TROWEL
Shopping in the 21st century
I decided I needed a new pointing trowel, (truth is, I've lost my old one). I don't plan to do any pointing, I need it to dig stones and rubble out of the ground when I'm gardening - like they do on Time Team. Wilco does DIY tools, that's the place to go. Did they have one? Of course they bloody didn't, just a big empty space where trowels are meant to be.
This means a trip to B&Q in Belvedere, not an easy journey when you're on the bus. Did they have one? Dream on.
Eventually I went home and ordered one on line, it arrived the next day.
Shopping in the 21st century (Part 2)
A couple of days later and I'm back in Wilco, this time I needed a padlock. Amazingly enough, they actually had what I wanted. Took it in triumph to the till and tried to find the back of the queue which streched along the entire width of the shop and then some. Everyone packed close together and half of them not wearing masks.
Sod that! Put it back and gave up. Ordered one on line, it arrived the next day.
Shopping in the 21st century (Part 3)
So as not to waste the journey, I thought I would drop into Morrisons to do a bit of shopping. No trollies. Just a few small ones dotted about where people had abandoned them because the wheel was locked after trying to steal them. A few adventurous customers were wandering around the car park in the blistering heat trying to find one. Good luck with that.
Never mind, I'll just grab a basket and get a few things. Of course, there aren't any baskets either so I am reduced to grabbing what I can in my hands and make my way to the tills. Most of the tills are shut as usual. The couple that are open have queues the length of the shop in front of them. Well, it is the middle of Sunday afternoon, who would expect there to be any shoppers out.
Went to the self-service tills. I am confronted with a sea of red flashing lights, a hopelessly long queue with one lonely, stressed and overworked staff member trying to sort out the shambles.
Gave up and went home.
Now before anyone accuses me of having a go at the staff, I'm not. It isn't their fault that the shop won't hire enough people and don't tell me it's because of Covid either. I realise that it will be having some effect but all of these stores have provided a totally inadequate service for years.
It isn't any surprise that people are abandoning the high street and doing their shopping online.
Oh Dear! Katie
Our special Peace Envoy, champion of free speech and darling of Donald Trump, Katie Hopkins has got herself in trouble with the Australian authorities after threatening to infect hotel staff with Covid and claiming it's all a big hoax anyway.
The Australians are rightly proud of their record on Covid and were none too pleased with her latest outburst.
Now don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Katie Hopkins going to Australia; in fact, I welcome it; and in truth, I'm sorry to see her back so soon.
The real question is, "why did they let her in in the first place?"
She has a long history of visiting other countries and making a nuisance of herself and this was no exception. What did they think she would do?
THE NEW WORLD ORDER
Or - how to succeed in World Domination without really trying.
The New World Order created Covid-19 in their secret Chinese laboratory with the intention of reducing the human population to smaller, manageable levels. Unfortunately for them, their plan went somewhat awry with the swifter than expected response by some governments and the development of effective vaccines.
To counter this, they have been using a large number of paid shills to warn people that the vaccines are not safe and that they should ignore lockdown rules. It's no surprise that the United States finished up with the highest death toll of any country after one of the NWO members, Donald Trump delayed taking action to protect his people while President.
Finally however, their plan is back on track with their successful infiltration of the UK Government causing it to abandon all safety protocols just as the pandemic is reaching a peak.
"Don't wear face masks" they say. "Ignore social distancing, you're completely safe". Well, they don't fool me for a moment. I have no plans to do what the government says and I will continue to wear a face mask in public places anyway.
No doubt, the slaves of the New World Order will now attack me but I don't care.
