My friend Val phoned me recently to (worry) about Monkey Pox.
She worried because there had been some cases reported in Reigate..

 Val is a 74 yr old widow with no men friends let alone any with benefits...  Goes to bed before eleven.. Doesn't frequent any bars and no longer goes into Brighton .. She always wears her mask and washes her hands (often)..
Were the hell is she going to pick up the pox.!!!

Decades ago, we had a lady clerk like that in Chambers. My father always said her Gravestone would read simply;


"Returned Unopened"

Why would she want a man on benefits when she could have Brian who has a decent private pension.
