Teacher no mask

Nc for this as may be outing.
Dh went to london yesterday on train and returned about 11pm.
On the return he saw the Head of the pre-order at my son's school with 3 friends - 2 ladies and 2 men altogether- all without masks and drinking from cans of g&t.
This is a £30k a year prep school, not that it should make any difference. But the head gets a lot of shit, because everyone pays they expect so much.
I'm inclined not to say anything, but wondered what would mn do?

I'd keep well out, that's his social time.

You can't drink a g&t through a mask....what should they have been doing? Mask off. Sip from can. Mask back on. Sip from can. And so on? Have a word.

People can’t drink without a mask on, and even teachers at Prep schools are allowed to drink alcohol when they are not in the classroom.

EatDessertFirst · 09/10/2020 18:53

Keep my nose out. Teachers are entitled to social lives.

Lipstickpowderpaint · 09/10/2020 18:53

It is a 45 minute journey so I dont think they were permanently drinking.
No maks were involved at any time.
I thought mn didnt like non mask wearers?

Were they doing anything wrong? You are allowed to take your mask off to eat and drink on public transport (and doesnt exclude drinking alcohol), and you are allowed in groups of 6 in most of the country?

TitianaTitsling · 09/10/2020 18:55

What gin? Hopefully not the asda cheapy £1 a can... If course that's a big decider in level of punishment!

Maireas · 09/10/2020 18:55

What's a pre order school?
Because she's a headteacher at an expensive school this is worse? How?

Sounds like you WANT to make something of it tbh
SquirtleSquad · 09/10/2020 18:55

Is this serious? Trunky want a bun Hmm

ChaChaCha2012 · 09/10/2020 18:56

Imagine watching someone for 45 minutes to check their mask use. Would your husband like a Covid Marshall badge?

vanillandhoney · 09/10/2020 18:56

I really couldn't get worked up about this. Putting a mask on and taking it off every time you want a drink is worse than not wearing one at all.

But this comment makes me think you were just hoping for a lot of froth.

There's a difference between thinking someone should wear a mask, and getting them in shit for not doing it.
Lipstickpowderpaint · 09/10/2020 18:57

I'm not a huge fan of seeing ppl without masks.
I hate them so much. So maybe I just need a coffee next time I go to london and sip that then I dont need one at all?

I don't know how they could drink with their masks on? Maybe her and her mates were drinking and complaining about busybody parents 😂 😂

Would it have made a difference if she was drinking water or a coffee?

MN doesn't like goady fuckers either.

Not your circus.

Lipstickpowderpaint · 09/10/2020 19:00

Brilliant.

I thank mn as I now have a great get out clause. Drink something, fuck the mask all the way!

A teacher drinking alcohol! In public! And on a school night!

Clearly you need a campaign to get her sacked or you could have just smiled and acknowledge her and then get on with the rest of your life.

GottaPlanStan · 09/10/2020 19:02

Drinking straight from a can?

Good heavens! Clearly not the behaviour one expects from the Head of one's £30k a year prep school!

Did they leave the crystalware at home? Shock
