NOOOOO we love lockdowns. I loved my injury free lockdown life with working from home and furlough. Anytime I ventured outside I ensured I was wearing at least 3 masks and socially distanced at least 80 feet from any strangers (COVID carriers!!!) Lockdown now!

The persistent wives are ultimately to blame obviously. ( I've been asking you to do that for months now! ) 😂😂😂

These numbers are meaningless without reference points. What do the same admission category stats look like in previous years? I assume if the guardian published the article then they’ve gone up in lockdown, but don’t we deserve to get the whole picture?

🤣

This is why we do apprenticeships, took us years and a million nails to not hit our fingers and not leave 20 cent marks everywhere, I spent my early years putting Roofs over your children’s heads, building schools etc, something I am quietly very proud of.

sometimes I wonder if UK has any future at all…

And maybe fires! 🔥👩🏻‍🍳😃
