving shoes and wet coats in a trail up the hall and resumed their position 2 feet behind me. Sigh.I JUST WANT MY KIDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND TO LEAVE ME THE F**K ALONE.
Of course, when it's safe blah blah.
