Face Masks In Shops

[smurfchops]

Went into a Kingston on Thames newsagent yesterday, man in front of me didn’t have a mask, lady behind me didn’t have a mask. Guy behind counter had one, as did I, but he didn’t say a word to them. There is a police station across the road, six police sitting in a van outside. Nothing done.

eh? pensioner bashing, where? You accused me of that previiously i seem to remember and i'm really not sure what you mean.It just seems rather rich that you can call people morons for not complying, yet you can smugly say you are also not complying. Like you can give it out but not take it

[iluvmargie]

And that's my last word on the subject (for now). Got to go.

Morrisons today: most customers wearing mask, a lot of them not covering their noses. Some taking them off to chat on their phones.
Some staff wearing normal masks, which must be difficult for prolonged periods. Others wearing plastic visors, most of which covered their nose but not mouth and had fingerprints all over them.
I left mine on but glasses steamed up and I had a bit of trouble breathing. Pulled it off as soon as I got out and wondered if there was really any point.

Whaaat?
I honestly don't know what you are talking about ILM are you sure you are not talking about someone else?

Friday morning as I was about to enter corner shop I heard "Ken, you need mask on" as I went to open the door. Popped back home, donned the mask and went back. Wore my Burnley scarf over my nose and mouth yesterday and Saturday. Just finished work, donned mask, called in corner shop, to see shopkeeper no longer wearing her visor, and 2 customers without face coverings. On seeing my bewildered expression, she explained, "No-one round here is bothering, so neither am I."

It's very bad form to accuse someone of something without a reference, more than once too.

I'd ignore it Bednobs.

i think that is what will happen, people will just discard them as time goes on, perhaps here in London you will see many wearing one, because we are jammed in like sheep

bednobs; if she's having a pop at you, she's leaving me alone :-)))))))

ahh, I had a quick look back at some of my q and a and can't see something, but I suppose that doesn't mean it's not there. I think I once suggested that benefits recipients were shielded from the economic consequences of CV to some extent, and that as people on furlough were getting 80% of their wages, perhaps benefits (including pensions) should be cut to 80% too to help us out of the financial hole.

*snort*

i find there is a distinct atmosphere that isn't pleasant, can we just get back to the post.

[bednobs]

seriously though, is there anything else to say on this subject that hasn't already been said in the last five posts on the same subject?

[Mamyalynne]

No.

[emmie]

perhaps, but it's seriously off topic.

[iluvmargie]

Mamay, I know what I'm talking about and so does she, even though she pretends not to ! Please mind your own business, but you can't help yourself can you ? If someone calls me a moron, I WILL retaliate. Don't call me names, I WON'T retaliate, simple.

[Mamyalynne]

Posts on an open website become everyone's business when they are put there.

I don't call people names.

I would take your grievance to the Editor via an email.

[iluvmargie]

ken, I'll take you on any time as well if you have a pop at me:-))))))) (whatever that means, don't do emojis).

Huh my answers removed, but not bednobs, some favoritism going on here !!!
