Our Latest Darkest Hour.
In this present worldwide anxious time that we are living in, it is nice to see that someone has a sense of humour by adjusting Winston Churchill's immortal words to make a useful point. As seen written in large print on the wall of a public convenience in Fort William.
"Never has so much hand washing been promoted for so many, by so few!"

This is copied from a landrover forum the latest offering from Mr Robert Burns.
TAE A VIRUS
Twa months ago, we didna ken,
yer name or ocht aboot ye
But lots of things have changed since then,
I really must salute ye
Yer spreading rate is quite intense,
yer feeding like a gannet
Disruption caused, is so immense,
ye’ve shaken oor wee planet.
Corona used tae be a beer,
they garnished it wae limes
But noo it’s filled us awe wae fear
These days are scary times.
Nae shakin hawns, or peckin lips,
it’s whit they awe advise
But scrub them weel, richt tae the tips,
that’s how we’ll awe survive
Just stay inside , the hoose, ye bide
Nae sneakin oot for strolls
Just check the lavvy every hoor
And stock-take your loo rolls
Our holidays have been pit aff
Noo that’s the Jet2 patter
Pit oan yer thermals, have a laugh
And paddle ‘ doon the waater ‘
Canary isles, no for a while
Nae need for suntan cream
And awe because o this wee bug
We ken tae be..19
The boredom surely will set in,
But have a read, or doodle
Or plan yer menu for the month
Wi 95 pot noodles.
When these run oot, just look aboot
A change, it would be nice
We’ve beans and pasta by the ton
and twenty stane o rice.
Ye might be gallus noo ma freen
As ye jump fae cup tae cup
But when we get oor vaccine made
Yer number will be up
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give"
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill
