Scousers and Geordies.... don't shake their hands

[KeithD]

True Scenario:
Shelf stacker in supermarket is bursting for a , so runs the loo....finishes, and as per health & safety, washed his hands throughly. He then exits by grabbing the door handle, and in the process transfers hundreds of other peoples germs and pee onto his hands.

He then returns to stacking the cakes & bread.

You come in, buy a box of cakes, touching the outer box. Get back to your car starving, open the cake box and grab one.....guess what you have just transferred onto your food?

....and yet this has been going on for centuries, and I don't hear of folk dropping dead, as it is these things that build up our immune system. If everything was sterile, we would drop dead from the first germ we come across.

EXACTLY!!!!

When I think back 5 years to when I was a young lad, we didn't have 'sell by' dates or 'consume by.'
I have survived to be the fine example of strapping young manhood that you see before you today.
This issue is akin to Political Correctness - which we all have to endure these days - we take things too far and too literally (in my opinion.)
