RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted March 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2020 And they’ve sold 3 out of 4!!!!! ”You can experience the steam that comes from the Big Boy in your own home. Simply pour the steam (in its liquid state) into a common pan, place it on the stove, then turn the stove on to "high". In just minutes, you have Big Boy steam! “ https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F274129454709 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went to Lourdes at Easter (1963 or 1964). It was unbelievably cold especially at the baths where the healing waters are. Was not suffering with anything beforehand but miraculous that none of us died from pneumonia. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked up a 6 pack of double length yesterday and tonight there wasn't a single sheet of paper available. The weird thing is that most of it is made in Australia and the factory is now working 24/7 to attempt to keep up with demand. The lady in front of me at the checkout started her own little speciality of panic buying. She had about 8 packets of cotton buds, each presumably containing 200! Anyone got any clues as to what anyone might want with 1600 cotton buds? Tonight at my local Morrisons....FFS people get a grip! 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted March 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 6, 2020 The idiots running the asylum, (where I work), have fitted ALL the shiny new hand sanitisers within ten feet of where there is already hot running water and soap dispensers available – called the “bathrooms”! (Although, technically, there are no baths involved in the said rooms but…) Whilst the many wheezing and sneezing people, (in the open plan offices), have to pass through several doors, and corridors, to reach the mostly ineffectual “hand sanitisers” on their way to the much more effective sinks, soap and hot water!! Maybe I have missed the point, and these new gel-dispensers are not in response to the Covid-19 virus, (where they are, admittedly, not much use), and that these hand sanitisers are for the (conscientious) staff leaving the bathrooms to disinfect their hands, (after previously washing their hands and pulling the bathroom door open), when previous user(s) haven’t washed their hands at all! …..naaaaagh!

We don't have those awful "air knife things" if that's what you mean, but we have "air force" blowers instead - at least those point downwards - and no paper towels! (..although a fair percentage use bog-roll or don't dry at all.) Kev. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dyson AirBlade throws water particles all over the place. Of course the water remaining on hands after hands are washed *should* be relatively clean, but might not be, and creating a wet-humid environment on the floor isn't very sterile. The downwards blowers create a lot of water on the floor as well, but don't throw it around as much as the original Dysons do. I do see Dyson selling a new downward unit, but have never seen one installed. Studies suggest that the earlier AirBlades spread bacteria 1,300 times more than paper towels and 60 times more than traditional downward blowers. Apparently the AirBlade V units "only" spread bacteria 28 times more than paper towels. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going to Scarborough years ago with my nan. My nan knew that you just take a quick swig of the "waters". But all the tourists were gulping it down by the pint. "For gods sake, get to the lavatory as it'll be falling through you in about 10 minutes!" It's a very good laxative and apparently they don't recommend drinking it anymore.... Maybe that's why they need all that bog roll. Jason 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
