And you have been. I think the figure there is around 159. That's from staying in bed.

Correct.

Perhaps we should all stay in our beds all day?
It must be safer than getting up.
Unless you live in a Florida tower block.
That’s cold.
Because they stand on the wall and say "nothing's gonna hurt you tonight, not on my watch".

There are risks everywhere. Some people are afraid to fly, yet the journey to the airport is more dangerous. Sitting in the middle of a wide open space, you could get struck by lightning or a meteor. We like to assume our homes are safe, bu9t they can catch fire, in some areas there could be an earthquake or tornado, and in this instance there was major structural weakness. If you've never heard of Ronan Point, go look that one up.

Floor to riser joint, Ronan Point. Amazing that this was thought acceptable.

OFSO, as an aside, we had a presentation by a USAF lt col who had been based in Moscow, what he told us was like this at Ronan Point
construction defects (failure to build as designed) had left unfilled gaps between floors and walls throughout, hidden only by skirting boards and ceiling paper
He said you could look from the ceiling joint of one apartment into the floor of the next.

Note that the floor is resting on a hardboard pad.Modify a washer used to fit a gascooker and away we go...

Drifting back to the OP topic, here's a little taster for the Lockdown Fanatics, some of whom still lurk on this forum;



Beware, this video employs the use of the "F" word* which some here may find deeply offensive!!

Hopefully this thread has returned to the topic and there will be no more "deliberate posting in the wrong thread" which I am informed is almost a Capital Offence meriting a compulsory 'holiday' for the perpetrators?

So getting away from the structural defects in UK tower blocks, here is an image to warm the cockles of your hearts viz. pictures of Ernst Stavro Blofeld and the other Klaus Schwab crittur who presents a genuine threat to the remains of the World as we know it;

Guess which villain is which, the fluffy white pussy might provide a clue for those of a slower intellect?

As usual, the comments which follow the article are as entertaining and informative as it's content, but those still labouring under the stairs snuffling through their face nappies with wobbling lower lips will take a different view.

D'ya ever get that gnawing sensation you've been had for a complete sucker? :-w

And just to remind you all of the UK's chief conman, who strangely affected the judgement of unthinking politicians Worldwide, here is a critical take on the utter shambles which we witnessed and under which we all suffered to varying degrees;

The cat is always the villain. The minion, on whose lap the cat sits, is merely there to provide food, comfort and other necessary services.
