    Over the last couple off weeks I've noticed that whether i'm on the phone or passing people in the street (social distancing intact) that the last greeting now is Stay Safe, not goodbye/see you later/cheerio, etc.

    Toodles.

    Goodbye is reserved for passengers on ill-fated voyages.

    I'm seeing "Stay Safe" at the bottom of work emails, arseholes.

    First they came for the socialists...

    What really annoys me is after the RTE nine O'Clock news and the weather Chap comes on and says "and a very goodnight to you".

    ......before he reads out the weather :confused:
    Personally I'd keep the goodnight for the ending.
