Shopping again tonight, and I was really surprised by the number of people not wearing face masks.
I cannot believe that they could be so many exempt people in one place, interesting that the majority were from “high risk” group. :shrug:

Talking to my neighbour yesterday who works in a large discount fashion and household goods retailer. She says they have been told to remind all those not wearing a mask of the rules and ask them to put one on. If they say they are exempt then that's ok but if they refuse they cannot do anything about it. However she said that they receive a lot of abuse and threats from those not wearing them with younger under 30s women and Asian men being the worst culprits with the middle aged and older being the ones using them.

Now this retailer is in Bradford so we can see the reasons the local restrictions have just been extended. The message is not getting across to many who frankly don't care. Preston council has put out a motto to try to get the message over to the under 30s where the increase in infections is the greatest. Don't Kill a Granny.

Dont kill a granny??? if thats Bradfords "motto" Im glad Im not a granny living in Bradford. Chris.S.

“Don’t kill a granny “ .. what a sexist campaign, so it’s ok to kill a grandad then ??? :eek:

It was in those evenings that I magically usually found a mountain of household imperatives that Celia had forgotten to do.

Unfortunately, one coincided with an 'office do' which, as a result of my undeserved rank I, I say 'I' being the unsaid collective 'we', was required to attend. Celia was pleasantly surprised once or twice despite obviously being of pre-granny standing and said afterwards what a lovely team I worked with and when was the next one.

The lady brings it up from time to time to my 'Really dear, when was that, exactly?.' Diplomatically, she forgets. Followed next morning by a bunch of Tesco flowers. 56 years now, it's not been a bed of roses.

If you wear your glasses over your mask then they won't steam up, as for shield I believe they are more for you stopping rubbing eyes etc as these have no benefit for breathing as air freely circulates around the shield.

NOT BRADFORD, this is Preston Council using this to try and get the under 30s to stop spreading the virus.

I popped in B&Q in Derby this Sunday,

I was amazed to see how many people where wearing their mask below their noses.
The afore mentioned groups where the main culprits.

In Burton where I work, the number of cases are on the rise again, I'm thinking it's only a matter of time before some form of local lock-down is back in affect.
:mad:

just seen a short video on FB of a woman threatenig to call the police because another driver was in traffic, but driving too close to her and not 2 metres back ?:duh:


Yet she was happy to shout out through an open car window to people and not have a mask on :duh::duh: :D

found it ..:eek:
