'I'm a key worker' is the most overused phrase atm

[Imakeyworker]

Like a badge of honour. I heard one woman say it to 3 different people in a shop yesterday.

Technically I am a key worker.

Should I be letting everyone know about it?

Lemonblast...your continued responses have been terrible to me. I suggest you look at your own behaviour before complaining about others. You've said some terrible uncalled for stuff on here with no good reason. You are nothing but a bully.

😂😂 Ok.

I thought I was the only one who at this phrase!
Also, pretty much every profession, mine included, comes under the umbrella of key work!
I was never a positive Penny but I've definitely become a cynical Cynthia since this began!

Your first uncalled for post to me said I was a nark with too much time on my hands and a chip on my shoulder. You still havent explained why you think that. You seem to go round mumsnet threads picking on people for no good reason and joining up with other people, to bully.

right, I'm brewing up.
Who wants one?

Anybody arguing with each other will not be allowed a Jaffa Cake, so think on...

Yep. Lots of posts on the Facebook community pages basically asking for freebies because they’re key workers.

‘My car broke down & I am a key worker so need to get to work. Does anyone know some where open?’ hint hint do it for free, I’m an essential hero.’

Even saw someone ask if someone could come and cut her grass for free, she doesn’t have time because she’s a KEY WORKER don’t you know?

Vertical got any swiss roll?

ok ok, Jaffa Cakes and a slice of Swiss Roll... (it'll keep her mouth shut for 30 seconds!)

Kettle's on.

I'm all out of Bakewell Tart... it's mysteriously vanished licks lips

@TabbyMumz are you going to have a valium with your brew?
@10storeylovesong will you please put the knife down while you're eating?
@Lemonblast are you going to behave yourself with the others, if not the Swiss roll?

Actually if it’s the lemon one from M&S I’ll pass.,That buttercream is yucky. Makes me a right nark 🤪

@VerticalHorizon...... love it.

I’ll have a coffee (and a triple pack of jaffacakes) once I come back from shutting the gate at the arseybastart field.

Hold on... I mention a brew, and folks just turn up out of nowhere... STAND BACK!!!!

+gets tape measure out+

I've decided LemonBlast is picky... she'll moan about the coffee soon (after she's downed it)

I've done 6 coffees... fight amongst yourselves for them (while I surreptitiously polish off the Swiss Roll.

• Shoves a Jaffa Cake in Lemon's gob before she can protest her innocence +

Vertical yeah before I whoop yer ass with my pithy comebacks.
They better not be those fucking rancid lime ones.

lolololol

You have taste, I'll give you that. It's orange or nothing.

I'd be intimidated by the threat of your pithy comebacks if it wasn't for the chocolate smear on the corner of your mouth!

Mummy Was that a genuine post?!

The rest have gone quiet... scoffing cake I think

I guessed Mummy's post was a slight windup.

Face it Vertical. You killed the thread.

And to think... I made 'em a brew too!

RIP

Yeah if you hadn’t stuck yer nose in I reckon we coulda rumbled on for another 2 pages 🥳

Another two rounds more like!

I'm a key worker. But I can also work from home. So I don't tell people.

No need to say 'but' or 'can also'. If you're key, you're key. How or where you do your job isn't important, only that you're doing it and it's making a difference.

You could be dialling in from a beach in the Bahamas but if the decisions you make, the assistance you provide etc contribute to saving lives, that that's all that matters.
