Righto, all you selfish people out there in North London. That's it! Last night my hubbie was supposed to have his flu jab, he gets one for free as he is diabetic. So we go to the doctor's after work to find they had a mad rush in the afternoon and have no supplies left. For 2 weeks. What is it with people? The media in the UK are whipping everyone up into a frenzy and so it's everyone out for himself. Never mind all the poor old dears who are likely to cark it this winter as it's supposed to be "the bitterest winter of all time" (apart from in 1962-63 apparently thankyou father-in-law) and no-one can afford to put the heating on as British Gas have upped their prices by millions of pounds. Or the people like my hubbie who are vulnerable to things like the flu. Oh no. Everyone's rushing to have a flu jab, despite it not helping at all against bird flu, just coz the bloody media has panicked everyone.
It makes me despair. The other week people were literally at each other's throats for petrol, based on another news story loosely based on actual facts. In Tesco's at the weekend, people were fighting over supplements to the News of the World (yes really!). When the millennium was supposed to wipe out computers, people were stockpiling beans and water. What would really happen if there was any real catastrophe? I really hope that these events prove me wrong and the "human spirit"or whatever it's called kicks in and everyone helps each other out. But if the free dvd isn't in the papers I wouldn't hold your breath!
