Vince Green Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 In a very big tesco yesterday I counted six people not wearing masks. All young and I suspect foreign because we have a big Eastern European community round here, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoolinDalton Posted August 1, 2020 Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi all. I've just been to the 'local' kebab / pizza / shop and upon entering (with a face mask on, even though I think it's probably a waste of time...the horse has bolted!) I counted eleven youths, possibly aged between 12 and 14. Not a mask in site. Neither was any of the staff, delivery driver or girl at the till wearing any! What exactly are the rules, for public and shop staff? Just for clarity, ALL the youths were Asian (Indian most likely) but local kids. I just wonder if their parents are 1) actually aware of the (latest?) rules of mixing with more than a certain number of people outside of your immediate family....and 2) actually bothering to ensure that their children are wearing masks when entering shops! I have a feeling that they have all been to either the local mosque or to a (family) party, to celebrate Eid. The shop staff (Iranians or Iraqis) didn't seem bothered by the number of people in the shop at one time or the lack of masks! Any thoughts on youths in general not wearing them or just their attitude to this pandemic / present situation we find ourselves in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is like any kebab shop I’ve ever seen the horse has definitely been bolted and is now twirling around the doner grill with 25 assorted other animals.

treetree Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 Finding the whole thing pretty disconcerting now; seen groups of teenagers wandering around the streets who now think that the hoodie up and facemask on combination (as well as the identikit tracksuit bottoms), gives them the anonymity to do as they please. Had a bloke in a facemask walking far to close behind my young daughter, again face mask on ( scurried off quickly when I shot over there), but with a face mask on my only description would be 'he had grey hair".

Walker570 Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 and......100s are arriving by inflatable every day on the south coast and sweet nothing is being done about it. Then they turn around to me and ORDER me to wear a mask. You could not make it up. By the way, brilliant cartoon in the Daily Telegraph today sums it all up brilliantly.

DoolinDalton Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 The latest crazy idea from Boris and co is the 50% off deal when buying a restaurant meal. Why are they encouraging ANYONE to go to a restaurant, obviously WITHOUT A FACE MASK ON! Yes, I know it's difficult to EAT with a mask on.....but for some people, it's also difficult to actually BREATHE with one on, due to either physical or psychological factors! The whole thing is slowly falling apart (for me at least) as I can't see the logic in the Government's strategy. Can anyone here see why / where we, the UK, are heading with this contradictory strategy from our Government? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to get back to work to pay their bills, and some of them are restaurants themselves, and their staff. What do you ( DoolinDalton ) suggest as an alternative?

Bobba Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 The 50% is up to a maximum of £10 and it came as a pleasant surprise when this week we ventured out for the first time and it came off of our bill. We were glad we chose the early seating option because despite good distances between tables we didn't feel too comfortable as the restaurant started to fill up. A personal thing I suspect.

B725 Posted August 10, 2020 Report Share Posted August 10, 2020 I called into a garage this morning and there was 4 cars full of people of Asian descent all with several bicycles strapped to the back of the cars going in and out of the garage and not one was wearing a mask.

On Monday in Norwich, I experienced the same thing of three people entering the garage to pay, not wearing masks- both middle aged and white. Then last night as I popped into the local one stop at the wife’s request to pick up some ‘pop’ - Two people entered without masks on either, guess what , both white - what on earth is PW’s fascination over pointing out, or trying to blame, segments of our society??? BTW, just back from France and in the shops - “No masky, No Entry, No excuses as it will still be - No entry” . A lot where wearing them outside of the shops too. Don’t believe everything that you read in the Daily Mail as has been said before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday in a very loud voice I told two chaps (early 20's) to leave my local shop and get a mask with much support from the counter staff who are often feeling powerless to object.

Walker570 Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 I have two Doctors who are friends and they say the whole approach from Government advisors is a load of balony and the mask thing is just a cover up for their failings. The one thing I am pleased about is that it has stopped this hugging instead of a good old straight forward hand shake. . They have all the death statistic wrong, got the A level exams wrong, why should I have faith in their assesment against my own Doctor. The country has become a bunch of scaredy cats. I am still waiting for a reply on my question as to how many died since 1st Jan this year from smoking and alcohol ...... oh hang on, they claw in millions from tax on those don't they.

Far from it they went back to their van and came back with masks. Unfortunately I went in the same shop this morning without a mask and only realised my mistake when I got back in the car.

No shop can force you to wear one as the staff are not trained to know if you have a medical condition that prevents you from wearing one. I have asked that same question in several shops and they all said the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 At least one shop locally is operating a "no mask, no entry" policy; no idea of the legal implications. https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/shopping/gloucester-shop-insists-not-ashamed-4439426 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 (edited) I would have thought that anybody who had asthma would be highly motivated to wear a mask not claiming to be exempt Edited August 24, 2020 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
