NO, MY NAME IS SANITISER! Fed-up German is sick of calls from panicking germ-dodgers

-

A BLAMELESS German man is taking calls morning, noon and night from panicking folk desperate to get hold of anti- viral gel…

Because his name is HANS SANITISER!

Carpenter Hans, 58, from Regensburg, Bavaria, says that he has been fielding calls from all over the world as people believe he supplies the gold- dust gel.

“They shout, they swear. They call me ‘ Dirty f- word Hun’ and ‘ filthy square- head Kraut’ and they shout ‘ Who win the f- wording war?’ and something about World Cup.

“And this is very hurtful for me, and is hurtful for all the German people.

“In Germany we wash hands many times. We are clean people.”

Hans explained that he cannot change his telephone number as it’s printed on all his promotiona­l material and would cost a small fortune to change.

He says: “I am hoping that this will all, how you say? ‘ blow over’.”

When the coronaviru­s first hit, hand sanitiser became the number one panic- bought item and shop shelves were soon stripped bare, along with vast mountains of toilet rolls.

Supplies have still not returned to normal and most retailers have placed strict

HURTFUL: Hans says calls have been very abusive restrictio­ns on purchases of the scarce substance.

Authoritie­s have insisted that washing hands with hot water and ordinary soap remains the best defence against the Chinese death plague.
