What happened to Greenshield stamps?
The football pools - are they still going?

Nectar card has taken over from greenshield stamps.
you can still do the pools. But most people now are doing accumulators and other bespoke betting options. Who wants to predict score draws?

Why do I smile at people when I wear my mask? Can anyone tell?

Millennia of socialisation isn't going away over night

If its genuine they can tell by your eyes.

Personally, I'm enjoying mouthing evil hexxes that no one can see

Why do Money Supermarket feature a bull in their adverts? Do they realize what it's short for?

just listening to a caller on the local radio phone in saying " The cellar was full of raw sewage". Why emphasise the 'raw' bit. If it's cooked does that make it ok?

Raw means untreated. Like raw materials.

I went to Greenwich last year to catch the annual Astrophotography exhibition. I nipped into a local corner shop to buy a sarnie & drink. I waited while an elderly lady in front paid for her goods, then it was my turn.

I handed the shopkeeper a note & he counted out my change when...

Mr I-am-in-a-hurry ran in, grabbed a can of fizz from the fridge and just as the guy was handing me my change, he leaned over me as if I was inconveniently in his way, dropped £1 into the shopkeepers hand, which still had my change in it, said 'there you go mate' and ran out....

Next time someone acts as impatient & rude like that, I'm tempted to slap the fecker..... Is this just in London or are other people in a rush so blasted rude?.

That happened to me last week in a bank. I was queuing at the counter in an orderly fashion when - of all people, the singer Diana Ross rudely pushed in front of me like she had some kind of entitlement to behave that way! I stood up to her and said, "You can't hurry, love, you just have to wait."

Or thinking about it, was it the drummer, Phil Collins?

I think it was Phil, but I gave you a like for the gag

Treated is often called grey water.......not so smelly!

Doctors keep telling us that donner kebabs are unhealthy, but if anyone has a better way of getting a drunk person to eat that much salad I've yet to hear of it.

One for the Flat Earthers out there...If the Earth is flat, how come cats haven't pushed everything off the edge yet?

Or maybe more pertinent currently, with all the social distancing has anyone fallen off the edge?

Who do people say "I'm not a doctor myself","I'm not a lawyer,so i wouldn't know" etc etc when replying to questions,statements on the radio/tv etc? Yes,we know your're not a doctor or a lawyer,so why tell us something that's clearly obvious? For example a documentary filmed years ago about a campsite manager featured a scene where one of the holiday makers was taken ill. The campsite manager said "I think he'll be ok,but i'm not a doctor myself.so i'm not certain". There he was with a mop and bucket in his hands. 'Oh,thanks for telling us,i thought you were a GP moonlighting as a bog cleaner for a bit of pin money' thought i.
