Plague 9

My little trip out yesterday went rather well , except for the doctor trip . despite checking online that it was ready , one tablet of mine is unavailable , its an obscure one and they struggle to get it , could i come in everyday to see if its here ?  Errr No .  I have a couple of weeks worth and i wont die from not taking it . the new system doesnt allow you to see if they havent filled the whole prescription request AAARRRGGGHHH
The Coop has a 10 people in the shop ruling theres not queues down the road just four or five people outside , the problem is the aisles are so narrow you cant stand miles apart , have you noticed that theres a lot of people seem to be losing there marbles ?  there was a women in the coop scuttling into corners muttering that everyone was to close .  Got the bits i needed along with a great big bag of yellow stickered items to top the freezer up , you can only buy 2 items of anything so its a tad varied , we are still living in a bog roll desert .
Spotted the butchers was open so popped in , he was pleasantly busy, no big queue a lot of pensioners kept pulling up outside then waiting till the shop was empty and scuttling in .  He kept asking why people didnt shop there usually and we all said the same thing , bloody tourists . You cant normally park anywhere and they are just under your feet ..lol  did suggest opening an hour earlier in the summer months , hes a damned good butcher and hes not expensive .
In fact the whole lack of tourists make it pleasant to visit the tourist hell that is Woodhall Spa , not a caravan to be seen  , sheer bliss .

Plague 8

Well lifes pretty normal here other half is still going on with the Captain Mannering attitude , though im now making sure he doesnt get to watch all the endless news programmes at tea time by moving his tea time and making him sit in the kitchen . It doesnt stop him trawling the internet , but like a magpie he tends to watch bright and shiny to him stuff , fishing videos , car stuff  etc . But if he asks me once more why theres no scotch eggs I will scream .
Need to venture out tomorrow to pick up other halfs perscriptions cant use the pick up service because it has a class A drug among it and only i can collect it as the nominated person . So i will factor in a trip to the Sainsburys & coop local to see if they have any stock while im out , not sure if the butchers and bakers are still open . Its amazing how many joggers are trotting past each day that and an awful lot of singular sport cyclists heading down into the fen road which probably looks good on google maps but is actually an imaginary road resembling a pockmarked cratered collapsing disaster , that no local uses unless they live down there .
Tom the postman has pointed out from a distance , that hes worried about some of the nutters on the fen as we call them . We do have a small pocket of survivalist nutters live around us in the more isolated properties . They have barricaded the drives to their properties , so hes just tying their post in a bag on the fence . There are also a couple put up signs no visitors armed , ho hum . I would imagine the Council Tax bailiffs will be finding a few bodies once this is over .

Plague 7

Well lockdown doesnt seem to be making a lot of difference this morning , the road out of the village was much the same still lots of school buses with 3 kids on and everyone going to work . But a lot of folks in the village work in farming and food , plus theres an awful lot of RAF here and theyre business as usual , they have night flying so not a lot of sleep to be had .  Next door is already killing her kids because theyre stuck at home with her . On the kids front it does seem a tad daft to be busing kids all over the county to senior school when there could be school hubs at local primary level , theres about 10 kids at our little primary now .
Ive the van to pick up from MOT today , it passed with flying colours . The Angling Association is still trying to confirm if going fishing is allowed . If not i may have to sedate himself .
The problem im having is that stress and anxiety aggravate his ability to understand things , so im endlessly trying to explain over and over again because he forgets what ive told him , he woke me up at 5am to ask me what time we were going fishing .AARRRGGHH
That and the endless asking for stuff we dont have and trying to stop him eating everything in the house , ive a very well stocked pantry but im aware that if he eats everything he likes straight away , then he will make my life hell when he has little choice in what we eat .
Not sure how the grocery side of stuff will be organised out here in the countryside , most online deliveries for supermarkets are concentrating on towns and show no slots for our area on any dates , we have a Curtis butcher van  from time to time , veg is easy to come by and eggs are available so no big problems , daft time of year for a virus really the hunger gap before gardens kick in.

Plague 6

So as we bimble into the national holiday known as social isolation , im busy ordering bits and bobs online .  trouble is its usually 4 in the morning when i remember stuff we will need, its all been rather random , shant need anything of a craft nature im not running out of thread this time . But this morning i woke up and thought of fly spray an essential country item , then got up and watched a gorgeous sunrise over the fields very misty this morning , but im trying to get a bit done for the garden each day even if its just a pot of seeds . ive quite a few packets of out of date stuff that were magazine gifts etc so i will sow tons and give them away if nothing else .  The compost i ordered is out of stock so i will venture down to the local garage as he has a little garden center , i need to go to get lawnmower fuel another essential as the council police will doubtless still be pottering round and drop off the van for its MOT .
It would seem that the media rumours state men die more than women , not a fair correlation , i think men are just much less active than women if they are disabled etc . a bit of a sweeping generalisation i know .  Then theres the anti inflammatory warning , hoping Mr BH doesnt spot that one as he takes massive doses , so that will be him convinced hes doomed yet again.   Blood grouping is said to be a factor along with genetics ...Maybe Betfred could set up a system to bet against the day of your demise ?

Plague 5

So ive been out foraging this morning yet again , a single breadloaf from the coop but i needed to be there to get cash , i was visiting the little portacabin on the fen ..aka Derek Meeds Tin Factory at Langrick Bridge there before 9 there was a queue but nothing dramatic .  Got Useful son most of his grocery needs , his job has gone and hes got a stinker of a head cold so not Corona , hes gutted hes stuck at home when theres tons of jobs in security being offered , we are aware he will be struggling money wise so hes now got a months groceries to keep him ticking over . The Tin Factory had mountains of stock they usually supply the pubs and restaurants , so do a lot of catering size packs . they also stand the markets at weekends , plenty of pasta , beans meatballs and ravioli , tinned soups , they even had the elusive bread yeast . I was only buying needs so just got a case of beans for stock and more noodles for sarcastic son . From next week they are starting local deliveries , they have always been a well kept secret its been there since i was a child . Some in the queue were muttering at a bloke loading his people carrier up , but he has 6 kids and Boston has been picked clean so i dont blame him, he left a copy of his list for delivery next week . the stress that those with big families are under is ridiculous all because those with a bit of money have gone out and shopped like locusts .
The chicken factory staff shop is another people arent aware of , i got a couple of packs of boned chicken thighs and 2 big bags of Chinese chicken thighs , it splits down and thats the freezer full again . Every day they have different products so last night must have been thigh night , its dirt cheap but its card only .  So thats the local grocery story for today , im going to wrap up warm and play in the garden in the bitter wind , wish me luck

Plague 4

Todays edition of cant make the bugger up has arrived . The local shops are still empty but it does point out graphically that in a pensioner community nobody eats vegan, wraps or whole chickens . Budgens having been replaced by a Sainsburys local . Popped in on the way back from picking up a perscription . Got talking to a lovely frail old lady on a scooter trying to get a basket of shopping ,  she couldnt manage to forage on her own but needed groceries . We found her two bread loaves because nobody could think to look under the very bottom shelf at the back . And a very large carton of fresh milk which i explained it was fine to freeze or freeze half in a jug if that was easier .  Also explained that you dont need a big knife to chop up a chicken its fine to do it with big scissors . She did giggle that she has a years supply of loo roll but little actual food in . Her son lives with her but hes on the boats for the oil rigs and not due home til the weekend . Told her that if she needs bread the posh delicatessen in town first thing is the place for bread hes not churning out tourist tat just bog standard loaves and buns.  The countryside does seem to be stepping up to the mark much quicker than a lot of places . The local pub is cooking meals on wheels and takeaway. and the usual village suspects are popping out to get stuff for people . Im just casually foraging in my usual way but with a family list rather than a just for us list . Tin factory on Saturday morning and with a bit of luck the van will be back on the road Tuesday, its booked in for an MOT nothing is actually shut in the wilds apart from tourist things .
And now for a little sort of light relief ?  We are friends of a local very Evangelical Church through food bank and other things . There pastor has had to post a large notice on his church door and website to state that this is not the End Times !!!  Dont give away your food and bog roll to the ungodly just because you think youre about to be Raptured . Now ive always thought that the one problem with the Raptured lark is that those who would be going are probably not those who expect to be going . .....................

