The dementor nimbys on fb saying stay home for a few more weeks and then it will all be OK. No it bloody wont, we are stuck with this so have to suck it up and carry on carefully as we can. What happened to the stiff upper lip we are so famed for, we really are a nation of chicken licken types now god help us.

There are supposedly mass but socially distanced meet ups going on this Saturday. I thought it was fake news. But loads on my wall, 'If you're going to one of these remove yourself from my list!' followed by a litany of reasons why such people are morally inferior. No, not planning to go on one of these, but seriously, no one needs your permission from FB, dear, wind your neck in!

Jourdain11 Lol. You have a smart girl there. Her priorities are in the right place.

merryhouse · 13/05/2020 21:18

oh my word, friend of a friend of FB

I'm off back to work in a school this week, I will use my common sense obviously, but will it be my fault if the kids die of covid or the governments for lifting lockdown too early?....
If children die because I've spread the virus despite my nurse standard hygiene I will get sued not the government.

I decided I was probably safe to say I didn't think she could get sued...

merryhouse · 13/05/2020 21:18

on FB, boviously

Willow2017 · 13/05/2020 21:20

Scottish Anti Dementors, looks like municipal golf courses and the National Trust for Scotland are early long term victims of the lockdown. Is this really what people want?

Shodan · 13/05/2020 21:22

I’d bloody love my child go to go back to school, but she’s y7 and they don’t seem to exist anymore.

Ds2 is year 7 and he's itching to get back to school. But he's now invisible too apparently so no hope for him.

Shodan · 13/05/2020 21:22

@Jourdain11 Good to see you Flowers

Willow2017 · 13/05/2020 21:24

One eejit on my FB has a petition to close the fucking border between England and Scotland because COVID! FFS. That's fucking illegal not to mention stupid AF.

Pinkflipflop85 · 13/05/2020 21:26

Ds tried his uniform on today and it is all too small.

So looks like I need to go on a murderous shopping spree soon to replace it ready for june.

sonjadog · 13/05/2020 21:27

In the country I live in (where schools are now completely back and year one went back three and a half weeks´ago), the school opening announcements came right before the weekend, with the school opening the following week. I thought it was a bit rough that they didn't give more notice, but after reading the threads on here, I think that might have been a good idea. Less time for dementoring and hysteria to grow.

LilacTree1 · 13/05/2020 21:32

Leigh that’s brilliant 😂

Re the mask wearing

I think a lot of people just feel obligated to do it

Personally I find it funny to confuse facial recognition technology

Yep... I had a Scottish dementor doing that on FB the other day. Now again, today, they are wanting to put banners over the Welcome to Scotland signs, reading 'Scotland is closed, fuck off'

Mascotte · 13/05/2020 21:36

@PinkSparklyPussyCat hope you're ok

LilacTree1 · 13/05/2020 21:36

Very sorry to hear about National Trust for Scotland

I fear for a lot of these organisations

I don’t go around much, but before my job went, I had planned some summertime touring around places that will likely close forever now. And be turned into flats. Fucking hell.

freedomyes · 13/05/2020 21:37

Hi! back from my beach walk! I actually drove a bit further than 1 hour in the end....1hr 40!

A glorious 7-8 mile walk, no tuts from the very few folk about. Just evryone smiling and looking happy! Holkam beach Norfolk is lush. flask of tea, sarnies......

Mascotte · 13/05/2020 21:38

@thenightsky and @TinFoodRusty I'd suggest they just play the poem video in the border

justasking111 · 13/05/2020 21:39

The scottish tourism chief is blowing smoke, he says scotland closed in the summer. All this when the national trust there says it is on its knees. Visit Scotland director Riddell Graham says too many vulnerable in parts of Scotland.

Blackpool doesn`t want us (have to admit would not be my first choice on a day out anyway)

justasking111 · 13/05/2020 21:40

The good news is Wales have contradicted themselves so many times over golf/fishing whether to drive or walk there, when to open up, they have thrown in the towel and you can drive to the golf course, you can put your fishing gear in the car and drive there. My OH will be off fishing tomorrow Grin

Mascotte · 13/05/2020 21:41

@justasking111 what is he thinking? The country will be fucked

freedomyes · 13/05/2020 21:41

I feel a chips by a beach coming on for me and ds.....

freedomyes · 13/05/2020 21:42

poor seagulls must be wondering where we all are

justasking111 · 13/05/2020 21:47

Those bloody seagulls have taken up residence on our side of the river, stealing bird food, crapping and bonking on the conservatory roof, jakers the noise. they tap dance whilst mating. Be glad when Greggs, subway and the chippies are open again and they bugger off.
