I had a chuckle at work today.  My colleague was talking on the phone to one of our Irish customers, she was telling him that she couldn't get any potatoes.  The Irishman's dry response was "Well, now you know how our lot felt back in the day"  ;D ;D

My husband was in the supermarket today for a few essentials. He was standing the required distance away from a gentleman when a female voice behind them asked "Well what do you want for your tea?" Without thinking my O/H replied "Food" The voice belonged to the gentleman's wife.

The three of them burst out laughing and exchanged a bit of banter.

It is still good to laugh and communicate,

Due to the current situation I have been given a link so I can watch the funeral service for my Aunt’s cremation on Monday. Only very close family members are allowed to attend and even this might be prevented if the situation changes over the weekend. The family were not allowed to have a church service either. It certainly brings home how we have had to adapt to a whole new world.

Looking for the dog joke (with neck cone). Saw it on Rootschat last night, NZ time, and now can’t find it and want to cheer up a friend. Can anyone help? Gladyseva

Today I was told a story of a woman who had the gall/cheek/nerve to take her excess panic-bought goods to the supermarket and ask for a refund because she didn't have enough room in her kitchen to store them.   :-X
I have no reason to doubt my source of this story.

  What has been baffling us is how they can afford all this extra stuff, never mind storing it!
