    It seems that the opinion is that I am being too pessimistic, perhaps I have underestimated the  stupidity of the average Joe who comes here, some of the questions I have seen recently leave me in despair.

    Neil, I do not gamble, I gave up when I lost $5.00 on the slots at Lake Tahoe in the 70s.

    $5 was a fortune in the 70s. ;)

    Well young man,  with your Gin and Rose ...... the virus won't stand a chance B)
    What's going on with supermarkets right now is shameful and for people like Misty, it must so difficult
    I've never been one to mix with crowds of people and right now, sunday lunch at a pub is a no go. Shame
    Some of you might have noticed that my passion is fly fishing for trout and the lakes I go to are in the middle of nowhere in fresh air. It means that I can catch and eat fresh fish, I mean trout in supermarkets are probably months old.   
    Plod on peeps, one day soon we may be able to buy a loaf of  bread

    PS:   Anyone noticed the lack of birds flying around ????

    But to be expected surely.  Let us face it, many of our fellow countrymen are poorly educated, entitled, overweight, under-achievers, living from one pay cheque to the next.  They have £1,000 phones and designer trainers, but no savings.

    That is why the gig economy is so  rampant, our county courts stuffed with debt claims, business liquidating daily.  

    We too are getting out a lot, yesterday it was the canal st Sherfield Bottom, next walk will be at Ufton Nevert,  is that where you fish?

    One of the lakes I use is not far from Ufton Nevert, I also go to lakes near Andover, Manningford, and a few in Surrey .....

    Yeah, what's with that?  Maybe, like all animals, they know something we don't.
