Yes. Was she the only one in the shop buying non essentials along with her essentials? Obviously not. But THE MANAGER of all people decides to home in on this one customer and basically offer her outside.
Nah.
But SOLIDIFIED GRUEL MERCHANT of all people decides to make up some details and basically make it implausible.
Nah.

New page, new gripe.

Maybe the ranting shop man is having a breakdown himself? I'm going to cut him some slack here.

what if the world is just a simulation like the matrix and if you arent looking at something it isnt there ahhhh makes you think.

Pseudopath

That private clinic in London charging people £375 for a Covid-19 test that's not actually been proven to be clinically-accurate must be up there somewhere. Then again, if there are enough gullible rich cunts to pay for it, who can blame him?

CAPITALISM

chveik

why would sirhenry lie? is covid making people thicker?

I thought Captain Z was joking.  Were you joking Captain Z?  Otherwise, as chveik says, it really is a bit mad.

Anyone that voted Tory that's participating in this hideous #clapforcarers conformity claptrap this evening.

On an average night from July to September in 2010, there were c. 141,500 beds across the English NHS. During the same period last year there were c. 129,500: a fall of about 12,000.
So we'd need to open another two of those massive temporary #NHSNightingale hospitals just to make up for the Torys' cuts. But go on, clap. Clap. CLAP FOUR ARE BRVAE NHS WERKORS. That'll make everything OK.

I don't know if I have a legal right to refuse this.

If there's nothing in the contract then you don't have to. But you might piss the landlord off and they'll try and take revenge.

My mistake. You've already agreed to leave which means they can show somebody around.

If you hate your landlord then this is a good chance to make the prospective new tenant run away.

Buelligan

I'm not entirely sure about that DM.  Isn't a tenancy agreement a private contract (enforceable by law but also subject to it)?  Surely, any agreement in such a contract would be overridden by government legislation requiring people to remain at home unless leaving for essential reasons?  Not sure viewing a potential flat would come under that.  Obvs, I don't know but it doesn't seem reasonable to me.

Danger Man

I was thinking about the rules in normal times.

Not sure how it works at the moment.

She could probably tell him to self-isolate somewhere else (or go out for some 'exercise') while they inspected the property but that would take her to next level cuntiness.

Depends on the exact nature of his tenancy.

Genuinely wondering what either of you were thinking.

"THIS IS SERIOUS AND NEEDS CONTAINING AND THE GOVERNMENT'S RESPONSE WILL BE WOEFUL" I thought as I panic-bought bog roll a few weeks ago.

I wasn't joking, because the alternative of accepting that reality made me quite angry. For the record I do now believe it. But it absolutely boggles my mind for numerous reasons that I don't have to list. Hell, I was out buying biscuits myself yesterday lunchtime, as were the two other people I encountered along that aisle. I hope you are following it up with at least a phonecall to the store/head office or a good old social media shaming.

My landlord, who has decided now is a good time to demand extra money from me (for underpayment of bills last year, apparently), and who today informed me that she wants to bring someone round for a viewing of my flat. I gave my notice 2 months ago, before this all kicked off, and am moving end of April. I'm not at all comfortable about strangers being brought into my home, for obvious reasons, but I don't know if I have a legal right to refuse this. Anyway, a landlord being an utter cunt - who'd have thought it?

I saw this and thought of you.

I sold my house 2 weeks before this all kicked off, but have yet to find one in Scotland so I'll just have to bloody stay here then

I'm going to the shop today, will attempt to buy biscuits and report back my findings.

Gurke and Hare

I nominate the gammon prick in Lewisham Marks & Spencer just now, wandering round complaining about people avoiding him (I'm surprised you can see any difference mate) and then asking the black woman on the till how long she's been in this country, as a prelude to lecturing her about how if she'd been in the country long she'd know that 30,000 people a year die of flu. The police are cunts, but if one had been there then and given him a good kicking I'd have bought two tickets to their ball on the spot.

This fucker definitely wins (loses?). That's truly disgusting.

Thanks, Buelligan. I've been trying to find out what my legal rights are at the moment - spoke to a colleague's lawyer sister about this. Apparently there's not much I can do from a legal perspective, other than point out the stupidity of putting people at risk for the sake of a flat viewing and insisting, should they want to go ahead with it, on all participants strictly observing all possible hygiene-related precautions, maintaining distance from one another, not touching anything in the flat, etc.

I've since written to the landlady politely reminding her that we are in the middle of a pandemic and that the government advice is to stay at home and keep social contact only to that which is absolutely necessary. I've also offered to make a video-viewing of the flat which she can send to the interested party, in lieu of an in-person viewing. I'll see what she says, but I don't expect her to budge.

And Danger Man - you wrote: 'She could probably tell him to self-isolate somewhere else (or go out for some 'exercise') while they inspected the property but that would take her to next level cuntiness.'

She's already done that - clearly going for maximum gold-star cuntiness.

And by the way, she and her family own the whole building I live in, not just the flat, as well as a number of other buildings in the city, all of which they rent out as flats/office spaces. So it's not as if they'd be plunged into crisis if they had to wait a little longer to find a new tenant.

I dunno, I get like that sometimes. Knowing full well that their basic loo roll will rip my anus to ribbons should my IBS flare up, but not sure whether I want to chance my arm to find something nicer at another shop.

Trump earlier talking about governors requesting assistance: "If they don't treat you right, I don't call". They haven't sucked up to him enough, so fuck 'em. Still far and away the biggest wanker of the pandemic, and possibly planet. #fourmoreyears