Plague 3

Yesterday it sunk in to mister BH that the end is nigh . What will we do for cat food , 3 months tinned 6 months dried chuck . By the end of the day he was running out of things to think of that we dont have in .  He finally nailed me with batteries , it seems i havent stocked some battery he needs for his radios so we must venture out to get them ..lol  So off to so called civilisation to get some later this morning , not worried, he may be classed as high risk but he doesnt actually shop due to his walking . He wont stop at home but will just sit in the car , i will forage anything interesting on my little trip out . Theres a lot of coughing and sneezing out there but its the normal winter snot bug doing the rounds , there have only been a couple of cases in this part of the world . im sure the worst is yet to come but while i can get him out i will . I have plans for the seaside with a flask of tea and sandwiches for the weekend.
The troops have all logged in, Useful son has plenty of food but ran out of loo roll , I did point out just go to the newsagent over the road and they let him have 4 rolls ,ive even managed to make contact with Young Baldrick , who doesnt seem to be at a good place mentally , Mummy dearest is her usual vile self , pissed and grumpy sums her up , shes currently run out of hand sanitiser and has unearthed a couple of bottles of brandy from somewhere in her stash to use . Yesterday i even considered sending her the sausages she likes by overnight post just to stop her wandering the streets ..aaarrrggghhhhh
Mr has just informed me that i need to forage for his brother and family today,  they have half a pig in the freezer plenty of loo roll but no other food in the house and their village shop is empty....just great !! 

Prophet of Doom

Well this is turning into a pretty pickle isnt it . So ive got my crystal ball out and im looking to the future . 
This time next year prophecies. The end of the high street is upon us , so many retail businesses have been teetering  on the edges that a great many will go down fast . Small independents stand some chance but the big boys no chance unless of course they are Tory Party donors . On a plus note a whole new generation of internet shoppers is going to be forced to get over their aversion to technology and shop online . With a lot of help from relatives and friends im off to fight that battle with my mother later , we will lose but once the booze runs out she may be a bit more amenable .

Locking up the elderly, the regulations will doubtless mean we never see them again , not due to the virus but because its decided it will make the government tons of money , Cummings doubtless has a cunning plan for this one . How long before theyre trying to convince us that for the benefit of everyone you should just report to the vet at 70 to be put down the day you retire . Expect lots of Channel 4 documentaries of what a resource drain the elderly are . How much better life is without them cluttering up the streets . Lots of children dying because the few NHS beds left are cluttered by wrinklies . Good old nudge theory , just the same technique theyve been using on benefits claimants and the disabled the last 10 years . Guilt Trip the elderly into doing away with themselves , because if we lock them up for months , depression will convince them its their Public Duty . Plus if you have no family network who can help whos going to notice the trip to the vets . 

Plague 2

So an early morning trip to the Coop for some sliced bread yielded the fact that theres no pasta , no potatoes and the freezers are looking very sparse . But theres tons of yellow label chilled goods that freeze well . The coop however has a delivery most days and it often runs out of stock of various items so no reason to panic yet .  I did think there was an awful lot of pensioners loitering about but they were all waiting for a huge bus trip to somewhere . Other half did comment he fancied a trip to York as it was shown looking deserted on the local news last night .
The fatalistic attitude from talking to a few people seems to be , best to get the bloody bug now while theres still a chance of medical treatment and your own hole in the ground to bury you in . One of the neighbour walking his dog did comment that bob the farmer has a digger and the cricket pitch is unused now, if push comes to shove . His other comment was a tad more worrying , he said he knows who to expect trouble from in the event and he has a gun for anyone coming to steal his beans.  Fuck the government seems to be another widely heard sentiment .
we are a tourist area and ive just seen a post from one of the local chalet sites saying they are opening there camp shop early and anyone can use it , they are fully stocked and have enough loo roll for the whole of the summer season . I suppose its just trying to make a bit of money as cancellations are through the roof  Easter is the biggest part of the season , this will crucify a lot of businesses locally . Tourism is pretty much the only local employment in the season as well ......we shall see

