That'sa ma boy!



My oldest son, Kimbo, takes his visits to Tesco very seriously.

Where he lives, in Kensington in central London, it's the epicenter of the UK's COVID-19 epidemic.

Best to take all precautions; n'est-ce pas? Stay safe darling boy!

A sense of humor is always good in times of trouble.

It's the only way; laugh or cry!

Adrian Ward said...

The government would not be pleased. Doesn't he realise how serious this is. He could get run over without eye holes and put intolerable strain on Our National Health Service.

Cro Magnon said...

He was more worried about those viruses getting through the tiny eye holes. Luckily I was able to assure him that they're the size of ping pong balls.

local alien said...

Good cover. He definitely can't touch his face in that get up

Cro Magnon said...

Or see anything on the supermarket shelves.

Susan Heather said...

I was wondering how he was doing earlier on today.

Anonymous said...

Good for him. It is interesting how the residents of our richest areas are more directly affected than those in our poorer areas.

Cro Magnon said...

I've just Skyped him; he's doing OK.

Cro Magnon said...

More squashed together perhaps?

JayCee said...

Perhaps he can patent that PPE outfit and make his fortune?

Gwil said...

Very funny. A picture like that could go viral.

New World said...

Great idea. I will make one too. Don't want to take any chances.

Sue said...

I'm going to get myself a burkha. That should do the job.

Cro Magnon said...

I'm making them for £10 each.

Ursula said...

Thought of you this morning. Saw a photo in an article on police re confusion on their interpretation of how to enforce lockdown measures.

The photo was taken at Brighton beach. Two people, sitting on the pebbles, in the middle of nowhere, one else in sight - well, there was a dog in the middle distance and a guy wading out of the water. From a "safe" 2.5 m distance that police officer told them to get off the beach. No shit.

It might go virus, but not viral.

Cro Magnon said...

There'll soon be a run on cardboard boxes.

Cro Magnon said...

Are there any statistics re Burqa wearers catching COVID-19?

Cro Magnon said...

I saw that picture too; I'd have given them a good 'coshing'.

gz said...

Some are taking that too far..when locals are told off for walking locally, even rural dwellers walking from home when they live near no-one.

Yorkshire Pudding said...

I hope you won't mind me saying this but your son has got a rather square head. Mind you he seems happy enough.

Yorkshire Pudding said...

Haven't they got proper crimes to investigate? There was a man in Weston-super-Mare who had parked up by some woods on the edge of town in order to take his dog for a walk and two cops challenged him asking condescendingly if he had read the government guidelines. Ridiculous!

Cro Magnon said...

A certain amount of 'common sense' is required. My son was stopped by the cops here yesterday. He showed them his bit of paper, they said it should have included the time (for which there was no box), and after a pleasant chat he went on his way.

Cro Magnon said...

I'm pleased you didn't also mention that he's bald; he's very sensitive about it.

New World said...

You always get jobsworths in all occupations. I am pleased to say that not all policemen are like this but the few give the many a bad name at the moment.

The Weaver of Grass said...

I shall bear this disguise in mind if I find myself unable to recruit anyone to do my shopping.

Cro Magnon said...

I'm sure it'll suit you.... it's unisex.

Cro Magnon said...

The silly ones have been given bad instructions.

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

Even in this chaos, we still have to laugh.

Cro Magnon said...

No need to become depressed.

gz said...

Cro you are not to drive to take the dog or yourself for a walk, just go from home

Doc said...

Good sense of humor, me thinks he takes after his father?

Cro Magnon said...

We are extremely lucky here. Right outside our front door is open farmland and woods. No need to use the car other than for shopping.

Cro Magnon said...

Actually, I can remember when I discovered that he had a great sense of humour. I was very 'proud' of him. He can be extremely funny. We laugh a lot when together.
