Wearing Gloves!

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.

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