Plague 2020

So here we are in the world of panic , just spent a happy hour trying to explain to a foodbank organiser that she needs to stop whining and get her bun into gear . They havent had many donations this week and are starting to panic , if people have to self isolate a lot of people will have no income or next month under the wonderful universal Credit they will get diddly squat to top up their income , plus it takes 5 weeks for Universal credit to kick in and thats if anyones in the call center to answer the phone .  So being a pragmatic person i suggested they set up a local Paypal account then advertise it through the local press , facebook etc . It seems they have a national system through the Trussel Trust network but not all foodbanks are affiliated to them , plus people are often more willing to help locally . The foodbank has good connections with Tesco and that should help them get what they actually need .
What will happen locally is a big worry for many , we are a tourist area , there are tons of trinket shops and few real shops , the coop seems to have most everything at a price of course . pasta and bog roll seem to be the main shortages , im well stocked up with everything , though i ventured to Lidl Sleaford yesterday , just caught the uht milk delivery so topped that back up , but theyd had no milk since the weekend , id ventured in for a couple of jars of sweet and sour sauce and came out with £20 worth of weird shit as my other half calls it . On a strange note ive had to stop buying lidl white bread it goes mouldy even before the sell by date , not a clue on that one.
Popped into town abandoned MR BH with useful son in the plague pit of Wetherspoons and had a mooch round Sleaford its packed  with charity shops , nothing interesting in them . But Wise Owl a local bargain shop chain did yield some of my favourite soup the discontinued M&S sweet potato and parmesan , plus a carrier bag full of weird and wonderful pot noodles another popular dying and not feeling the urge to cook mainstay . Plus point to having hayfever this early you get to go to the front of the queue pretty quick when you have a sneezing fit

Out and About

Well no need to self isolate now , changing my tablets has gone so well that my immune system has decided to launch another batch of shingles , i had an inkling yesterday when i had a swollen leg and felt like i was getting flu .  All i can do is wait for the blisters to hatch then lather them with coldsore cream , it does seem so much better as a method that the antivirals that appear to do nothing other than give me blinding headaches and really blurred vision . I will mention it to the doctor  but she may gather as im usually very hobbly by that stage ..ho hum
Two jumble sales yesterday a cat one that yielded a cat cushion 3 articles of clothing and a window thermometer which i may put on later , the other sale was a church one , i think the vicar has got the bug as he hosted one for another church in his parish a few weeks ago , i like these sales they are only small but they sell the strangest things , ive come home with a tatty stool that has drawers under it with casters , looks very made in china but im sure i can tart it up and i already have all the stuff i should need . The next few weeks are peak jumble sale season so im hoping theyre not all cancelled
I did witness the toilet roll wars in Poundstretcher , they were nearly scrapping over the last few expensive rolls , i just wanted weedkiller and a few cheesy pasta cup meals theyre always something i fancy when im a bit under the weather, that and soup. im supposed to be cooking for the hoards but after i took the big pork joint out everybody cancelled so its going to be pork everything this week i think ..ho hum at least we can still keep informing the relatives we are still ok

To Infinity

Well I just watched Boris giving his dont panic speech on the BBC about Coronavirus .  I dont think theres the remotest chance that this wont spread in fact it sounds rather like the virus that has been killing so many around here since before Xmas .  Other half is crapping himself  he knows he is what they class as high risk mainly because if he starts coughing his ribs giveaway , so to celebrate hes ordered loads of fishing bait because nobody ever got fish flu did they?  He has threatened to burn my Wish packages on arrival ..lol  ...like to see him try and he has been self isolating since October anyway .
We are extremely well stocked up on the pantry front , so last shop tomorrow and then hibernate for the rest of the year maybe?
Saw the GP the other day and asked if we are all doomed and she said only if you listen to the government and i think that pretty much sums it up

Mumsie

So i have achieved i hope and managed to transfer a photo from the ipad to the big girl puter !!!  Anyway i did a jumble and a table top sale locally yesterday , spent a whole £1 on stuff i didnt need but caught my eye , the little hobbycraft  sewing basket had the wool some needles and an unfinished something inside , which i will unravel . then the village tabletop sale yielded the amazing 1930s Practical Guide to Home Knitting, loads of patterns for underwear and socks and lots of photos to explain . Ive a whole pile of the Wartime ones of these already . Odhams produced loads of Hobby Books back then and out here in the villages everyone must have kept them , theyre distinguished by their grey drab covers among modern shiny books the dust jackets being long gone .
So yesterday i gritted my teeth and rang my mother after the xmas incident where she told me i would be doing the best thing for my children by killing myself . She doesnt change , i got berated for not ringing though she claims she never said any such thing , the story of my life im afraid , no matter how vile she is to me its my imagination , i just make up stories . Sadly for her at the time she was on speaker phone so my other half heard the whole conversation , hence not ringing her for 2 months because he wouldnt lend me his phone.
 Anyway she has self isolated because theres Coronavirus in the next town and is quite enjoying herself with all the wine she had stockpiled for Brexit , shes not answering the door to anyone just incase , I did point out that she needs to make herself a bit more visable even if by only chatting to the postman from inside the porch because i can see where this story is going . Doubtless her concerned neighbours will end up ringing the police as she hasnt been seen for days , she has those vertical blinds so that nobody can see in . Its good that the neighbours keep an eye on her, but she is known to the police for her antics on numerous occasions so they will doubtless send some very junior member of staff  just for the wind up value . This poor soul will doubtless incur the wrath of mother . I wish them luck

