gurgle

[caddyman]

Of course, one of the “great pleasures” of this time of year is the number of coughs and colds people have. Last evening on the way home, the woman opposite me was coughing continuously from Liverpool Street until I got off the train. This morning on the Tube between West Ham and (I think) London Bridge, there was someone next to me snuffling and gurgling as if they were trying to inhale a tar pit through a hookah.

It’s times like these that I wish I could switch off my breathing and just absorb oxygen through my eyelids.

At least my two-trousered lackey isn’t coughing today. Yet.

As kids we still learnt to raise hand to mouth at sneezing. This is now out of fashion. Contaminated salive showers are for everyone to enjoy and partake of. Bacillae keep making the round, making things clear: you are never alone.

I'm very snotty at the mo, but I always cover my nose and mouth - and disinfect my hands. :o)

People can't help catching these things and it's nort fair to criticise themn for having sniffles and such, but people like us who try to minimise the impact upon fellow travellers seem to be in a declining minority.
