    I shall be fine then because it is against my religion to have any adornment anywhere on my body.
    In any case I was born on 29 February so I am still a t e e n ager!

    They have to catch us first BT, not something Plod is very good at anymore. In the Telegraph, on the same page that they were threatening to set the Old Bill on us and lock us gimmers up, there was another piece that said the police would only be tackling serious crime from now on. You REALLY couldn't make it up, the police are so overworked they don't have time for petty crime, but they're supposed to find the time to chase the likes of me and Sub round Clitheroe and Ashington. We live in a lunatic asylum.

    Besides being threatened with house arrest, I'm also reading that the government are asking us not to panic buy. Well Mrs S has got wind of this incarceration story and is now afraid, if we can't go out, we may run out of food. So what are my duties for this afternoon, get the car out and take her down to Booths, where she will panic buy to her hearts content, at least enough to last us until mid summer. But if the government tells us we aren't going to be allowed out, what are we supposed to do, do they expect us to starve to death slowly ? Fecking clueless, we live in a lunatic asylum.

    I'm delighted to announce Terrier Taxis have agreed to do the weekly shop and drop it off at your door for £20.00. Before you say that's expensive you can buy your goods at "shelf price" from Aldi, ASDA, Booths, Lidl and Another of your choice. The Child Bride's Shopping Agency will do the actual shop. Self-isolate to your heart's content.

    You will be invoiced from "Gimmers Incorporated".

    I've told Mrs S not to fret BT, I won't let us starve, but you know what women are like, so we did our best to empty some shelves at Booths. There were no toilet rolls or bread flour, we didn't get down quick enough for that. Not sure why there's a panic over bog roll though, I have a plentiful supply of old copies of the Guardian so no worries, I knew they'd come in useful for something.

    I've just been down to Morrisons and there were no eggs, spuds or sausages.

    Luckily, we are well stocked up on pies and Condor.

    Will you lot follow the Government guidelines announced tonight? I think we would be daft and arrogant not to personally.

    Great picture there Norder!

    As you say, you don't need a mask if you breath through the pipe.

    Also makes a useful scuba thing if you fell in the sea.

    We'd already decided to cancel all our social activities from this Sunday, no pubs, restaurants, cinemas etc, we'll do the essential shopping and that's it, we didn't need the government to tell us, I don't want to catch the bloody thing so it was just plain common-sense.

    But if they tell me I can't leave my house under any circumstances and I have to depend on someone else to supply me with food, just because I'm over 70, while 69 year olds in far worse state than me can wander around to their heart's content, then I won't be co-operating, unless I have some symptoms, then obviously I'd stay in. When I can walk for half an hour from my doorstep and not see another soul, do they seriously expect me to stay in and stare out of the window all day ?
