What is the point.......

This morning whilst queuing at Sainsbury?s I watched a gentleman get out of his car, painstakingly put on a pair of latex gloves, shut and locked his car then proceed to take a hankie out of his pocket, gave his nose a pretty impressive blow, place the hankie back in his pocket then go and get a trolley - those gloves now serve no purpose.


I despair!

Interestingly state schools do not teach basic hygiene in Biology but Alleyns used to teach their 13 year olds food hygiene and an officially recognised certificate was presented at the end of the course....that was in the early 1990s. Hopefully the National Curriculum will change!

What proof do you have of this.

What proof do I have of what? The fact that state schools don't teach hygiene in Biology, or that Alleyn's taught a food hygiene course?

Personal experience in both instances- phone the school if you don't believe me. It was taught by Ms Burtenshaw as I remember.

A while ago I had to have a blood test in hospital.

A nurse put the gloves on, opened the drawer to get her paraphernalia out, laid them on the table, then went out of the room, using her gloved hands to push the handle. Came back ten minutes later and proceeded with the blood test without changing the gloves. I had no idea what she could have been touching when she was out.

I have been accompanying relatives to hospital for over 10 years off and on last time was 2016.

Saw a doc come out of a cubicle after doing a rectal exam and then took off the gloves and just rinsed his hands quickly under the tap- no soap or anything ....

A friend went into hospital for an operation and they took a nasal swab for MRSA...it came back clear. Then a few days later- and she'd never left the hospital- they did another swab for MRSA ...it was positive.

A nurse came in to her ISOLATION room to check her one day when I was there and didn't even bother washing her hands when she left- touched the door handle for a start.

The woman in the next room was isolated for C. diff.

Also I have seen several wearing jewellery on their hands over the years....weird- all these things harbour bugs


Things have improved it seems

From his point of view, the gloves serve the purpose that HIS skin is not going to touch any surface.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By tedfudge · Posted

      Apparently this company has been doing this for years and the schools pay £30 per egg , it's to teach the children how ducklings and chicks are born , personally I'm disgusted that schools would do that on the first place and disgusted with the company that does this , wondering if they do this with any other animals aswell

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By first mate · Posted

      Do you think cyclists running red lights or cycling on pavements is just fine then? A red light is the occasion when a pedestrian may be more likely to cross a busy road. Because there are significant penalties for car drivers, the vast majority of drivers do stop at a red light; I rarely see cyclists stop. As I said before, the other day a I witnessed a Lime bike shoot through a red light at speed and nearly take out a child. Had the bike connected, that would have been a nasty injury.  As Rockets has pointed out, there clearly is an issue with this as City of London Police are cracking down on cyclists.

      My friends wife is a school teacher and they had some ducklings in eggs Last week at the school and they hatched my friends wife bought them home for weekend as they couldnt be left alone at the school and she was ment to take back to the school Monday but read the bottom of the letter that comes with the eggs and when they have hatched your ment to call the company who breeds them etc and they will collect ( they charge £30 per egg for the schools ) and when they collect them they take them back to wherever they come from and kill the baby ducklings by gassing them , she got upset and refused to take them back and has contacted an animal sanctuary who will pick them up this week from her house , as an animal lover I think that is absolutely discusting and if anyone's school has this sort of thing going on please get other parents together and get it stopped
