This thread is bloody brilliant. I went to university in Yorkshire, and now live in the south. I miss Yorkshire and its people.

Give 'em time, Kurt - though it's lovely to see all this humour breaking out, and sadly the doomsters aren't noted for it

Yorkshire variant of Covid-19 could be 'more transmissible' as Jenny Harries confirms it has already spread across the globe
PHE explained it had been monitoring the variant, which is classed one step below the Indian variant which is a Variant of Concern, since April and that the variant is “from a lineage which was designated a signal in monitoring on May 6, 2021 based on an unusual mutation profile
Now Dr Jenny Harries, the chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency, has given an update about the variant on the BBC's Andrew Marr Show this morning (Sunday).

Today the Long Covid has meant I have just had enough energy to shower and cook scrambled eggs. This thread has made me hoot with laughter. Thank you all!

On a serious note - does anyone have recommendations for local companies that do deliveries of treats? Dd (Leeds) is self isolating on her own & feeling very fed up as she was due to go away with friends for a few days. Already planning a Betty’s order....
