Not a job I could do, well I could but don't think I'd last long !

They look down on staff punching the customers and throwing them in a locked cupboard 

.   


You must know someone who knows me.😁

(But no, they're not at your gaff .. their lot seem to spend more time shagging each other than anything else!)

Talking to one staff member who said that she'd been spat at this morning.....

Absolutely horrific behaviour. I would have reported her. Given the current climate, that is a really bad thing to do.

On the plus side, I got some bog roll just now. Lucky as I only have half a roll left.

If someone spat at me I'd be over that counter and would punch their oppsing lights out whatever the climate!!

Yes, but the cowardly bastard wouldn't spit at you.

I got spat at by a Polish driver late last year. ,(i was on a bike, he in a Merc, they don't have indicators, do they. ). it was, to me, worse than being punched. I felt dirty all day.  Dirty bastid. Got me right in the face.

I just had a thought that if we get locked down for months and everything is shut, where are we going to get a haircut?   

It's trivial I know, but what to do?     

Not bother? and end up looking like a hippy or the wild man of Borneo?    Or go DIY? 

I've got a beard trimmer but it's round the back which will be tricky.   So I was thinking either a crusty style mo-hawk or a mullet! 

And those of you who will get your other half to do it, beware of long standing grudges!   

A valid point.  I went to a hairdresser* the other day, before I walked in, I could hear the bird who was cutting hair coughing and spluttering, so I didn't go in.  So I'm now considering the pudding bowl look, or full on skinhead, both DIY-able.


*Have to use a hairdresser, as my barber - a mad Italian with health issues - went AWOL just after xmas, leaving few other options in these parts.

DIY perm is doable assuming you have flour, bleach, gelatine, hydrochloric acid, urea  and fixing agent available. There will be plenty of U tube videos pretty soon. After four months without haircuts it might be only thing left other than Grizzly Adams look

Last time I played with haircare chemical combinations, in my misspent youth, it didn't end well. But did make lots of load bangs

Sister in law had worst day of her working life today at supermarket. Must be a fine line the company is walking. Dont want to be THAT nasty supermarket that called the police to abusive customers , don't want bad publicity, do want custom and repeat custom.

How long before numbers are limited and security lets one out and one in, one person shopping, no kids, card payment only? supermarkets are drastically cutting lines. Makes sense but Bad luck if you are a niche supplier..

There's only so many trucks that can be unloaded a day,  they need to start sending basic stuff, direct to store from supplier, not to DC, unload, scan to goods, then book it in, then pick it, then load there own truck, then send to store,

We could do from supplier to store same day, 1 truck 4 stores,   but it's too easy.

Well, that's that - pubs, restaurants, gyms etc etc all ordered to shut as of tonight.

But the govt is going to print money to pay everyone 80% of their salary if they have to stop working, so there's that..

Like I said yesterday, that £100 you've got in your pocket will be worth £70 next month.

Define 'not everyone'...

That's still a lot of fags and lotto tickets, for those in Bletchley*


*I'm sure there are many such places across the country full of the 12 year old mums of 3 (one black, 1 white, 1 "mixed race") who need fags and lotto tickets more than food and cloths for their offspring.

[Doctor Gollum]

Unfortunately, there's no food left because their family bought it already...

That reminds me of a joke.

Vasectomies don't stop you having children but do alter their colour.
