Ken's Deputy 4,456 Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Noticed that. Like, since when did people start wishing each other a 'Safe' xmass. Like; 'Hope you and yours have a great time! And none of you, or the kids, get blown into a butchers cabinet display, or deliberately smashed down by a truck by you know who ' 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eastcoast 3,721 Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 I think it is more to do with Covid, that's when I 1st started noticing people using it on work emails etc. There's worse things that people be writing or saying to each other. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OldPhil 5,347 Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Yeah,.. I find that I am saying it, more and more , especially to close friends....

At my age,...most of my old pals have passed away,...so I am keen to hold on to the few friends I have left... Nothing wrong in the statement,...just as long as you mean it.... Have a good Xmas lads,.. and I hope and pray that the coming year, will be a better one... Warmest regards, to all genuine Goodfellas,...stay safe ,...OldPhil.

I think my entire point's being 'lost', on here, mate. Personally? I've long since made a personal Point of parting with: " Hope to see ye next week. " That's to my mate, the butcher. And the lads who get me there and back. None of us are getting any younger. Even so, I'm older than any of them. And plenty can happen in the week between us meeting. I never take the arrogant liberty of assuming I'll always make that next week. We never know. My Dad taught me that. Long, long ago No. I have ears ~ just! And I have a memory for detail. I've noted a change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 20,787 Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Yeah I'm not feeling all this stay safe bollocks. Yeah I get the sentiments of @OldPhil and in the way he's using it and how he means it fair enough. But it's a new way of 'signing off' and it's come from the age of covid. Did these same people put it on their emails when the muzzies where blowing kids up at concerts or beheading soldiers or rapeing hundreds of kids in Yorkshire. Perhaps we should hash tag #staysafe when the latest figures about black kids stabbing each other and a few white bystanders are released (or not released as the case may be). #hashtag hope you don't get heart issues from the jab. Anyway do sleep well, merry crimbo to one and all. This is Dido full of prosecco, signing off, do stay alive, see you down the road etc etc etc 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
