      As I put my mask on to go into B&Q this morning I couldn't help thinking, here we go again.

      I get the feeling the train has now left the station, and we are going back out into the unknown, I sure if this doesn't end soon everyone will just stop bothering.:biggrin:

      The security bloke was on the door in Morrison's handing out masks this morning.
      The young woman, with a child, was in front of me not wearing a mask, he offered her one, she just said, its ok I've got one thanks, and pulled it out of her bag and then put it back in.:roflol:

        Wearing a mask has been ongoing and mandatory here in Scotland, so it makes no difference to us.

          We were already wearing masks, sanitizing and distancing. I went to London a couple of weeks ago, the first time on a train since the pandemic began and hardly anyone else wore a mask! I gave them all a hard stare, a bit wasted behind my mask.

            Same here in Wales - although a lot of people were not wearing masks in Morrisons this morning.

            Natural selection - it turns out that Darwin was correct....

                I also have been wearing a mask, I just find this time of year my glasses tend to steam up. I will just have to put in a, "condensation claim". :heehee:

                    Why are we no longer required to sing happy birthday as we wash our hands?

                      I never sing happy birthday as my singing chases everyone away! Although, I suppose I could use that situation to make sure everyone keeps their distance :ideaIPB:

                        We’re Still wearing masks here in wales, though it’s only mandatory in certain shops :scratch:, some shops ask you to wear them, others don’t care, I’m not taking the chance, wear ours everywhere :thumbsup:

                                Are you listening Boris?

                                Future pandemics could be more lethal than the current Covid crisis, one of the creators of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine has warned.

                                Prof Dame Sarah Gilbert said there NEEDED TO BE MORE FUNDING for pandemic preparedness to prevent the advances made from being lost.