Weird

A few months ago my daughter designated me as Weird , ive never really thought of myself as weird , but i suppose she now spends so much time with her partners family that I fail in comparison to normal people like them .  Grandson asked why my house is so messy "because i like chaos , its my comfortable " that shut him up.
Today im creating utter chaos by dragging out the freebie Singer I repaired but havent had a chance to play with machine . thats a tomorrow project i will run it to its limits to see how much it can do . shopping bags for foodbank  and to give away at carboot this summer , these will be practically no cost other than time , ive a stack of curtains and furnishing samples to use up and endless bags of weird coloured thread to use up .
Sarcastic son has commented that hes decided my funeral pyre will be made up of knitting patterns and craft books , i have pointed out that he needs to check on ebay before doing so as he may be torching his inheritance, later found him looking up how to burn a body and knitting patterns..lol  he insists hes just preparing for Corona virus but he did  get designated most likely to end up a serial killer in his school yearbook so maybe i should worry? 
I have also succeeded in baffling Mr Bah Humbug , he opened the wardrobe to find a purple ball gown , that generated a wtf moment . well it was 30p from the jumble last week it fits, its glorious , i will never have any occasion to wear it , but what the hell im weird they had all better get used to it

Technology

So yesterday i pottered off for the ritual nurse visit  diabetes checks ,  somewhat oddly my blood pressure is low and so was my blood sugar , she seemed quite chuffed . I was more concerned and pointed out that this just doesnt happen , ever .  Oh well book an appointment if your that concerned , heres the leaflet for the new System its fully automated online now . Ask Doctor has arrived we barely have to answer the phone now . I pointed out that it doesnt work on my ancient ipad , but its specifically designed for the android system comes the reply everyone uses that now .  Errrr not me , i have a dumb phone and its for emergencies and incoming calls only. Met by a totally blank expression and oh im sure you know someone who can book it for you . Not the point really is it .
I did ask why i was summoned in a month early for my check up , apparently they have nothing on at the moment so are pushing ahead with stuff . The place was deserted nobody in the waiting room very odd its usually packed . Then it clicked , Ask Doctor has been running for 2 weeks already .  We are the rural back end of nowhere , packed with the very frail and elderly, many who have no online access , many cant use the internet , many have dumb phones as well . If you phone the surgery all you get is Ask Doctor , you cant speak to a human and it just takes you in circles back to going online to book anything .  How long till this latest dumb scheme kills someone ? 

Political Anomalies

Im sorry ive gone all political again due to a couple of questions raised by my peculiar taste in media reading .
Question one : Why are they all ranting about the pay raise for the House of Lords per day that takes the pay to more than a single person gets a month on Universal Workhouse ?  Im sure they all deserve said pay rise . But isnt this easily cured , just apply a benefits cap to the Lords or even in a spirit of communism make it a means tested benefit.  Then of course none of them will bother to show up , except those who use it as a care home for parking aged politicos for the day .
Question Two : Eugenics , why are those who really shouldnt be allowed to breed and who nobody in their right mind would be willing to breed with so keen on eugenics for everyone else , perchance are they a superior brand of weasel ?
Question Three: Do you see the comparison between Boris and Henry the Eighth ?  Surrounded by sycophants and with an ever growing ego . I found it chilling when he sat round that cabinet  table with his acolytes getting them to recite his campaign pledges.
Discuss............................ 

Neglect

Watch it shes got that head on , im beginning to think that Himself and sarcastic son are ganging up on me ..lol ..I think its more we have been stuck together far to much this winter , due to scrimping to pay for vehicles.  the weather, more of which i gather we can expect this weekend. I think im just bored out of my mind and sick of all the crap in the house due to the leaky brick sheds they cant repair till Spring .  No its not a good day to repair his shed roof either !!!
Munchkin is joining us for half term , having already scared his new childcare givers away . they just havent grasped that you just feed him endlessly and nod your head and hes quite easy going , hes just not a child who wants organised time , hes very independent.   I will provide him with a sewing machine and he can amuse himself for hours . That and supervised ipad  will be good if the weathers foul , if not he will doubtless be out the door and haunting the village for his old mates if it resembles sunshine . Thats a thought hes eleven, grandads shed repairs shouldnt be beyond him , bonus . Im sure him and his equally practical mate will manage with a bit of supervision .  I always think practical children should be encouraged at all times . 
Thats the thing with raising boys , some are academic but useless, others are practical, others are good at painting your nails .  Why do we try to ram them into a one size fits all mould . Modern education is geared way to far in that direction , where exam results are the only badge of merit , some kids are hands on practical people .  Im more impressed by a man who can fix stuff and grow food , maybe im just an old hippy at heart

