I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

One thing I really like about the celebrity version of The Traitors is that there's good faithfuls in the final and not just useful idiots. (Although it helped that they decided to banish one of the less good faithfuls...)
