New thread

Posted on the last one ... but so fucking annoyed I’m posting here too

Compulsory face masks in shops or £100 fine from 24th July acc to BBC

I’m so angry I want to cry and shout and punch something (or possibly someone)

Now that it's becoming compulsory will we stop having mask threads. I sure the F hope so. I'm reaching tearful boredom on the topic.

@Pleasedontdothat I hare everything tonight.

*Fellow ADs and my child excepted.

Hate. Not hare. I like hares.

Really? Oh. Fucking marvellous. I'll be hermiting again then.

Hello everyone and wow that's a ridiculous fine. Who's going to be dishing out the fines though?? The police won't want to know. Will parking wardens be repurposed? Will it be a job creation scheme for the newly unemployed???

Well I thought it was coming have a pack of 50 in front porch along with gloves. Bought them ages ago. Watch the price go up again.

I do find it ironic that we are wearing disposable gloves, masks, drinking out of plastic all causing so much rubbish across the country. The silence from the anti litter brigade is telling.

I hope they're announcing a robust system then for those that can't wear them to declare that without having a load of drama. It doesn't affect me but I'm worried for those that have hidden disabilities and have enough crap going on.

Schools threads are going to go KABOOM now about why don't children have to wear masks and visors and sit in a glass box and not breathe

The anti litter brigade is all the lefties (I thought like me) who are wetting themselves over masks and being told what to do by the state. It's bizarre.

You're worried about the environment when there's all these SADLY DIED going on?!

Yep @Mascotte, agree, it's utterly bizarre.

Whilst I hoped it wouldn't I 'prepared'

I've made half a dozen single ply muzzles masks from clothes that were going to the charity shop. They still won't be going on though most of the time.

Chin hammock until someone says something and then pull up for shortest time possible. Even that is only likely to be a max of once a month where I can't buy online.

We’d arranged an appointment in a shop on 25th July, I’ll be cancelling that tomorrow.

Where does it end though?? Masks until vaccine? Everything until vaccine?

Standing in the rain this morning doing the recycling bins, my rubbish has since DS got home, it is just getting silly. Wales opened to visitors this weekend, the litter was just amazing, you cannot eat in so have to buy a take out and sit on the prom. The bins could not cope. Covid is creating mountains of rubbish.

And what the fuck is going to change between now and a week on Friday? Oh yes, there’ll be even fewer people infected so the chance of catching it from some random person fleetingly passed in a shop will be slightly less than diddly-squat

@Mascotte absolutely ... they’re pathetic.

I read some sick-to-the-stomach info about the PPE mountains of waste. Would be better if they were at least incinerated, but mostly to landfill in UK, of course.

I 'joined' twitter over 5 years ago. I've just done my first tweet saying Amazon gets more profits now I can't shop without a mask

I am not a big shopper, online shopping has been great for me for twenty years or so. When pregnant, living out in the sticks all the nursery stuff came courtesy of www. the only thing I shopped for was the pram. I am the reason the high street is failing I think

Not compulsory here but happy to wear it with a proviso.

1. NHS pull your finger out and start treating the sick.
2. Schools pull up your big girl knickers and start teaching.

Another my-mumism... pret etc going out of business is good because less coffee cup related waste. WTF - I actually said - millions of tonnes of single use PPE & everything wrapped in plastic. Yeah covid is fucking brilliant for the environment. Bring back Greta!

Fucksake.
Only just seen the news

Hospital PPE is criminal. The in house laundries once huge employing a lot of folk now normally do cold washes with chemicals. Covid meant hot water = slower washes so the mountains of virus ridden fabrics were binned. I saw the local ladies lovingly sewing PPE gear which was binned because of the back log at the laundries.

The irony of this is that commercial laundries can and do cope with a huge volume of fabrics but when busy put on extra shifts the machines working 24/7 the unions would have a conniption at the thought of this though.

I've been lurking the last few threads. I'm back to complain about the compulsory face coverings. I'm now thinking of where I want to go shopping before the 24th as I'll only be doing essentials again after that. I hate my nose and mouth being covered, makes me feel like I can't breath. No reason for it but it does. I can't wear scarves or polar necks either. I'm not pleased. I was liking being out and about spending money I don't have and now it has to stop. Hopefully if I don't cover my nose it'll feel better.

I do feel really sad about the loss of facial expressions, smiling etc. It's sad. I don't want people to cover up. I'm happy to take my chances with the fucking virus for a bit of normality.

There's a guy working in my local shop who's deaf and lip reads. I've heard him asking people to pull their mask down when they're asking him something because he can't understand otherwise. It's going to make his job so much harder if we're all covered up.

I feel like an extra in Gilead. If we were going to do this why didn't we do it in february when everyone (myself included) was rammed on a train every morning and social distancing didn't exist. It feels like a fucking joke to do it now.

Checking in...

Fucking glum about England's muzzle enforcement; I thought I could at least escape Nicola's police state for a break from them but no.

Chances of my birthday party going ahead at the beginning of September seem to have rapidly gone down. At this rate I'll be turning 40 by crying into my wine alone. What's the fucking point?!

The waste aspect of covid upsets me a lot. And no one seems remotely bothered about the increase of single use.

I won't be buying masks. I'll use a 'covering' of some sort that can live in the car. Thinking on it I'll probably be more at risk of sickness from reusing it without washing it every time. Wonder how many others will be the same.