Its A Tad Breezy

Its a lovely day for looking out of the window . Himself is asking for a slap . can i not go out and repair the felt on his shed that is flapping in the gale , guess the answer to that one . But theres thousands of pounds of tools in there getting ruined if it rains , he hasnt been in there for at least 2 years so id be more concerned about the mice getting wet . There was enough grumping yesterday when i got the boys to take down his big portable radio mast , what will he do ? Please bear in mind theres half a dozen smaller masts that he can plug himself into , plus he has a battery back up system for when the power goes out . MEN!!
In the spirit of being prepared theres a pork hock slow cookered overnight , now pulled and added to a pint of gravy , stuffing and apple sauce also ready , just popping some part cooked baguettes in with the skin off the hock for crackling ,  then thats tea sorted if the power goes you just wrap the slow cooker in towels it will happily stay warm for hours that way .
Just heard the loft hatch pop up and i need to go and tape the letterbox down . Its quite warm so no need for the heating . I can go and crochet till dark and then an early night I think , hope everyones keeping safe .........Update next doors trampoline has just smashed through the fence , its there fence so no worries im sure the cats will enjoy it

The Excitement

It was a Jumble Sale Week , two in one day . Another cat one with mountains of stuff  and then a church nearly new out in the villages , So i came home with a huge shoe box full of Thimbles , something i dont collect but i had spotted a few nice Edwardian ones among all the white bone china and i was well pleased on sorting through them all to find some that are desirable on ebay , even if im ever allowed to use it again. They dont take up much room so thats a bonus .  More books on 1930s crafts and the village Jumble on the way home yielded a nice big Laura Ashley cushion . Total spent a whole £4 way over budget , but the munchkin and his mum turned up and he was starved and needed cake .
We were feeling brave and ventured to Grimsby yesterday , glorious sunshine with an icy biting wind , sat on the seafront watching brave folks walking their dogs while we nursed a coffee . Ventured to the Value For Money warehouse and got a mountain of different cereals ready for the school holidays .Popped to the market ,  pork hocks were £2 each , theyres enough for a decent dinner on them so a couple have made it into the freezer . Large bags of bones £1 so its make stock day today .
All the swans have left the river and moved onto the fields theres hundreds of them having a social down there , in an act of mean spirited cruelty when one of the Southerners walking his dogs asked about using the public footpath down there i told him it would be fine , the swans really love dogs .

Brexit 1

So now we have Brexited , well that was a bit of an anti climax , not a firework or a party to be seen on the edge of the Fen . Meanwhile the world thinks the whole country was out partying in the streets as all the news crews headed to Parliament Square for Nigel Farage and his shenanigans, the news crews probably outnumbered the party goers , not because there arent lots of Brexit supporters  but holding a street party in January in London wasnt going to do it for most .  Just grateful that the bloke over the road who must own a firework factory is a Remainer and didnt terrorise everyones pets yet again.
Boris has been trying his aspirational speeches  , i have wondered if Cummings has inserted something akin to an electric shock dog trainer about his person somewhere,  that could explain the sudden arm flinging and muttering that keep happening.
For shit and giggles I thought id try to take the Habitual Residency Test on YouGov  it would seem i have no right to be in this country and must leave straight away , excellent not sure where im supposed to go as i was born and bred here, Im buggered due to my lack of a passport and my lack of medical records lost in the computerisation debacle . So when they decide to deport me will i just fly round the world as every other country decides im not theirs? Or will they put me in a nice warm immigration center with TV and 3 meals a day ? got to be better than being in a residential care home.  Thanks to the problem with my medical records i may also find im not eligible for NHS treatment as it does say that if you dont have continuity of records to show you have been here long enough to qualify they can refuse you . I merely have a page from 1991 and one from 93 plus the last 3 years  ...ho hum  i will bring you the fun filled joys of Bexit from time to time
