Re: Get what we ask for - Lockdown
We English are feeling the pinch in relation to the recent virus threat and have therefore raised our threat level from “Miffed†to “Peeved.†Soon, though, the level may be raised yet again to “Irritated†or even “A Bit Cross.†We have not been “A Bit Cross†since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome†to “A Bloody Nuisance.†The last time we issued a “Bloody Nuisance†warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

Re: Get what we ask for - Lockdown
Is that the dog Nev? Those little legs are NEVER going to be at my gaff in 72 hours (believe me, I know), let me know when you are leaving and I'll put the biscuits in the garage 4 days after, add 72 hours to that and we should be fine, after all, we don't wan't to leave them in there too long now that 'Thrifty Peter' knows about them.SPRIDDLER wrote:
In hindsight, maybe I should email you directly, probably as few people know about the biscuits the better, I have CCTV, alarms and all sorts but if there's a quid to be saved............. (sorry Pete)
If all of this doesn't tempt you to come and stop my oil drips, let me know and I'll get Christine to YouTube how to do a bread pudding, I'm absolutely positive it won't be as good as Mel's, but at least you'll get some sort of a ration, and as long as she don't make me eat it, all will be good.

I apologise if anyone thinks I am being too flippant, I am fully aware of the situation and am acting accordingly as instructed, this is my way of dealing with it.

Re: Get what we ask for - Lockdown
Finally found a builders merchant that is still deliveries. Put my order on last, just got to wait for the call back to confirm and pay. They drop off, photo the delivery and make haste. Hopefully can get some more done in the garden next week. If only I could find a skip company running to get rid of the mountain of rubbish I've created in the last week.

Re: Get what we ask for - Lockdown
Delivery confirmed for Thursday. Our bins are being emptied as normal except for the green bins. They have been suspended until further notice to be able to deal with the normal household waste. Our tips are shut, obviously. But doesn't matter anymore as I've probably piled up close to 2 tonnes of rubbish/rubble/garden waste. I have probably already taken that much to the tip over the last few months. It'll have to be a skip by the time we start functioning again.

It helps, Diddley, as he's not too keen on a shower.

As you say, Peter, the dog's not the only one who's a bit lacking in the leg department.Peter Morris wrote: Is that the dog Nev? Those little legs are NEVER going to be at my gaff in 72 hours (believe me, I know),
And a couple of Hampshire lads are the same.
