You're not on your own Jock, believe me. To be honest, I'm not really interested in much in modern times so long as the pensions continue to be paid into our bank.
p.s. Our children have (thankfully) given up on us.

Dornoch is very beautiful, I only hope this does not become known to the "undesirable ones".I was going to mention Dornoch too
We stayed up there @15 years ago..
Walking on the beaches in the half.light approaching midnight
Only 'dark' for a few hours..
Lovely trip
I do wonder how all the 'tourist' facilities are being run..
Months with no trade.. then big restrictions on their opening
Im sure prices will soon rocket to compensate
Some of the young team up and down the country are still taking part in illegal get togethers/drinking parties what have you, some are high numbers,putting Others at risk. If it was the other way round that the young team were more at risk and we oldies were immune, I would 100% see every parent, oldies doing every thing in their power to lessen the effect of this virus, including no get togethers in high numbers.

Don't worry POCodger! 1944 is fairly new after all.
I recently said "cottage", referring to an actual cottage of course, in front of my 40yr. old kids and they both sniggered for some unknown reason.
It is hard to keep up!
I am old enough to remember when "Gay" just meant cheerful and high-spirited, but I admit that it is a much nicer term than the ones that were common back in the olden days.
I remember being mystified why it was such a big deal when an MP was caught with a rent boy. I thought that was somebody who collected the rent.
Simpler times.

there is a store that sells nothing but gay and proud clothes and straight people have no idea what they are buying.
I was at school with a lad whose surname was Gay. I wonder if later generations have changed that.
In Swindon there's an estate road called Gay's Place. (The position of the apostrophe is important, I think) I taught a lad to drive who lived there, but despite having lived there all his life (17 years), he had no idea of the history, or why it was called that. I would have thought that knowing the history would have helped defend against the inevitable mickey-taking.
Until recently there was also a block of flats, for older people, called George Gay Gardens. Presumably, George Gay was an important figure some time in Swindon's history, having a block of flats and a road named after him, but so far, Google fails to answer who he was, and I have not found a local with any knowledge of him.
I suppose these days, the term "gay abandon" now refers to a relationship break-up.
could have been a slave owner and people have since hid the history
That's a possibility, but I'm not aware of any slave history in Swindon. It was a tiny market town, mainly for pigs, (hence Swine Town, 'don' being town) until Brunel built his railway from London to Bristol, and chose to build his railway works half-way, which was at teh bottom of the hill below the old town. The town then spread to join up, and became an industrial town.
Swindon has been on the verge of covid lockdown apparently..
This 'watch list' also appears to include its 'distant' .. neighbour Oxford

Being half-way between them, perhaps I should keep my head down?
Amazing America has amounted to anything with citizens like this. So colossally stupid. They don’t even understand that American constitutional rights and freedoms are from government, and aimed at control of government oppression. They don’t affect what a private business on its own private property can demand of its guests. Perfectly OK for Walmart to make customers wear pants, not take a **** on the floor, not attack the other customers, and yes, wear a mask if they say so. If you don’t like it, go to another superstore. And dumb asses like the guy featured in the news story are usually the type to shout all sorts of nonsense about America being the enemy of socialism, and how socialism is evil, etc. Yet, for the government to force Walmart to let him parade around inside their store without a mask would require the very kind of socialist business control that his type rails against. Dumb dumb dumb all around. We deserve what we are getting here.
we have them here too but our Walmart staff refuse to confront them half of them dont wear either
They have the right to refuse to wear a mask. They have the right to become infected with a deadly disease.
They do not have the right to infect others without those others' express permission. Therefore, if they choose to not wear a mask, they may breath in, but not out, when around others. If they become infected, should any rights to free health care be reduced or revoked?

In Illinois (Democratic stronghold) its now a felony (a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year.) to assault any worker enforcing mask law. in the uk you will probably just get a caution.
