Christmas is always a nuisance but the girls seem to like getting Kinder Surprise eggs wrapped in silly packaging so I will not be changing my approach.
Trying to steer them away from worthless consumerism bollocks plus can't be arsed plus of course the shops are closed.

I was merely seeking to remind everyone that it is not essential to insult and abuse others simply because we don't agree. Far from being antagonistic my intention was to try and be conciliatory. I read this thread and commented because it's part of a discussion forum and we're all free to join in as we wish ... I wished to remind everyone it's christmas in tier 4 or not. Rog I canβt speak for the others obviously, but I donβt need any of your reminders thank you............... Mr forum policeman.

Going back to the OP by @froggy.
During the original Mk1 lockdown there was quite a funny dichotomy or whatever it is when you get two opposing instructions..
On the one hand people were being requested not to use towpaths due to social distancing and other other hand they are being encouraged to use towpaths for wellbeing purposes.
I just hope someone somewhere got the signage and put it in a dry box for later because it really was good for a giggle.
Obviously now with the Mk3 lockdown nobody will take any notice of anything but the original one was a golden moment in the history of the world and any physical reminders of it will end up being valuable traded commodities.

I had to do some shopping today, the towpath, roads and town were surprisingly quiet. I think people have finally grasped that if unchecked, COVID will quite possibly devastate humanity.

I have read and re-read that exchange and I cannot see what the hell you are upset about. bedruthan copied a twitter post from someone who is of interest to many on thie site without any comment at all about it's content. You complained that he didn't include the comments ..... so what ? the comments of her twitterati are of little to no interest to most on here.
anyway bedruthan gave a perfectly reasonable reply with the reason. and you claimed he was having a dig at someone who can't answer back ........ answer back to what ? He only posted her words verbatim without any comment. were you just offended because you were among the twitterati cooing over her post and didn't get a mention ?
It believe it was done to try and belittle her, not a good thing to do. My first reply was making fun, the later posts were not. In case you don't know, I have known D for over 20 years, well before she started work at BW. I don't often say much but felt the post from the twunt was completely unnecessary and was posted just to have a dig hence I replied as I did. but he didn't did he.
your first post may have been in "fun" but it asked a straight question ...... and it got a straight and reasonable reply.
You were the first one to start getting rude. Just because you believe he was trying to belittle her by quoting her without alteration, without changing context, and completely without comment ?
Friend of yours or not, your starting a spat over the perfectly reasonable copying of a post made on the internet was pathetic.
If it had been followed by unpleasant commenting then stepping in would be reasonable.
otherwise ...... I'll let you decide what I think about it ...... you seem to be good at reading minds

It's obviously an easy and comfortable perspective from one living in an ivory tower in Tier 1 with a boat he loves to visit as and when he chooses as we now know he has "friends in high places".
