I bought some aloe vera soap because it was all that was left. It flipping stinks, even worse than someone who doesn't wash!
I will trade you 2 bog rolls for it. Am I doing it right??? Been a while since I traded anything.
No, keep your bog rolls, just don't shower for a week, it has the same effect. :lol:

Eh, I was spoofing anyway, can't really afford to lose 2 rolls :(

Just dropped into Burger King and tried to wash my hands, like the responsible citizen that I am. The wash basin looked dirty and was the size of a flipping breakfast bowl. Anyone who's had a few drinks would probably mistake it for the urinal. The tap only worked for about one second and it was impossible to wash your hands without touching the dirty wash basin - there was barely any room for your hands!

I ordered a double melt burger. It was so small I could have accidentally swallowed it!

Comforting to know it's business as usual. But it's not just your hands that's the problem, it's the people making it. :? That's why we went for a kebab last night, straight from the skewer to the box with tongs. Yum.

Doing our best to support local businesses up here but feel slightly stung paying 60quid for a car battery locally that would be 30quid online. oh well, these guys need the trade so it's all OK really. I didn't even need it for a couple of months but businesses need help now rather than later so we're bringing all our non essential/future purchases forward. If anyone is still earning then get out there and spend some!

I'm all for good personal hygiene, I can't even trade if I've got sweat on my fingertips because my touchpads don't respond as well. A lot of us regularly wash our hands and I'd expect people in the food sector to have been trained to do it, but obviously a lot of people don't wash their hands or clean their showers, otherwise they would already have the products and the shops wouldn't have run out of anti-bacterial handwash and shower cleaner (another rant ;) ).

The problem is, even when you wash your hands in a takeaway toilet you have to touch the toilet door and the main door before you eat your burger. Soon, those surfaces will not only be laced with Covid-19 but from somebody who wiped his arse without bog roll and washed his hands without any form of soap. :lol:

What you need are latex mechanics gloves, think they're about 11 quid for a box of 100. Handy anytime you have a dirty job to do anyway with or without the virus. They're tight and you soon forget you're even wearing them. There's usually billions of them available online so until Joe Public realises they're exactly the same as medical ones they should be easy to get. Same with garage spray booth face masks, but I don't think I'm going to go as far as wearing my welding helmet cos I'd look like Darth Vader doing his weekly shop.

btw Derek don't forget to take the latex gloves off before you have a pee, unless you like the feeling that someone else is holding it. :D It's a bit of a shock at first if you forget you're wearing them. :shock:

If that's the feel I may have another use for them. ;)

What flipping idiot would design a candle so wide the wick burns a hollow and leaves you with a thick, useless ring of wax???

Your last 5 posts on here paint quite a picture Derek, if read backwards.
