Thankyou, I try. The rather obvious difference to the situation for keyworkers such as yourself, (and by the way a heartfelt thankyou from me, even if you tell me to stick it up my arse) is that in these troubled times, you along with many others are putting yourself in danger and some have chosen to appreciate this. If that doesn't work for you that I have no quibbles even though I disagree. It is nice to be nice after all. But the fact remains that the majority of the times driving for a living doesn't carry a large chance of death. That could depend upon how you drive of couse. If it's anything like you post then Lord help us all. :-)
The point about the increased danger seems to have been ignored by yourself which given what you do (Ambulance driver, right? ;-) I find strange.
I may be wrong but I doubt I am alone in thinking that you have been unnecessarily aggressive. Your choice obviously but that is what I was "shit stirring" about.

People have a tendency to be on the defensive rather than aggressive when their posts are being misquoted and replies are twisted, like I have explained in other posts and I am not repeating the explanation again.

People don't need tipping because their job has become slightly more dangerous, or as I have also said previously we will be tipping a lot of people who do jobs that have now become dangerous, some of them very simple jobs, the poor girl that stands front of shop at the supermarket and wipes down your returned trolly, with a pair of disposable gloves on and a mask, not the greatest protection tbh but that is indeed the only thing I have and a tub of anti-bacterial wash to douse myself down with between every drop I go to and then again before I enter my family home.

Btw a thank you is nice and is sufficient for most key-workers.

Shit-stirring only leads in one direction.

More worried about every other fucker leaving a couple of cans of special brew for the bin men and them being three sheets to the wind at the wheel of a 26 ton bin wagon.

I always found that was the best way to be a multi-drop driver, it numbed the pain of 150 drops a day and moaning housewives who expected their parcels at 9am.

I thought it would be better now it’s just getting shitter and more depressing. I really hope the next week sees more of a decline.

Mistakes? It's an absolute shambles from top to bottom. Nowhere near enough testing, nowhere near enough PPE, the prime feckin minister shaking hands with corona patients telling us all not to worry. Utterly shambolic handling of the entire situation.

He was lying about shaking hands with coronavirus patients.
