[NB - Lighthearted . . .]

Is it just me, or did anyone else find this visual on the BBC website a bit weird?

sweet I’ll experiment this morning. This queue (when I join it) will be my social high spot of the year at this rate ! So much planning.

OnlyTeaForMe · 15/01/2021 12:47

We must all practice the "Covid Vax Stride" too - walking whilst swinging arms (and somehow not colliding with stationery folk in front of you? Confused)

There’s pretty good posture though (despite those arms or maybe because of them?). I may look into a quick home online course of Pilates or Alexander technique before my call up papers arrive.

I'm the one at the front of the 60-64 queue, but I need to practice putting my lockdown locks into a high ponytail.

OnlyTeaForMe · 15/01/2021 15:43

I'm in the middle of the 55-59 group (just underneath the label).

Here I am ready to present my upper arm:

@OnlyTeaForMe
Such a sexy pose....but I'm sorry to inform you that the top that you've chosen isn't orange enough...try again

Sweetpea1532 · 15/01/2021 21:02

@HeronLanyon
Yes, it will be quite a social affair for us all...definitely must include those tendrils as they dress up any hairdo

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE

I think they LISTENED to us! See the latest BBC visual journalism about getting vaccinated - skirts and the disabled (including dogs!) now included!
Yay! The power of Mumsnet Grin.

Your legs have to be straight because if they weren't they wouldn't be able to get the 7G phone signal into them properly. The signal would be wonky

Hahahalol! Thanks for pointing out the new graphic...I love it...power of mumsnet, indeedGrin
I'd forgotten all about OP's hilarious thread.
Has anyone gotten their jab? Did you wear trousers and an orange top?

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 11/02/2021 03:31

I was about too say it's a bit bloody cold for a skirt, then realised that lots of people had short sleeved T-shirts.

The new trend for orange trousers had passed me by.

OnlyTeaForMe · 11/02/2021 13:39

Ha ha! I've only just seen this - excellent news!
Glad to have been on service on the feedback front Grin

Very sensible if you're getting a jab in the arm. However, in this weather they should all be carrying warm coats.
