To get away from the ‘shock jock’ lovers, intent on making everyone feel anxious, let’s celebrate instead the small and large acts of kindness that are going around.
I’ll start off with two from today.
On my walk with the dog (which has had to change to lead walks around the area rather than big runs with loads of other dogs), I passed a man of about 40, with his son of about 12, leaving a bottle of wine on everyone’s doorstep in his road, ringing the doorbell and going on to the next house.
Second, I received an email via our neighbourhood watch for the area, from our local convenience store, the type run by the sort of people Lohengrin slagged off in another thread, offering to deliver supplies every morning to anyone who is elderly or vulnerable in the area if they ring them up and say what they need. No minimum. No cost.
These are the best of us. Thank you.

I went to the Killay bakery on Wednesday and asked for 2 loaves instead of the usual 1 so that I wouldn't have to go back today.
The lady who served me happens to live around the corner and offered to deliver on her way home in the future.
A very nice gesture indeed. | | | |

Slagged off? Hardly, it was just a simple observation of the mores of the souk transplanted and if you think there’s isn’t calculation underpinning your local store owner’s actions you’re kidding yourself. Again, this isn’t me slagging anybody off it’s recognising a cute move by an astute businessman. You’re doing his advertising for him and he’s on to a winner. Those home deliveries will become footfall across his threshold in a few months. It’s clever. |  |

But Loh the businessman has employees to think about, any money coming in is better than none, he has to try something even if it is with pound signs in his eyes.
I don't trust this government fully. A massive U turn could be on the cards if this pandemic increases aggressively. [Post edited 21 Mar 2020 19:46]

I’m hardly doing much for his business putting it on a Swansea forum am I.
You’re wrong. I’m not interested in talking about it, or arguing about it to be honest.
One thing that this has shown is that some people are angels, and some are scum. I’ve seen absolutely no correlation to race, ethnicity, nationality or colour, save to say that some of the pictures of behaviour of ‘The British’ here and overseas, have filled me with absolute shame. | | | |

'Mores of the souks'
You come come out with some tripe sometimes.
Btw my father in laws local bargain booze run by 'asians' have offered to drop off his stella, perhaps because I suspect they know he struggles on his feet anyway and most probably because he will have to stay at home soon. |  | | |

I’m not arguing with you either. And these ‘British’ folk that have filled with you with horror are hardly likely to be what I would consider ‘my’ people either. Whatever contempt you may feel for them I can guarantee you I’d magnify that ten-fold, and then some. | |

If accurate, which is always a caveat, the pictures of the British Tourists in Benidorm a few days ago made my skin crawl with shame. | | | |

To be fair, you started it.
Anyway - you’re right, back to the subject.
Huge shout out to GTech, who’ve moved all lines from cleaners etc to ventilators, have a prototype up and running, and are ready to move into production next week.

Land Rover are looking to switch production on some of their lines too, if you didn’t already know it? | |

Stay on track guys...
Acts of kindness is the title if you dont mind.
Anyways...
I've made Mrs SJ a lovely cheese and pickle sandwich and cup of tea after her shift today and you'd swear I'd given her a Persian Rug judging by her reaction...
So that's what I've done today to make me feel proud ( Heather Small) ⤠|  |

It was my 3 year old grandsons birthday today and we couldn’t go see him because we are on lockdown so we FaceTimed him Sky News was on behind me and half way through telling me what he’d had for his birthday he said “Grampa,why did Boris Johnson not have the foresight to construct a 500k ventilators a year ago and stockpile 10 million face masks. ? I blame his science denial for this and his other crimes. Also, he is racist."
I could not answer and was left literally shaking. |  |

Yes. Yes indeed you were criticising him, for going back to work 5 days into his self isolation, before checking the facts.
Anyways.

That boy will be Prime Minister by the time he is 18 |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

Was your grandson a Remainer or a Brexiteer?
He's a 3 year old with all this going on.
Happy birthday to the young man 🎂 [Post edited 21 Mar 2020 21:04]
