Have we been brainwashed already?

[planetcloud]

Anyone else finding themselves watching TV - like a drama or something and wondering why the people aren't two metres apart and have they washed their hands thoroughly? Not to mention walking in crowds!

I'm finding bake off very uncomfortable viewing, lately.

I can’t believe how close everyone is! Back off guys, respect the 2m!

My kids were laughing at me for admitting this the other day, they think I’m crazy

Yes me, but I found a way round it: period drama. I don't seem to see that through a corona lens.

Yes I am doing this. Haha.

I've just stopped myself from yelling that at the TV!

My. Number. Is...

I've just watched two people shake hands and was very judgemental until I remembered that it's a pre-recorded programme.

I'm so glad it's not just me.

We're already conditioned!

Yes! And we have adapted solo quickly to our new rules

@FaFoutis ingenious!

I know Bakeoff was a nightmare - keep back - don't eat each other's cakes !

Yep me too, amazed at how quickly we adapt to what even a couple of weeks ago would have been hard to comprehend.

We were watching a series and the woman got up from the bus seat and touched the rail. Dd shouts 'ooh you shouldnt do that'

And when people hug... Seems quite odd now

Isn't it weird - I know the UK are not known for being touchy feely but we will never go near anyone after all this is all over - suits me - can't be doing with handshaking and air kisses lol!

I was watching some old quiz shows on Challenge last night and kept wanting to tell them to stop patting each others' arms or shoulders.

At least I wasn't as bad as the idiot who took the trouble to go on Twitter and have a go at Deborah Meaden for not setting a good example on Dragons Den. She tweeted back that it was filmed last April.

Oh my gosh! Yes!
I thought it was just me.

I thought it was just me, too. Everyone at home thought I was mad (to be fair, they could be right!!).

I’m not, I’m desperate to touch people. I’m obviously not but my god this is bloody awful. It’s just not the way people are meant to be.

You have just given me a new silver lining to think about. If I'm lucky my dp's family will stop that kiss on the cheek greeting that they do! It's so awkward!

That advert for In For A Penny makes me want to scream! Licking someone else's hand!

Keep 2m from strangers? Introverts are happy with that rule. Can we keep it?

Yes! I watched 8 of 10 cats recently, Jon Richardson said something to Sarah Millican that made her feel so disgusted she said she felt like she needed to wash her hands after that. Hollow laughed think you're going to be washing your hands wayyyy more often than you think soon.

Oh yes. I just watched a fictional show with people having a picnic and found the disconnect quite jarring. Not allowed to do that...

Yes! Though DD rolls her eyes at me!

I don’t watch a lot of tv but I read voraciously. I was reading a book a couple of days ago where a few characters were in a bar ‘where on earth are they that that’s a good idea’ thinks me. Facepalm 🤦‍♀️ 😂
