Who's going to pick the fruit and veg?

Fruit and veg ‘will run out’ unless Britain charters planes to fly in farm workers from eastern Europe

UK urgently needs to fill 90,000 positions to pick crops that will otherwise die in the fields, warns charity

Another bright spark idea ! The UK is on lockdown and some twonks want to bring in 90,000 extra people who of course will all be needing to be health cleared and sign their name on a scrap of paper to all go home again once the work is done

Exactly! Who the hell would want to come and do that!

It'll rot. Al will be fuming.

What lockdown? Far too many people are out walking and cycling. Time to kill the need to exercise exemption.

That wouldn't be because you are a natural couch potato Hants, would it?
On the other hand medics are saying STAY FIT AND HEALTHY to help your immune system fight infections. I run every day, around 4 or 5 miles across fields and along deserted lanes. Exercise is absolutely vital.

I'm getting my 10,000 steps in each day, and I'm not doing any exercise. Just working. Apparently I'm a key worker.

Chasing Teaser May through the fields of wheat then is it Geoff ?

Is that because of sell by dating ?

I'm reminded of the time The Upstart visited an all-night garage and was refused a sandwich as it "had gone out of date". It was a couple of minutes after midnight.

It's difficult to stay fit and healthy when you can't really do a 'proper' shop and get all you need. Plus the temptation to just get smashed of an evening is always there given there's sod all to look forward to during the day. It's a state of mind I guess and I tell myself that there are key workers out there at the moment who would love to be able to do nothing and get drunk and this makes me feel guilty enough to try .
