And once you get alcohol you get fights, and it's hard to punch someone from 2 metres away.

    Same in the village I live in ... every day someone complains about social distancing, yet when it came to VE day the significant parts of the village turned out and had a big party.

    Hey ho ...
    A good show of patriotic sentiment will send the virus packing.

    It's nice of your Mum to let you stay up late once a week.

    That clapping is a bit like clapping when a plane lands.
