  1. Oh I don't know, I've got away with it for 25 years...
  2. A nicer bloke than John you won't meet... that said I've never worked for him... Good luck finding the right person, John.
  3. It gets better, our kid recently took a pub that's got 4 letting rooms upstairs, wait for it Mr J. He's been told that he has to quarantine toilet rolls between let's because it can't be sanitised?
  4. All right for you to say, you're used to wearing those dodgy masks with that lady you she once a month.
  5. Everyone else? I'm in the Staffordshire moorlands ATM, I've been into Leek (market town) today, I'd say it was about 50-50 on people wearing masks. I have got a couple but I won't be wearing them unless I'm asked to. I did wear one when asked at the bakers, I was fiddling/adjusting the bleeding thing all the time, touching my face, which I believe isn't a good idea. Personaly I think it's a croc, but if I have wear one to purchase what I need so be it.
  6. My mistake, must have been the paraffin we used in the lamps that put us over.
  7. 4 ton on a seven n half!? When I was throwing cones 350x1 meter cones was 3.5 ton, throw some night lights on you'd be over. I might be behind the times, but 4 ton on a 7.5T?
  8. I've told this before, at the same lads funeral only those of us in the lead cars could gather around the grave, when it came to the dirt throwing about 200 people passed, or mingled with us. You tell me how it works.
  9. This is where it fell down for me, my mate died in hospital a few weeks back. We were in n out of there with all sorts of BS excuses, "we've brought him some fresh underwear", "he needs his phone charger", any old bollox to get in there. Not once were we asked/told to wear a face covering.
  10. I tell ya what, yam a proper rebel.
  11. Learn something new everyday, sounds like your lot are good livers. That's not to say you'll have a good liver.
  12. K Johnson MBE.
  13. It's crackers, I went to Tesco yesterday there were signs all over saying you must have a face covering from 24th. I spoke to an old lass I know who works there, I asked her if she's got to wear a face covering all day... her reply... no, it's up to us if we want to wear one.
  14. I'm away tomorrow and my van is playing up again so I tried to hire a car, the sticking point is my driving licence went out of date in April, I knew this so I sent off for a new licence in March, I still haven't received it. None of the hire companies will touch me. I've ended up buying a little motor off a mate which I will sell when I get back. I know lockdown threw everything out of shape, but you'd think the DVLA would have something in place. I got a check code from them, which shows my licence as not processed, that's useful!
  15. All the better for talking with you, bud. I'm away from Monday for 10 days in the Staffordshire morelands. Still ain't got my own dog, the farm Jack is a regular visitor mind.
  16. Whatever we call it these days I'm sure Liz gets in touch with centenarians. I'll look forward to the picture of your old fella holding on to his telegram.
  17. Our Liz will know where he's at and send a letter when the time comes, I'm sure you look out to him.
  18. Good luck to the arl fella, he'll be getting a letter from the queen next.
  19. You are a gentleman Gary, enjoy.
  20. Gently boiled with a good dollop of butter, I'm not jealous.
  21. Can I be offended on his behalf?
  22. Three score and ten...
  23. You're about as funny as Dempsey's hemorrhoids.
  24. A few months ago folk would have been chased off, now, we'll be more than welcome. Strange times...
  25. Firstly, stick around, you'll soon know when folk are chain pulling, or not. Secondly, the government ain't got a clue what to advise, control doesn't come into it. I've more scientific knowledge than they have. How do you know you had Covid-19? I was proper sickly a few months back but couldn't get a test without travel and paying through the teeth.
