@Cattermole Grin

At least we have an good excuse for not social distancing in the house!

@countrygirl99 If there was a digger we just wouldn’t get to school at all 😂

@BubbleIsNotAFuckingVerb

I’m so sorry, I was typing quickly in a bit of a rant, yes I did forget it was more to protect the NHS and we wouldn’t have wanted to get an illness/injury and not to have been able to have it dealt with. I do really appreciate shielded people’s anxieties too and feel sad that they have been made to feel more anxious than is necessary, the letter sounds so frightening and I appreciate how lucky I am not to be in that group. And yes of course they have made sacrifices too. I really don’t blame them at all. They all need your positive attitude! I saw a patient yesterday whose anxiety was palpable, her first trip out the house since March! The outside world has sadly got more frightening for some people the longer they have stayed inside. All these knock on psychological effects will affect some people for the rest of their lives, they will never feel safe partaking in normal life again.

Masks now compulsory in shops in Scotland.

FUCK THIS SHIT.

Wales - I could cry open hospitality only outdoors from 13th July, indoors banned until god knows when. So many friends and family dead in the water job and business wise here in N Wales.

Fucking hell. Is she actually trying to destroy Scotland’s economy?

Well I needed a right good laugh this morning and here it is.
A woman who has been digging for victory has produced a rather nutritious, edible crop

Right I’m off to plant my new shrubs, that cost the price of a much needed Osteopathic massage

Drakeford will make masks compulsory tomorrow in an echo

justasking111 · 02/07/2020 12:47

There is a strong chapel theme running through this enjoyment being sinful in Wales, self denial good.

justasking111 · 02/07/2020 12:52

OMG will the police have to visit every hospitality establishment and lean on the owner if rulezzz are broken, well yes according to the daft bint speaking now.

Mascotte · 02/07/2020 12:52

I am really upset by masks in shops.

I just won't go to them. Brilliant, NS

justasking111 · 02/07/2020 12:53

Air bridges - dont blame us for the krankies tantrum.

Yes. A Puritan’s wet dream. It’s worrying. Perfect chance for old school, traditional, middle aged, male politicians to abolish all the things they deem ‘unnecessary’.
Willitneverend · 02/07/2020 12:54

I'd tuned in thinking there was going to be something substantive about children but it turned out to be that kids under 11 get to not socially distance. Feeling distinctly underwhelmed.

justasking111 · 02/07/2020 12:54

Wales coz schools closed hospitality can open instead wtf.

DesmondTheMoonbear · 02/07/2020 12:55

Oh fuck her. Fuck her. She can go to hell. Vile power hungry individual and fuck everyone lapping up every slavering word that she says.

Mascotte · 02/07/2020 12:57

I'm scared to look... did she mention quarantine/travel?

DesmondTheMoonbear · 02/07/2020 13:00

I might be a little angry. Just a little. This is going to make life so fucking difficult for people like myself who can't wear them, not to mention miserable for the general population and will really fuck the shops over.

Mascotte · 02/07/2020 13:00

@DesmondTheMoonbear I am fucking furious. It's fucking ridiculous

Orangeblossom78 · 02/07/2020 13:00

Masks in shops? Oh dear might have to sort out my elderly parents up there then they won't have any. argh.

What was I thinking starting a thread on the schools guidance. Such negativity. I thought it sounded OK.

Drivingdownthe101 · 02/07/2020 13:01

It’ll lead to more calls for compulsory masks in shops in England too.

You started a schools thread? I think you’re the bravest person I know Grin
Mascotte · 02/07/2020 13:02

Why do people love fucking masks so fucking much???

DesmondTheMoonbear · 02/07/2020 13:02

So who do I write to? My MP is out of action at the moment because of a brain haemorrhage.

SockYarn · 02/07/2020 13:04

She is so contradictory.

We're doing really well, numbers are down a lot, I'm opening up beer gardens, you can travel more than 5 miles and go to the islands, kids can play with their friends without socially distancing.

But I'm making masks compulsory. Hmm

Agree, Mascotte. I will be avoiding shops. And considering not going back to my volunteering position in a charity shop because it's certainly not my job to police the wearing of face coverings.

DD and I were at a busy shopping mall type place in Glasgow this week and everyone was being SO well behaved. Socially distancing. Sanitising hands when asked to do so. Queuing without complaint. Masks are so unnecessary.
