MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I agree but to use Cougar’s example, shop bought jammie dodgers are simply not an option an the moment, so you can have home made ones, some other shop bought confection or find something else that will paper over the cracks until it is safe to fully scratch the itch and have shop bought jammie dodgers.
Trouble is, no one actually has the minerals to stand up and say that there are things which are absolutely off the menu for the time being. Instead giving wishy washy ‘advice’
I do remember there was a politician somewhere that did, in the original wave, say I don’t know how else to say it so people understand. Stay the &#$@ home.
To clarify, I'm not suggesting that everyone should ram raid the local supermarket for deliciously crunchy shortbread, lovingly sandwiched together with a moreish jam adhesive. Just that we should appreciate the difficulty involved for eGETMESOME*******BISCUITSNOWveryone.
It’s like being asked if you want a biscuit with your brew, you get all excited at the prospect of a Jammie Dodger and then you’re presented with a plate of Custard Creams.
I would totally take custard creams over Jamie dodgers. However those Jamie dodger style biscuits that have both jam and cream in them might trump both.

+1
Not had one for years!
You two are both going on the list.

The ones with the Happy face on them? Haven't had those in ages, I used to love those. I want some now.
Nah, he's on about Peek Freans.
Double checked with the kids - Nottinghamshire (son and a mates teacher wife) seem to be on compulsory masks in lessons, Derbyshire (daughter) masks are optional in lessons.
Oh, those. Yeah the Jacobs Happy Faces ones are better. More Jam. The peek freans you have to eat 90% of the cream and shortcake before you get to the jam.
... only to find the jam was shit.
Well, I thought the koolaid diversion was bad.... but this latest tangent is much more unsavory
In international lockdown news:
South Australia (a state of about 1.7 million people, and about 4x the size of the UK) have gone into a short, sharp "circuit breaker" lockdown after infections from a particular cluster have reached 22 people, with a further 7 suspected.
Lockdown is for 6 days from midnight tonight. It's a proper lockdown too: everything is shut, schools, universities, shops (except food) pubs, cafes.... the lot. Only one person per household is allowed outside per day apparently, with exercise outside not a permitted activity. All weddings and funerals cancelled. Lots of exceptions re: agriculture and aged care.
Most interestingly, they are reporting that this seems to be a particularly "sneaky" strain of the virus:
The Chief Public Health Officer Nicola Spurrier says the particular strain of the virus is breeding “very, very rapidly” with a short incubation period of about 24 hours, and with infected people showing only minimal symptoms.
The sentiment seems to be: "we saw what happened in Victoria" and they are doing this now to try to avoid a longer shutdown in the future.
Australia, so the bottle-shops are being stripped bare as we speak
