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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
