Whilst Plain Dumb and Dumber Stand Behind You
Standing in the queue to pay in a well known pharmacy this afternoon I practiced social distancing from the person in front of me.
Behind me were two ‘ladies’ discussing in loud voices their struggles to find hand sanitiser and essentials in anticipation of a lockdown announcement this evening.
SO, you could say that they were aware of the COVID-19 threat AND of the recommendations around social distancing.
BUT, they insisted on entering my personal space and breathing down my neck every time I moved forward.
Much too polite to make a scene I sucked it up and willed the queue to move as fast as fucking possible.

Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die."
