Oh yes, forgot. Community Covid-19 Testing starts in Chorley on Monday. The local Facebook page for the council has exploded with indignant outrage. Dickheads.

Often wonder about the council FB feed which keeps us well informed. Someone answers questions and responds to negative stuff on every subject. This can be anytime day or evening. I can only presume this is a full time job as the posting style and tone is always the same.
What on earth are they outraged about?

Hmmmmm.......got drenched walking back from the garage. Mrs P should show eternal gratitude by making tonight's tea.

Thought I'd have a hot shower, boiled eggs, toast, marmalade and coffee while reading the paper. Perfect! 🤗

Paperboy still hasn't been ☹ Does he want a Christmas bonus???
Maybe he's waiting on a lift from one of his parents......that's what they do around here when it's raining. :laugh:

Not much else on for today, a bit of catch up on The Crown and The Queen's gambit.

What on earth are they outraged about?
  • Asymptomatic people are not infectious
  • Test doesn't work
  • False negative means people forced to isolate for no reason
  • More tests means higher numbers therefore lockdown in January***
  • "Knock on my door and they'll be told where to shove it"
  • "Makes me sad how many people are falling for the lies to take your freedom away"
  • "They claim their educated...but their farkin common sense is lacking!" (Mrs Angry about tests - 11 words, 3 errors and she's complaining about a lack of education of those in favour!)
  • "You want to keep the rates up to force us to take the vaccine"
*** I do hope the lovely, but surprisingly foul mouthed, Kirsten will be staying home alone over Christmas :laugh:

I could go on, and on, and on and it's not even the council's decision! Is it any wonder Chorley is rising again?

My favourite from a man in favour of the tests:

"God there's some tin hats in here. I thought you were all bonkers because someone took your car park" (This is a reference to part of a central car park having a brand new cinema, bowling alley, retail built on part of the car park. Said car park was replaced by a brand new FREE multi-storey 200 yards away!!!!!

We have some extraordinarily stupid people in Chorley!!!!!

A lift? When my kids were young if it was raining I'd get asked to do it........on my own!

That could easily be misconstrued.

If a person was that way inclined.
