GENTLEMEN'S RELISH

First remove spending cap

apply "easing lockdown"

in small amounts

always read instructions.

 

In the case of reactions

adjust dose accordingly.

Side effects include euphoria,

self righteousness,

 

pomposity

over sincerity,

dreams of tuck shops and wheezes

fever and sneezes.

 

Antidotes should always be to hand

for example further austerity.

Masks may be worn

anything that encourages footfall

that's about all

for now....

◄ RESPECTING WHAT'S DEAD AND BURIED

FINAL JOURNEY ►

Certainly Po . Apply liberally and take with a pinch of salt. !

Thanks Jennifer as always. I was thinking of Boris with the tuck shop, I always the title was something rather naughty - monocles and sock suspenders etc. I think you can still buy it, although no longer in the ceramic pots, shame.

Phillipa, Shifa and Stephen many thanks for the likes.

Liked this, (as nearly always!) Ray. Remember the real Gentlemans' Relish. A kind of anchovy past for sandwiches in a rather nice opaque white jar with a lid! Young's Pottted shrimps were of the same period too. don't get the 'tuck shops' bit. A connection to Eton by any chance? Where the governments are going to get the money for all these subsidies from I hate to think. We'll all be in debt for the next half century!
