@Parm I love it when people jump on money making schemes!

 

[gordon stephenson]

I have seen adverts for those push/pull door handle opener, What do they do after each use, Doubt if its sanitised each time !!

The ones I've seen are made from copper which doesn't support life so germs / virus can't survive on it

@CompoSimmonite Which one did you buy?

well I had a fun day yesterday. 2 old folks who have lost the plot living in a big old property and crap wiring with a fault on. the outbuildings had locks on and they didn't know where the keys were so I cut the locks off . they were in the way all the time asking what I was doing even though I said keep a bit of distance . like talkin to a brick wall took 2and a half hours to find the fault . a wire to a socket buried in concrete for the last 40 years and decided to short out it took another half an hour to explain I wanted paying and they said what for I couldn't help it and said cos I normaly go do jobs for fun and free it just went over there heads .I got it in the end but was hard work talking to them

No, it really IS a planet. [some might need to think about that one! ]

If you told you all the amount of stuff people are trying to sell in the aid of helping out COVID you wouldn't believe me.

Most of it is utter garbage

An example, https://www.virustaticshield.com/

It looks good and sounds impressive, until you have a little dig around

@brightspark always fun.

Have just discovered our elderly ex neighbour, goes shopping, hands over his cheque book, they fill in the cheque, don't fill in the stub, doesn't know what's going on. How many cheques have gone?

Why doesn't he use his card?

I'm afraid you'd have 'accidentally' had the heel of my boot in your face if you'd done that to me....nemo impune lacessit.
