Slightly off topic, but if you order food delivery, is alcohol included? Here in Ontario, they relaxed the rules and are allowing restaurants to include wine/beer with an ordered meal. My daughter and son-in-law ordered from a local chippy and got their meal and two beers delivered.

Think it depends on the licence of wherever you're ordering from.

Not here in Ontario. Even licensed establishments are not allowed to deliver alcohol with food deliveries. So it seems OK in the UK... but for us it is something new. Thanks for the info.

I actually just said this to my husband describing an encounter with a friend while on my daily exercise...
'I bumped into him'
;D
In fact we automatically took up a 2m position & when joined by a 3rd person, without any pause in the conversation, did an almost choreographed move so we formed a perfect socially distanced triangle ;D
Pat

Short back and sides please.
Rishile
-
This topic has really got into my head....
Watching Emmerdale tonight, one character said 'I've rung round the campsites & they're all full' - I just burst out laughing, best bit of the programme ;D

Love the last one.

"How are you today?" When answering the door to cold callers etc.
-
This time I'd like it shorter and with a fringe, like (insert your favourite media person) has had theirs done.
-
"How was your date?"
"Great. We dined at the Thai restaurant"
"Are you seeing him again?"
"Yes, we're going to the cinema on Thursday."
The same people some time later ...
"How's your romance?"
"Good. He stayed at mine last weekend. We're going away next weekend."

Surprised everyone’s forgotten - “Get Brexit Done!”
-
Ray T reply #55. I never imagined I'd be nostalgic about that. Oh for the intricacies of customs unions, single markets, Norway/Canada/Switzerland options, meaningful votes &c.. Passport colour is irrelevant. ;D
-
Please can I have a time-warp back to before Brexit loomed? And stay there?

2012 would suit me. I'd go to 2000 A.D. I don't reckon much to the 21st century so far.

I hate the current trend of government by slogan. Come to think of it, I also detest the compulsion of people to say “merry christmas” to everyone they meet - irrespective of their religious tendencies - for several months of the year.
“Go to work on an egg!”
-
Wasn't that slogan devised by the writer Fay Wheldon, when she worked in an Ad Agency?
-
From the grocery delivery man - "Shall I carry this through to the kitchen for you? "
-
Is there any discount for cash?
What day is it today. (Instant reply) Friday.

I was under the impression it had been!.

Is there any reason non-Christians cannot have a merry Christmas?. I was always under the impression it could and should be enjoyed by all. I can agree with the "too long bit" though.

But I don't need to wash my hands. They aren't dirty.

Sadly I have heard this. I've even heard "I don't stand for this handwashing claptrap, I've never bothered with hand washing before"

We're technically in the transition period so we have both left and not left the EU at the moment.

WE have Schrodinger's Brexit to accompany Schrodinger's virus. That is we must act as if we have the virus and try not to spread it to others while also acting as if we don't and we want to avoid them spreading it to us.

Sorry but you are wrong The UK left the EU at 11pm (GMT) on 31 January 2020.
The transition period is a period where the current rules on travel, trade and business continue to apply UK and the EU can trade with each other on the same terms as when the UK was an EU member. That is different from being a member state.

Yes, we left as in no longer have a seat at the table but are still subject to many EU regulations which after all was what many Brexiteers wanted therefore it cannot be said that Brexit is completely done.
-
@ Pharma, the EU negotiators are very experienced at it, whereas! ;D

"I'm sorry". (Said to me after I have trodden on someone's foot in a supermarket crush).

Or bumped into someone.
Are people still intent on looking at their phones while walking and not paying attention to who might be near them ?

That is more or less the same with all trading agreements they are all subject to meeting certain restrictions and are all subject to change.
Most such agreements are changed over the years, they always have been and always will be, having said that the current trade agreement between the UK and EU is more limited than most but that does not mean the UK has not left the EU or that brexit has not happened.
One of the major concerns today is how much of the EU will remain when the Covid-19 virus has been overcome?

You obviously weren't around our way on Sunday - ice cream van playing "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles" doing the rounds :o and seemed to be doing a roaring trade ::)
(NOT from us I hasten to add)

Yes, very true. They've practised "economy with the truth" for years, in fact, ever since the days of the Common Market when Edward Heath managed to get us into it, and have now become specialists at it.
I never agreed with much of what Tony Benn had to say but I did agree with his assessment of this organisation.

As a redundant fly-fisherman - "Anything doin'?". Or "Anything moving?." Or any number of piscatorial phrases.
