              Stylish as ever. The shot of the bartender and punter both handling the pack of bog roll makes me think that not everyone has understood the concept of the surface transmission, never mind social distancing.

                    Are you sure @Seul isn't stopping by for the weekend?

                      Popped down to one of the sea front pubs last night.

                      There was a notice saying:

                      Do not come to this pub if any of the following apply.

                      The first bullet was:

                      If you are self isolating….

                          Gosport "craftsmen"

                          About 2 years ago, we had new gates made and installed.  I am fixing up some gate automation at the moment.  And noticed that one of the 6 strap hinges had been installed like this…..

                          The other 5 were correctly done - how on earth does anyone think that that's a good job…..(luckily it's the middle hinge of three, so the least important to have been done correctly)....

                          If its any consolation, I worked on a dispute where in a luxury apartment block contractor forgot to connect the waste pipes up in the top five floors.

                          You can imagine what happened to the walls of the poor bastards in the flats below when people started doing massive dumps and flushing toilets…..

                                      For sure…. I find it equal parts funny/scary that during our Saturday morning warm up last September we fit right in there. Huge English breakfast and  pints of beer on the High Street follwoed by more pints and friendly chats in what turned out to be one of the dodgiest pubs in a town of very dodgy pubs.

                                        (and the repainted it every time the city fixed it)
