Taddy, if you need that translating(which I doubt) then don’t come to me

beer goggles were like face muzzles. always refused to wear em just in case. rather be lonely sobering up on my own in my own pit.

It is two years today since more than 800 people coming into this county were transported to quarantine facilities for a two week quarantine.
Now that was a wise move….but then flights were landing…lots of them and there was not one check on where these incoming travellers had been, what their health status was and they were left to mingle among us.

How foolish was that move….which of the SAGE scientists thought that this was a bright move?

We will never know.
Like we will never know the data from the Pfizer vaccine (I use the term vaccine…though this jab does not conform to the medically accepted criteria of a vaccine) studies.
Why does Pfizer believe it necessary to hide this data for 75 years…..and that will mean that most of those who were given this jab will have left this planet……and cannot hold Pfizer to account.
Not that any litigation would be possible anyway seeing as the drug companies have been granted immunity from litigation.
These two things the beg the question….what is it that we are not allowed to know?

These two things do not inspire confidence in any jab…..and this has been administered at least three times in less than a year.
We are being told that this has reduced deaths from the virus….but we all know that figures have been fiddled with.

I see that you are fluent in ‘long bacon’ Taddy

This one you (WILL) have to explain to me Marge, Don't forget that I am only a Hillbilly from "UNCOTE", "long bacon" is not in my vocabulary.

You must be using a different dialect to the mine, I thought Long bacon was putting your thumb to your nose and wiggling your fingers. a similar sentiment to putting your tongue out.

[monkey hanger]

i,m lost with this long bacon thing.

[Margaret Pilkington]

It can be used like you said Less or a hand either side of your head and pulling your tongue out….both are considered to be ‘long Bacon’ where I come from.

Thanks for that Marge I am always willing to learn.

[Margaret Pilkington]

You are welcome Taddy…..always ready to help if I can.

Had an idea that it might be the tongue thing, that or something from McDuffs & Co Burglers.

No Dave I think that the comment was first used by the Gobbiners who inhabited the upper parts of the Fielding Lane/Broadfield road area in the early twentieth century, I think that they went by the name Duck Berry or something very simular; I have know doubt that Marge will be able to put you and I right on the matter, over to you Marge, lots of love, stay safe, Taddy.

Thanks for that Less, very interesting.

[Margaret Pilkington]

Thank you Less…..we always used two hands to make long bacon…not to the nose though, but at the side of our heads…..it was usually done(if to an adult) behind their back….to their face if it was another child.

Taddy my maiden name was Duxbury…..but not a gobbiner….we lived all our formative years on Riley’s Hill and our playground was Priestley Clough and Bullough Park.
