I asked a question about if the reason they are doing it had been considered. That was all

We all know the rules. We all know why they shouldn't travel. I asked about if anyone from these hostile rural communities had actually bothered to ask why.

Cheeky 😝 fecker 😂 Braders.

My better half was in waitrose while I slummed it in Aldi 😂

We've also got a Co-op here in Sandbach but my butler was on gardening duties that day. 😂

I bought 4 brand new Fox rx+ at the northern angling show and I'm itching to get out and blank on them.


What have I learnt from the Lockdown is
A). Aldi toilet rolls are still useless.
B). I know how to fiddle with the fox rx+ settings in the bedroom 😂
C). My phone now inserts "Lockdown" in predict a text.

(if anything good comes from this monkey 🐒 snot virus ☢ 💩 then the bin 🚮 dippers 💩 won't be awarded the league)

Keep safe peeps

Want I've learnt from lockdown.

1. My local farm shop has a very good service and produce. Well worth the extra few miles past my local supermarket. I will be supporting them more in the future.

2. Digging the garden is hard work if it has been neglected for a few years but very satisfying when it's done.

3.There is a lot of helpful and friendly people out there, unfortunately they are balanced by some the other end of the spectrum.

4.This also applies to fishing forums and I can see the mods have a difficult job keeping the right balance with some discussions.

5. Some do not seem to realise why second home owners might not always be the most welcome in some areas, (apart from disregarding lockdown rules of course).
To explain if anyone really doesn't know. In some areas house prices have been pushed up to such an extent that local people cannot afford to live there. My wife has seen areas that second homes make up 50% or possibly even more, which of course destroys the community. Very few residents in winter, so the local school, pub, shop, post office etc. all close and it becomes virtually a ghost town.

I have had Amazon Prime & Netflix for a few years now.

If you've not seen it yet watch "Rhod Gilbert and the award-winning mince pie" on Amazon

He's also done two other performances,

Absolutely brilliant.

Amazon prime and net flix, those 15 holiday homes you own and let out in Cornwall must be a very nice little earner. Some way to go to catch up with me though may buy another dozen if this property price crash that's being predicted happens.

"15 holiday homes ". I've only got 7 but they are villa's.

Living up't North its quite easy to get exercise waking our whippets 🐶 every day, yet with fewer cars on the road the sound of our wooden clogs are deafening.

I'm still working through the Aldi toilet 🚽 rolls I panic bought but I'm getting used to them now and I've mastered my technique of only "breaking through" on the 3rd wipe.
I suppose you "Saffeners" ignore the social distancing policy and let your butlers have the task of cleaning one's botty! 😂 😂

Take care down there and keep safe.

Well I hope you guys with all these holiday homes will reduce the rents on them in this time of need and also consider a further reduction in line with property prices if they drop.
Think of the poor politicians that have lost their jobs for breaking lockdown, they need our help, especially after all they have done for us.
I have already offered discounts to several politicians and celebrity chefs who want to relocate here so my conscience is clear.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
