Had me worried.

Good job he's not in the sort of place I'm likely to visit.
There might have been smashing windows.

To be fair, there *has* been an outbreak of F&M in the UK
this year but it has been in humans rather than livestock.
Be careful who you snog.

Is that 'hand, foot and mouth'? If so, it's not the same as
the dreaded F&M.

Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disease
What is hand, foot, and mouth disease?

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is a common illness of
infants and children. It is characterized by fever, sores in
the mouth, and a rash with blisters. HFMD begins with a mild
fever, poor appetite, malaise ("feeling sick"😉, and frequently
a sore throat. One or 2 days after the fever begins, painful
sores develop in the mouth. They begin as small red spots that
blister and then often become ulcers. They are usually located
on the tongue, gums, and inside of the cheeks. The skin rash
develops over 1 to 2 days with flat or raised red spots, some
with blisters. The rash does not itch, and it is usually
located on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. It
may also appear on the buttocks. A person with HFMD may have
only the rash or the mouth ulcers.

Is HFMD the same as foot-and-mouth disease?

No. HFMD is often confused with foot-and-mouth disease of
cattle, sheep, and swine. Although the names are similar, the
two diseases are not related at all and are caused by
different viruses. For information on foot-and-mouth disease,
please visit the web site of the US Department of Agriculture
at http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/issues/fmd/fmd.html

and perhaps the safest option. 'hand foot and mouth' sounds nasty.

Just because your wife's a looker. Anyway, you don't get too fussy at my
age.

I've just spent a couple of hours writing my objection to the Lewis Windfarm
proposal btw.

My neice had it and, Yes, it's very unpleasant. Its also highly
contagious.

You shame me into action. Need to get me head 'round the bits that
peeve me the most. Objections to green initiatives need to be carefully
considered.

Worth a separate thread in here methinks. Just to catch peoples'
attentions. After all, this thread has descended into ovine fornication
and is thus now only relevant to Derby County supporters, who may or
may not have an interest in the preservation of a key wilderness area.
