Morrisons have security on the door and have had since the spring. They have announced today that no mask = a ban - unless medically exempt. However - the number of medically exempt locally seems unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 And presumably you do not have to prove you are medically exempt and quite possibly it is illegal to ask for proof! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s meaningless. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/uk-news/shoppers-who-refuse-wear-masks-19605200 They will be offering masks, those with reasons not to wear one should be able to prove it, simple really. This idea you can't ask is just pandering to the muppets, the idea people forget them is also rubbish, who doesn't have a couple of masks in the car, one in each jacket, it used to be you found a fiver, now it's a mask 😷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on a 20mph road, it seems that you add the two 20mph speeds displayed at the end of the road together and use that as a starting point.

Scully Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 On our regional news it was stated police have administered 68 fines this weekend in the Lakes, to people from as far afield as Newcastle, Sheffield and I think ,Nottinghamshire! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope it's contained quickly. Was just reading an article on the Torygraph website about the German state of enforcement, and it was genuinely chilling...But some wit put an absolutely brilliant comment up, which some up my sentiments entirely: Quote Isn't this all rather odd? I will happily wear a mask anywhere. I will limit my social contacts to zero. I will exercise once every day and limit that to two miles walking. I will go shopping for food only and limit my purchases to those items on the 'approved' list. IF The government publishes the data ( in accordance with basic scientific protocols ) that establishes a need for a policy, the data that proves the efficacy of that policy and cost/benefit analyses proving the net benefit of that policy. I doubt I am alone in that outlook so why isn't the data being published to increase compliance? Could it be that there is no such data? Or the data contradicts the establishment orthodoxy? Incidentally, I know the Telegraph is behind a paywall, but today is a day to sign up for the free trial, as this article comparing lockdowns vs infection rates in Europe is very enlightening (spoiler: they don't work), as well as Ian Botham's Op Ed piece, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, I realised you realised the bench was faked, but I was finding the article to show your point. And I realised the two women were real, as was the rescinding. It's a bizarre and complicated lockdown when both stories can seem equally plausible and implausible at the same time - but for only one of them to be true...

She doesn’t HAVE to go, but wants to, for an hour and a half. Her mother then told me that just prior to the Christmas break up she kept her daughter off school because in one year eleven students and three teachers tested positive. So when I asked the obvious question she just shrugged! Ah well. Meanwhile, watching a bit of the football yesterday, I saw one player empty the contents of his nose onto the pitch, while his mates were spitting at every opportunity! No doubt they’d all be rolling about in it at some time during the game, and at the final whistle they were all over each other! Is it me? When I become PM I will make spitting in a public place illegal. 🙂 You get my vote, just for that bit………... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
