I'm Not A Snob.

[teacake44]

But I've decided to do all my shopping at M&S for the next few weeks, because if I'm going to get a virus, I'd like an M&S one.

Comedy gold!!

[bookbinder]

Ooooh! Posh, aren't we?

[andy-hughes]

I remember Simon Le Bon saying a similar thing - "I'm not a snob, ask anyone … well, anyone who matters."

[Tilly2]

This is not just a virus, this is an M&S virus!

[Bazile]

If only Carlsberg did Covid 19...……………………..

[SlackAlice]

Is this part of the meal deal?

[Peter Pedant]

oo can I be technical and completely incomprehensible as ever?

straight from a bat please - least likely to be bad for humans
get it from a human and it may have evolved to be worse (*)

(*)principle from germ warfare
passage froo the host you want ( er Man) and it gets worse (**)
passage froo an unrelated mammal horse duck mouse and it is less pathogenic for man and is the old way to produce a vaccine

er well I did say I worked at Porton Down

(**) this is why in 1665 yup I wrote 1665 - the plague bacillus didnt need a black rat to reproduce but jumped from Man to Man wivvart the rat by blood stained spit at the very end. = = noticed by cntmeporary observers I think but the significance not realised

When did ducks get classified as mammals?

That aside, keep going pp, you're one of AB's few jewels :-)

[Hopkirk]

Really!?!

[Lie-in King]

glad to hear that something that M&S sell is going viral - and I bet their marketers and shareholders are as well.....Never knew that they sell Corona - all the flavours? orangeade, lemonade, dandelion and burdock, raspberryade, cherry, cream soda and limeade....?
