Keep this handy when listening to the daily reports on our country's, or countries', progress against "The Virus" - so true, it hurts!

@pgntwo I hope you weren't too shocked and disillusioned when you decoded the Boris-speak.

@pgntwo He is certainly unprecedented, and hopefully not to be repeated.

Disillusionment is rapidly becoming the new normal hereabouts, @xFiacre!

I would not have expected any less of the conniving, clown-mannered charlatan, actually.

I wonder just exactly what the real intent was for all this confinement ...... well, at least the pollution has been toned down, that is a plus at least.

Oh, wow! I've gotten letters with those phrases used by the city government here several times. When we first moved into our last house, over 22 years ago, our second water bill was over $500, up from $13, for a month. Then the next month it went back to $13. The city water department kept giving me the runaround until I finally threatened to sue the city over it! Right after that, I got a letter that sort of apologized for the inconvenience of a "mistaken" reading on the water meter. *shake my head*
