I wanted to pick up a couple barbecue chickens from drive thru fundraiser for my grandson's boy scout troop. Coming back from that, passing a small store, I remembered something that I needed, and I stopped on the spur of the moment to grab it. In the store, in my absent minded bumbling way, I passed someone wearing a mask, and was horrified to realize that I hadn't grabbed mine from the car. I was so embarrassed that I immediately left the store and decided that I could do without q-tips.

The BBC held 24 hour vigils at the factory where business was carrying on as usual and the factory never shut but the non stop news coverage sent shock waves and fear through the town. It all died down in a fortnight and nothing further happened.
