It's been five years since the pandemic and I have questions

[BaggyTrousing]

• will Paddington ever be investigated for his role in the departure of our dear old queen?
• was the woman who wrote "and the people stayed home" ever taken to task for her contribution to the awfulness?
• what about that nurse who was roaring about bread in a supermarket car park? Hopefully shunned and avoided at least
• how do you all feel now about protecting the NHS?

Your man who wrote that 'Hindsight's 2020' poem. How was he punished, do we know?

Hopefully Paddington ate him.

• did we ever figure out what a "key worker" was, or wasn't?
• was the whole thing set up by the executive producers of Tiger King?

Or was it a conspiracy between the makers of Tiger King and loo roll?

I'd buy Tiger King Loo Roll

I think I managed to miss this, I hardly dare google…

did we ever figure out what a "key worker" was, or wasn't?

A Locksmith I believe?

I'm afraid that ship has sailed.

He is getting married apparently, to a young 'crim' . Maybe Tiger King confetti? Made from loo roll?

Obviously the big question is still.

Is a scotch egg substantial?

There are still 2 metre paint markings all over my local Tesco car park and entrance lobby, a bit faded in places but still very visible

#desperate

Is a drive to Barnard castle the best way to test your eyesight?

did anyone ever put cheese in their tea, as advised on here (because milk is NOT an essential item, apparently....)

Omg the scotch egg. I had forgotten all about that.

Obviously a scotch egg is a substantial meal for a coke head like Michael gove. It probably keeps him going all week, the daft sod.

Ha ha ha I remember that. This place was batshit crazy some days during the pandemic. The thread where some people were sanitising their shopping was wild 😂

Paddington is the Grim Reaper, it's the only explanation (picture from Jim'll Paint it)

I love when doom scrolling and creeping on someone's Facebook and you end up on posts from that time. The hysteria around banging pans on a Thursday night and confronting people walking the wrong way around Tesco.

The way people pronounced Barnard when that came out set my teeth on edge, think I’ve got actual PTSD.

The one-way system and the utter shame when you realised you'd forgotten something wine

The 'essential items' rationing again, wine

The shame of not banging your pans because you were drinking wine

It was a time, wasn't it?

I hated it. And I hated the way people behaved. It made me see how all the atrocities in history happened. Complete hysteria

People calling the police because Betty next door was heading out at 6.15pm when she'd already been spotted leaving her house earlier that morning.

Oh God, the shame 😱😱 Betty was so selfish.

Brace yourself. I missed this too. Cannot believe I found it on a primary school website!

That Joe Wicks did suspiciously well out of the pandemic, didn't he?

Just sayin'...............

• will Paddington ever be investigated for his role in the departure of our dear old queen? - no, he got away with it through sheer bear faced cheek,
• was the woman who wrote "and the people stayed home" ever taken to task for her contribution to the awfulness? - I hadn't come across that so will take the OP to task for mentioning it. Google tells me it was written in 1869 so no, the author also escaped a fate worse of being castigated by MN than death by, er, being dead.

• ...totally

• how do you all feel now about protecting the NHS? - lingering nostalgia for when it was the other way round.
