there are millions of people out there who are making hugh sacrifices and doing the right thing. Strange, nobody seems to talk about them.

That's because they are not newsworthy.

In fairness the majority were acknowledged at this week's press conferences

Which is why we should treat everything on the news, except the football results, with a pinch of salt.

Why when someone is trying to do the right thing do the "do gooders" have to find problems?

I can see no problem with an employer requiring his employees to have a Covid jab where they are in a people facing situation. The employer has both a moral and legal obligation to protect his employees (for once H&S can be of benefit) and there are many jobs where it is a condition of employment that you have certain vaccinations.

A good start would be to make sure they are all wearing face masks first. And although I agree in principle that everyone should have the jab I can also see the legal argument side.

My advice to Mr Mullins would be to wait until his present contractors become eligible for the vacsine then rewrite their contracts.

Big man throwing his weight around springs to mind.

[Manoverboard]

I need an electrician but it can wait until we two have had the jab. After that we will have to take our chances because there's no way we can expect him to have the results of a test after every customer before he moves on to the next one.

You can have tradesmen visit for repairs now - no need to wait.

You do have to laugh

West Yorkshire police stopped a vehicle on the M62 travelling from Greater Manchester to pick up a takeaway.

The car was seen travelling at 90mph, despite recent heavy snowfall.

The three occupants were from three households and received fixed penalty notices, West Yorkshire Police said.

The driver was also fined for speeding, while the car - which had no tax - was seized, the force added.

Serves them right

Not harsh enough. They should have been made to strip down to their underwear and made to walk home.

[Happydays]

Well done

You're getting a bit soft in your old age letting them keep their underwear

Oh they’d be wearing a mask alright. The tee towel used to water board them.
