‘Doctor will see you then...’

‘No need to tip. As there’s a taxi driver shortage, can you give me a lift home, please?’

‘The doctor won’t see you now.’

‘Nigel’s an ego warrior.’

‘Take me to your multi-billionaire business magnate.’

‘And finally, it’ll be up to your individual judgment whether you wear a mask or not.’

‘What did you do in the office, Grandpa?’

‘And where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’

‘You have to take the knee to read it, apparently.’

‘You wait ages for an MP to be thrown under a bus…’

‘Face masks! Inhalers! Testing kits!’

‘I can remember when this was all Tier Four.’
