Covid?

Brexit?

Both?

I notice it’s taken McDonald’s to run out of milkshakes for it to actually cause people to lose their shit.

I read that 14,000 EU lorry drivers left jobs in the UK since brexit, and only 600 have returned.

Covid caused loss of tests to be cancelled.

 

Too busy working by day to fuck about going in to a town centre. Brilliant for retired folk with fuck all else to do.

As an aside I can’t believe folk off here don’t buy all veg from Bolton  or bury market. Much better produce and value. And locally produced in some cases.

I'm not travelling a 400 mile round trip for veg 🙂

usually, buy not always, we do use the local farm shop though - cheaper and better quality than the supermarkets generally

ssshh, don't tell them

Keep getting emails telling me we've no water either, jobs fucked from all sides.

Only thing keeping me going is knowing that in the near future I will be able to buy 2oz of Cola Cubes from the corner shop.

There’s a tidy filth on one of the stalls that I would love to insert my cornichon into. Just has that look about her that she wouldn’t waste a drop. Lovely

I use Paul's farm for the most part. Leyland way.

Ace, and do tremendous pies, and have a cheese part too.

Butcher's van outside too, and a fish van a couple of days a week.

I've suggested my lad gets a job at Paul's farm shop. Loaded with young girls, watched a few of em grow up a bit. Cracking norks abound.

It does sound a bit seedy and pervy doesn't it

Next years crop innit.

No cauliflowers in aldi

But loads of meat.

The germans are trying to give us diabetes as punishment for winning all the war

 

Cauliflowers were on the Super 6 aisle end the day before - I bought a load to make Cauli rice at 39P - great big pristine white heads as well, bargain

Cauliflower is so underrated 

Boil it, slice it up, pan of oil, black pepper salt, bit of balsamic vinegar, fry it with some paprika,  chilli. 
 

Fuck meat

Why any young lad wouldn't fancy a job there with so many lasses about I don't know. 

Just a couple of them carrying their veg about whilst the girls do service.

Some men prefer the company of men...

Give me jobs/careers where you're outnumbered by girls/women anyday.

Worked on sites, kitchens, warehouses etc. almost 100% male environments.

It's shit and turns one into a pervert in downtime.

If I had my time again I'd be a top-class woman's hairdresser...

Charging gullible sods like Crawley £600 for a perm and set and wall-to-wall f*nny on a daily basis, plus everyone presumes you're lavender so let's their guard down...

Only ever worked in a female dominated sector.

Its ace.

Because you share straighteners and bobbles?

I let Noggy straighten my naturally wavy (think James Coburn or Steve McQueen - the dead actor, not the alive director) hair once...

It was bizarre, didn't recognise myself.

When I was a greb and had long hair I hankered after long straight hair like Bill Steer or Jeff Hanneman, instead I had a wavy bushhead that I used about 500ml of conditioner on a week, it was down to my arse after a shower, it dried halfway up my back...

If modern straighteners had been around I'd have been well up for owning a pair...

Re: All-male work environments, present company excepted, I tend to have contempt for most blokes...

I eventually was taught to drive in the final stages by a woman (dunno, she was about sixty so never looked) after sacking about three blokes because they were edging me towards violence.

I used to have 2hr lessons with one bloke which consisted of me ferrying him around to various bookies and him nipping in.

The woman had a roomy Merc for her lessons, the blokes had little shitboxes.

Working with 99% women, they aren't half hardwork sometimes. The bitching and pettiness with some is a pain in the arse. Fellas just rip each other to shit and get on with it. I have to go to meetings with HR. 

UK supermarkets “ Please don’t panic buy everything will be ok if we just buy what we need”
