The power of the Foulmouth Packet — hopefully something similar will trim the ambitions of Wetherspoons Tim Martin...

I hope Tim Martin is jailed, as he is now breaking the law.



Edited to add, I have just checked the nearest Wetherspoons to me is closed until further notice.

Good, but that will not stop the panic buying.

However people power has had a result locally:-

Hopefully, they'd not be replaced once you do — traffic cams show the A30 to be almost empty...

No chance, I would volunteer to summarily execute panic buyers though.

Surely, with your gentle phraseology, compassion, and ability to see all sides, this is the ideal time for you to set up as an online conciliator...

I am retired, I don't have a business and because I am over 70 Boris is about to imprison me in my own home for four months

That's it , the pubs are shutting now , this is getting serious .

No, it is a business opportunity.



You could open a speakeasy in your back garden.

Hang on the Welsh assembly arse holes just hiked up booze prices. Maybe time to start making a little moonshine ...

If it is over 70% alcohol it can be used as hand sanitiser.

Coming back to.the topic.....



The houses built 50 - 100 years ago had gardens big enough for such workshops. My last home had such but a combination of spiralling prices and government planning demands that estates be shoe boxes on top.of each other have destroyed all hope of this.



What possible sideline could a biochemist with side experience in microbiology get done in his back garden anyway....



EDIT

Sorry Pappy, but the call has gone out and you have been found wanting.

You are extremely offensive an also lying about me. (It isn't just the old dying it could be you next.)

What a VERY nasty personal attack full of lies.

So you are no use, just the sort of pro bourgeois fat cat who will always be somewhere else when his class brothers and sisters are in need. Well sod it, you will just have to starve. Our priority will be to build the New World Order, not more DHS departments for you to sponge off.

Have you been watch the news at all, you do understand what isolate mean? (Even the postman has been instructed to drop parcels outside and not to hand them to people.)

I don't maintain my own motorcycles so why you think I could maintain anyone else's motorcycle is puzzling.

 I doubt that anyone cares if you are imprisoned in your own home or workshop, just get cracking on the motorbike repairs. I think that we had best recruit Sampanviking to look after the books and establish relations with all the hippy dippy freak communities in the West Country. They may not be much but someone has to raise the spuds and brew the ale.
