But a month, being a greater period than a week, tends to flatten out statistical anomalies rather than exaggerating them.
many things need to be taken into account when trying to deduce facts from statistics Which points to the fact that we can't believe any of the statistics given out by 'governments' concerning the coronavirus / Covid-19. Some people say hospitals are full of people dying of Covid-19. Nurses who work in hospitals tell us they're empty, they're bored because they have nothing to do. The hastily erected 'Nightingale' hospitals have remained empty. Some people say nurses don't smoke. Yet, I have seen 'em puffin' away like there's no tomorrow. Who knows what to believe?

Was it the tie dyed jeans pandemic ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_in_the_United_Kingdom The Waterside Inn at Bray, Berkshire, founded by the brothers Michel and Albert Roux, becomes the first establishment in the UK to be awarded three Michelin Guide stars, a distinction which it retains for at least twenty-five years.

"As of 6pm on Friday, entering or leaving Scotland without a reasonable excuse is banned and anyone caught doing so could be slapped with a £60 fine." "People living within Level Three or Level Four lockdown areas - which includes vast swathes of central Scotland - are also not permitted to leave their area." "But you can fly into Scotland from anywhere around the world You could not make this up!" "How will the vans stuffed full of money from English taxpayers get through?"

Back to "Christmas" - I'll share some good news here... despite not really liking xmas at all, Financial necessity dictated the need for a couple of festive trips. I put 2 trips on the website the other day (just 3 nights) and the 2nd (over 24th - 27th) was snapped up within hours so it appears "Ellis" will be doing Xmas lunch at Pennington flash... AND even if restrictions are not lifted, given the guest coming is our bubble (we never bubbled with anyone and she saved hers for us and her 70th birthday trip earlier in the year) we'll do it anyway.
ho ho ho!

Then it would be a real Christmas Two foot of snow country wide on the day they release us from lockdown for Christmas lasting until January would be great. It would stop all the numptys socialising and spreading covid 😷
