The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

I must admit my tolerance for people has dwindled somewhat since this all started. Times have certainly changed and not for the better. In some areas people help each other out and look out for their neighbours getting shopping etc, but in other places it is dog eat dog and shows just how despicable some can be. One person posted on Facebook that they have a caravan not too far from here and that they are going to come down here and buy as much stuff from the shops as they can and stuff the locals.

People in Mach are really angry that greedy people are coming from Birmingham and literally raiding the shops and stores. At the beginning of the week there was plenty in the Co-op, by Friday the place was being inundated with the dummies from Brum.

And some locals are stupid as well. My SIL delivered a parcel to someone out in the sticks. The home owner had wanted next day delivery. As my SIL left the parcel on his doorstep he came running out screaming that they were self isolating and his dare he deliver a parcel. My Son response was appropriate as you can Imagine. How thick and ignorant can people

I am so glad that I live out here and don't have to interact with many.

Morning all. Happy Mothers day!

@IaninSheffield How was your tour of NZ ?

More and more home deliveries started. Many of our restaurants, bakers, etc have started delivering.

That's good, looks like Mrs Tenkay and I will be celebrating her Birthday with a Takeaway from our new Cypriot / Turkish Cafe bar.

No.3 son messaged yesterday to say he and his partner want to discuss something. This is rarely good news. Fingers crossed.

Be ready with the wallet!

How do everyone. Have I missed anything?

Latest test results indicate smelly old undies may kill the virus. Do you per chance know anyone who has some they can donate ?

Don't know.......if you wore Drago's y-fronts on your head nobody would come near you!

Good morning. It's another glorious here in paradise - that's Lancashire but we try not to tell people.

No.1 and No.3 boys are home at lunch time. We won't be having a family meal. Obviously we will practice social distancing. Mrs P and I feel we have to ask them to question if they should come again. We're not sure about this yet.

Our daughter has her No1 son home (from uni) together with his girfriend (school teacher)...... we have sadly had to ask them to stay away.

Yep, same round here. I can't see us using the services though. A trip to a restaurant, pub, cafe is generally a treat, an evening out. I don't feel inclined to get meals I can cook at home delivered to me.

I think our local deli will go bust - they're offering some form of "click and collect". Mrs P has a £20 voucher she was given at Christmas, not sure if she will use it now.

This business only opened June 2019 and frankly was fated from the start. Covid-19 is going to put it out of it's misery quickly rather than the inevitable long decline.

We had a cafe/bar like that. Over priced & poor quality. Never had a chance and folded within 12 months

Dirk came out the closet.

Who he'd left in the closet was as big a suprise.

 

[Dave7]

She's taken it down........that's good. Last thing people need is to start worrying about what's caused this. Hopefully at some point there might be some clearer answers but hypothesising isn't going to help.

Bloody ell Mo.....if you must use big words will you at least explain them. I had to break off and google that hypothe thing.
