Moderators nukecad 6 Posted December 22, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 22, 2020 Five minutes ago someone started ringing a handbell on the marketplace ouside my house. It's a small, socially distanced, parade with a santa on a reindeer pulled sleigh, they've just headed off down the main shopping street. But for a moment there I thought it was a new lockdown measure and was half expecting to hear cries of 'Bring out you dead'. Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators nukecad 6 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2020 This is good.https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qrsx Quote The plague has hit London, and as Christmas approaches, Will and Kate are in wave fifteen of state-enforced home confinement together in Will’s London lodgings. That's Will Shakespeare BTW. Very funny and insightful at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites

In October my Facebook feed was full of ads for Plague Doctor costumes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plague_doctor). Although news items like this from back in May indicated that wandering around in such things are not well received by other members of the general public https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-52533718 Link to post Share on other sites
