So, "Off we go again, happy as can be; all good friends and jolly good company"! - who snorted? I don't quite know why I am so cheerful? After all, it's freezing cold, everything is shut down and the misery is mounting! In some - many? - cases, I mean real misery! For many this last year has became apocalyptic and there are precious few indications of any improvements. It's a bit reminiscent of those endlessly long 't.a.b.s'* we had to do in the army loaded down with full kit. They just seemed to go on and bloody on and then on a bit more but, of course, in the end they did finish and it was time for a 'brew up'!
I have no great confidence in Boris and his accomplices doing the right thing at the right time but, to be fair, I'm not all that sure exactly what is the right thing to do! I must confess immediately that, fortunately, the 'Memsahib' and I live comfortably in a warm house and whilst we are far from being mega-rich we do have the means to keep things going. Looking back on my earlier life when I was totally dependent on a single working mother with only her weekly wage to keep us, I do have a rough idea how some people must be feeling the strain.
Good luck and best wishes to you all for 2021!
*t.a.b. - tactical advance to battle
Happy New Year to you and yours Duffers - Memsahib, SOD, and fluffybum!
And to all the D&N family. Thank you for your laughs and insights!

Happy New Year to you all. For what it’s worth, my prediction for 2021 is that any hiccups as a result of Brexit, be they large or small, will be leapt upon by SoD and Brexit declared a failure as he predicted. Any successes as a result of Brexit will be totally ignored by SoD..

Have a good 2021 folks.
Go to it "Blighty". Free to make your own decisions is a good thing no matter what the nay-sayers think.

Well here in the US of A now that 2020 is now 21 that means 'Baby New Year' can now legally purchase alcohol.
Still ... Best Wishes y'all!
