James Blonde Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 The worst bit is that you know any day now we're going to have the first confirmed case of Omicron on the island (although the probability is that it's already here) and we're going to see the usual doom and gloom mongers bursting into action once again demanding border closures, lockdowns and whatever else they've dreamt up. Inboxes of MHKs will be pinging to life and Facebook will once again be filled with their diatribe and scaremongering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sat in a fleece and it was freezing, I felt sorry the kids in their costumes that were pretty thin and if this is what is they are putting up with every day it is no wonder kids are coming home with colds etc. to be honest I am still pretty angry about it but not exactly much you can do about it. This is a joke though. Absolute lunacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A tale of how hard they had it - because for a few weeks they had to have the windows open. They will probably remember it as always being like that. My school used to get fumigated in the winter - or something like that. I wonder whether anyone else remembers that stuff. Probably some kind of awful chemical. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hissingsid Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I am not sure what the test was called, long time ago for me, but I know I had a letter saying I had not had it. And there is no need for WTF making snarky comments I am a poster of a certain age not a virologist 😁 be kind . 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
