    Due to popular opinion (see the last few posts) can you please ditch that incredibly annoying sig gif.

    Cheers.

    People in Scotland are being told to "stay at home" for Halloween and not be "tempted" to hold Bonfire Night parties.

    Just judging by the amount of pumkins passing through the depot this week, i don't know what people are going to do with them all.

    I think we've become very American with Halloween now, probably not helped by the fact, that once Walmart took over ASDA many decades ago, they started moving all their merchandise into the stores.

    ASDA use to and probably still do, capture the lower cost of living families before Aldi and Lidl moved in on the market, and by doing so, were able to sell them all the cheap old tat that litters their stores.

    Even if kids can't go trick and treat, the parents will still carve out the pumpkins.

    Seriously this can't be true, can it? Can't get people to do the 14 days quarantine so we'll ask for 7 and that'll do, oh and business people don't have covid - I bet that's Dominics idea.

    The Aldi/Lidl story is a great success.

    Away from the supermarkets, a lot of places doing pick your own now, much more fun for the younger kids, give them a barrow or more so put them in one, then dump them in the middle of the field and do a runner. :bandit:

    Halloween did not exist as it does now when I was a kid ... nobody did trick or treat ... but tons did "Penny for the Guy" 5 days later. My late cousin, bless her, was born on 31st of October so whilst we had birthday parties for her, and called her a witch, there was nothing much in the shops in terms of Halloween merchandise ... both her dad and mine ran off licence / sweet and grocery shops from the mid 60s through to the mid 80s (my old girl kept ours going after the old man died in '79)...

    Can't be sure, but think it started to take off over here after the success of the first Halloween film.

    Is it right that they are only stopping care home workers working in multiple care homes, only NOW?!

    How could this only happen now and not have been immediately sorted in March?!?!?!?!?!?

    Our national handling of the care home situation during this pandemic has to border on criminal negligence ...

    I agree, except on "bordering"

    The has been a largely under reported scandal with the care homes in the UK for a decade..
    They paid people less than min wage somehow, how dafuq they get away with that.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-31258205

    They replaced so many staff with operators who sit watching a bunch of cameras and monitoring equipment alerts (thats how you manage ****ing servers and networks, not the vulnerable sick people) and reduced actual staff by a ton.
    When you work all your life and get to the end, if your pension doesn't cover it, you are seen in the stats as a useless cost. That's where we are in almost every country around the world. (Guardianistas and the like are especially are cold when it comes to the old, remember all of the "dying brexit leave voters" bile)



    This IMO financial reasoning was a cold calculated financial decision (no working in multiple homes means you need more onsite staff), criminal negligence but don't hold your breath waiting for people to get nailed, the successive governments allowed it to get to this point, and when biz and gov are jointly accountable, you know no one's doing bird or taking a big hit.

    So it’s Guardian readers who are currently taking about the average age of COVID death patients being around 80 & it’s them who are openly saying that we can’t have the fit and able inconvenienced by the death of all these oldies, let alone the commercial landlords losing their revenue and seeing their assets devalued, won’t somebody think about them!

    It’s rhetorical btw, as the answer is - no it ****ing isn’t.

    Also, I don’t remember that ‘bile’ either btw, all I remember was the fact that the Brexit majority had literally died before it became an actual thing being pointed out.

    To be blunt the British electorate will , up to now at least , not vote for any party which suggests improving the care sector as it requires them to pay one way or another for those improvements . In fact there is a whole industry based on ensuring you don't have to pay for your own care / nursing home fees .
