Yeah to be fair that percentage will be outdated and it was always much lower on the street. But it's still compulsory in many indoor places and in the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty minimal measure to take that (hopefully) allows us to have a life fairly close to normal.

 

 

What annoys me is that the wearing of them on public transport isn't enforced properly. Some bus drivers aren't bothered but some won't let you on without one. Either it's the law or it's not. I had one on last Sat. but hardly anyone else on the bus did.

I thought you’d obtained a sick note meaning you get out of wearing one anyway, so why are you so bothered about enforcement?

Well why should some wear them and not others? It's either the law or it isn't and if it is then it should be enforced. I wore on Sat as didn't receive my letter until Monday.

But if you can get out of it, why should others be enforced to wear one?

 

I generally believe anyone who goes on public transport without a mask is pretty selfish at this point whether it’s the law or not.

You’re a fan of complaining for stuff to happen that you don’t have to do yourself, aren’t you?

Frankly, clubs not opening but pubs opening with the implicit understanding that rules will go out the window hours in feels like just another case of the gov shitting on young people.

 

Literally every release of restrictions so far has favoured what older people like or want to do while the rest of us just have to wait in line while still actually doing the work to keep society ticking over.

Seeing as you still post here, you seem to have survived wearing a mask. Why do you still need a letter and impose health risks on others?

Rules don't apply to Karens.

I have panic attacks when very stressed and am scared I may have one whilst wearing one. Can hardly breathe and all my glasses are steamed up. Not a nice experience.

It would be impossible to have any kind of social distancing in a nightclub. Pubs are different and it is possible.

I’m struggling to get my head around this. In England you can now:

 

Visit family members and friends, even create a bubble

Go to non essential shops

Go to the pub

Get a haircut

Go to the cinema

Hold a house viewing

Have workmen/plumbers/electricians round

Visit garden centres

Eat out/get take aways

Take part in non contact sport

Exercise whenever you want and travel as far as you want to do so

And people will be able to travel to and from around 60 countries

 

Exactly how are all of those activities for older people? I guess I don’t know how you’re defining old and and young but these are things people 18+ all tend to do? Clubs and gyms are still closed (though plenty of older people do go to the gym) so I can see that argument but theatres are still closed which I imagine is a hotspot for older people. I guess I just don’t really separate activity with age. My parents are in their early 60s and only leave the house for walks so I don’t think they see the lifting of restrictions as favourable towards them (we’re in Wales anyway so the above doesn’t count for us.)

And how do you know that all the people you see not wearing one don’t all feel the same as you? You can’t demand that people wear them because it’s the law and then make yourself an exception. It ain’t all about you.

I just had a haircut :o I wore a mask, he wore a visor and he was taking tools out of bleach before using them. Altogether a bizarre experience.

There's a spray that makes your glasses avoid being steamed up if that's one of the excuses.

Saw how they were queuing at midnight at some salons. They've got bookings a month in advance at some.

 

I see Wetherspoons has put 10p on every drink and 20p on every meal/food item to try and make up some profits they've lost. They sent new menus out to them all over the past few days. Can't blame them really. I bet many pubs have done so.

All your glasses? How many pairs do you wear at the same time? :blink:

I booked an appointment last week - I wouldn't have queued, but understand some people who would want to.

 

On the point of pubs putting their prices up, my barber has also put his prices up. I can't blame him either - it's a chance to recoup and I don't think people will mind paying a few pence more.

Yeh, I was thinking of even offering to pay more for my hair cut just to help them out. I believe they’re charging a tiny bit extra anyway to cover the cost of the PPE.

I think that's very nice and thoughtful of you if you can afford to do so. My barber was talking about investing in a machine which will bleach his equipment for him - bet that won't be cheap!
