A word of warning (not car related)

Over recent weeks I've been out and about shopping for vulnerable people, this has seen me using much of the alcohol hand gels. I make no excuses at this time for having too many beers and last night I tripped and fell, I landed with my palms open on a flat carpeted floor but, the copious use of hand gel has dried out my skin quite badly. As I fell I got a searing pain through my hand like I'd fallen on glass, the thumb pad on my hand has literally torn away and the skin looks like pulled pork where it's torn. I didn't think that the hand gels could dry out the skin so much, and so I'm sharing this as a warning to moisturise your hands if you're using the gels, I've learned a very important lesson.
