...... and how can it be enforced? Do we have to carry our birth certificates with us? If it’s a question of relying on people to be sensible, some will, some won’t.

I did an online test of ‘guess your age’ yesterday and I came out as 16. Mental age probably!

It’s not for drinking. It’s to sanitise his hands.

It’s norovirus which requires toilet rolls! I wash my hands whilst humming the Dead March from Saul. It takes longer than ‘happy birthday’

I’ve just read that the French are going ahead with local elections this weekend subject to the proviso ‘bring your own pen’ !

Our village main st. is clogged up with parents’ cars at delivery and collection times. There is a school bus from the outlying villages but in most cases people live within a reasonable walking distance but are just too idle to walk. I used to walk or cycle about a mile to primary school when I was a kid, except on some Thursdays when my cousin collected me on a pony!

The demands of the trade unions pushed up labour costs. That was fair enough as they were doing their best for their members. However the Chinese could make the same products for lower costs so it became cheaper to import. How do you shop? If it’s for a similar product you go to the cheapest supplier (unless you’re a Waitrose customer!)

All these things are sent to test our faith.

The Cyclemotor certainly caused the rear tyre to wear rapidly. I think it was a beefed up tyre. I well remember seeing both up close.

Cyclemaster was in the rear wheel and Cyclemotor was the mounted power pack. I’ve Googled it!

There was one where the two stroke motor was part of the rear wheel and one, which was a power pack behind the driver, where a roller rested on the rear wheel. I believe one was called the ‘Cyclemaster’.

If it was ‘divine intervention’ to sort out this overpopulated Earth the disease would be targeted at the young and not the the elderly and infirm - so I think we can rule that out.

That’s the top suggestion in this house! We’ve had local flooding and now we’re just awaiting a plague of locusts.

We’ve had statesmanlike bluster from Boris, informed scientific opinion from the chief scientist and the chief medical officer. All we want now is some mumbo jumbo from the Archbishop of Canterbury to complete the trilogy.

I've not been in for some time. The cost of parking is a disincentive. All the major shops there sell online so why should I pay travel costs to go there and mix with the great unwashed?

Reading that just shows me how much of the French language I've forgotten. My passport's expired. I don't think I'll bother to renew it, there's lots of the UK I still haven't visited.

I think Lamcote were based in Radcliffe on Trent.

I went into the chemist’s and said ‘a packet of contraceptives please Miss’. She haughtily replied ‘don’t you “Miss” me!’ ‘O.K, make it two packets then’ I said.

That’s just too cheap. 35 mile round trip for me.

Decent hairdressing is a skilful art. I no longer bother about my appearance as I don’t have to impress anyone so I have the Boris Johnson cut. This doesn’t even require a comb!

I think £7.50 for a haircut is very cheap. I pay £12.00 and I give him a tip. There’s no published prices. I think he charges what he thinks you can afford!

A help group is starting up in our village. There are a lot of volunteers already and I see that at least three are/were senior nurses. Good to see the wartime community spirit being revived!
