Then old Grandpa, witholding a smirk,
Shouted missus, still out in the murk,
She rushed in, and intoned,
Why he hadn’t just phoned,
“I’ll be damned if I know how they work”.
This limerick may not make much sense on its own, but is the latest in a series. The others may be found here.

My neighbour is off to the Bahamas today. She doesn’t have a “smart phone” for displaying her NHS Covid jab certificates. It’s causing her no end of trouble. She’s 40-years old. Total Luddite. Extraordinary.

Too late now, but when I travelled 6mth ago I printed all that out on good old paper.
It was just easier at checkin to hand over a stack of pre-prepared things.

I see the U.K. will drop all Covid requirements in Friday for anyone entering here.

Their agenda for a while has just been to take it on the chin. It was a pita when I went to France last summer and had to find a test over there who would deliver the results so I could catch the ferry home.
But… numbers are higher even now than they were then.

And it’s increasing quickly with a new variant, Omicron, that’s already a problem in France. 🤷🏼♀️

Don’t get me started Misk. They should have recognised that covid, in one form or another, was a permanent fixture and put every effort into making sure it was a non-fatal disease. I think every government failed.
Vaccines make it less fatal but there is further to go.

I wish they were giving springtime jabs. I’m a few years short of the 4th jab for 75+ mark. I had my booster in October, so I’ll be vulnerable soon with no protection.

No we had that with wife’s mum. Then she got cocky, tried to take photos with it and managed to ture the sound off so it wouldn’t ring.
I don’t think she touches it now 🤣

Haha, good one sir. My father also seemingly wasn’t comfortable with smartphones until recently he bought one. He is trying to figure out how these things work.
