SSoutherner Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 6 hours ago, Wholly Trinity said: Very nice. Which raises another question alluded to with the bike helmet. If you go to a bank wearing a face covering as above, would you be allowed in? similarly with a bike helmet? Will they bring in a rule about showing your eyes/ears? I actually got challenged by the security bloke at the ATM the other day for wearing my helmet, and when I challenged him, saying everyone is wearing a face mask, he didn't really know what to say. Is this the end of being refused service at the petrol station whilst wearing a bike helmet? (I've already challenged them on the difference between this and a cultural/religious face covering). I have now done entire shops in Waitrose/Lidl & Morrisons wearing a shut lid and gloves, apart form a fogging issue in Morrisons (longer shop) I have had no issues and not been commented to or looked at in a strange way. In Waitrose I could scan the products using my phone and then just added them into my Givi top box which was sat in the trolley then use a self service till so I have no contact with a human whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone wore one inside the shops I visited. Some people kept them on outside (not me; they are too hot to keep on for longer than absolutely necessary!). I was impressed. I was bemused in Boots though: all the customers were wearing face coverings while not a single member of staff was, other than the opticians (who were in full PPE). I'm less inclined to go near staff now as they aren't protecting me. In Boots, being a chemist and all, I really thought the staff would be wearing face coverings. I have a selection of masks. I have 100 disposables and a variety of reusables including a Saints mask and some rather snazzy Burberry ones (as well as cheap as chips ones which fall off when I speak). science man Vallance said it was expected that people could not wear masks all day... for the reason you find and hence they touch them a lot which defeats the gains wearing a masks gives... hence shop shop not wearing... Anyway "T" missus and I have a selection of masks to wear, home made and brought ones plus pack of disposable. Problem is I pick one up, leave it in "T" pocket and as a consequence I have a selection of "T" ones in me pocket whenever I put my hand in "T" coat pocket. One issue I have is the neighbor brought some black ones.. and then when showing them to the missus she said they looked like her G strings. Now whenever I see someone with those similar black masks I can't get that comment and hence image out me mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "cost" of that would be far higher than £20 in my mental wellbeing. Business must be good in CKNland. "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!"

Wolford6 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I took a disposable mask to town on Saturday and the elastic came away from the mask. Without a mask, you can't go into a shop to buy a pack. The lady in the sewing shop in Wibsey is making washable ones for £3.50. Camouflage ones for me and my grandson; black and polka dot ones for my daughter and granddaughters. Two per person, that should do it. Under Scrutiny by the Right-On Thought Police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copa Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I’m on the lookout for some reusable masks but with 5 million Victorians only getting a few days notice that they are now mandatory to wear when outside, they are now very difficult to find.

Does it have to be a mask? You can snood or scarf it here as long as your face is covered properly. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

Trevorkfevfan Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm hopeful I will get longer life out of the face shields. Much more comfortable for us "puffers" to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
