I think a badge or something will save embarrassment on all sides, some **** at M & S Hollingbury was most upset at being denied access this morning, he promptly jumped into his Range which he parked over two bays and sped off, what a cock.

He should have taken his underpants off and used them as a face covering, complete with skidmarks. That would have ensured social distancing as well!
My experience of genteel Eastbourne today, every customer i saw whilst doing the shopping had masks on and were maintaining social distancing though not quite the 2 metres but keeping apart as much as was necessary. Top work here, Impressive adherence to the measures set for every ones safety.
Phoned the bus company, explained and they sent it to me. Think you can do it online as well.
I find your "stay at home attitude" arrogant and dismissive so we're equal.
I still find this mask wearing a bit drastic, in the same way as social pressure comes around in October to wear a poppy at all times otherwise your a traitor.
Humans have been around for over 200 thousand years and there have been many pandemics throughout that time. Whatever we do the grim reaper will get us eventually, and there is a risk everyday in just crossing the road or taking a drive in a car. In a democracy choice is important.

No, you go out and potentially infect somebody with a disease thats out of control mate. Sorry about the distress ive caused you, by suggesting you should avoid contact with people due to your unique condition.
My 'stay at home' attitude? ****ing right, stay at home if you cant wear a face covering you selfish arse. Its not forever ffs.

I’m not clear what the trigger will be to stop the mask requirement. Covid figures already v low and there has been no suggestion that the requirement will go if figures stay this low or get even lower.
Seems like an indefinite period.
If the measure is there due to concerns about a potential winter increase in numbers which may or may not happen, the mask requirement could run through to spring 2021 or beyond.

"Out of control"? In many countries, and many states, and certainly at times in England. But it's now "under control", and the masks are only intended to keep it down. In the tourist season here in Cornwall, there were only 7 cases identified last week. Doubt if any of the conditions mentioned on here are "unique".

Yeah, you just have to ask for it, and they will sell you one. so you dont have to follow government advice, to help ensure the slowing down of this thing.

With all due deference to your fatalism and ignoring for the moment humanity's efforts over the millennia to stay alive by hook or by crook, or more accurately, by science - (people realised that washing hands prevented the spread of germs in the mid 19th century; doctors in Europe had been wearing masks since the 17th century (as you'll also know if you've ever played or seen Assassins' Creed)), but say at the moment we had Victorian-esque coal smog in our cities, or vehicle pollution akin to China or Bangladesh, we'd all wear masks without question. We would. Of course we would. If someone had a sniffly sneezy cold, you'd expect them to carry around a hanky. If a surgeon operated on you to remove a bit of cartilage from your knee, given a choice you'd probably prefer it if they wore a surgical mask.
As it happens, we happen to have a virus that spreads exponentially and kills people, and if you unknowingly carry that virus - essentially a common cold virus - and don't wear a mask in situations where you're more likely to pick up/distribute these germs, then why wouldn't you? It's not a 'political' choice, it's not about 'democracy', because this virus could care less; it may be that the government have been piecemeal and slapdash in their approach, but the facts remain.
Plus, like big sunglasses, everyone looks sexier wearing them.
Twenty cases today at one caravan site in England.
To use our municipal tip/recycling place we had to book online and the booking told us we must wear a mask and gloves.
When we used our booking today there were 4 other cars, 6 people dumping things, and one attendant. Not one of the ****ers, including the attendant, was wearing a mask or gloves. Mrs T has contacted the council.
I am beginning to wonder who is most deluded, our shitfer brains government, or our complacent dimbot public.
No, young ladies and fellahs, you may get no symptoms if you catch the virus, but you may yet kill your mum, dad or grandparents.
Or me.
The 'masks may not work so why bother' contingent are as selfish as the 'I can handle my drink and all this drink driving and seatbelt bollocks is just bollocks' brigade during the 60s and 70s.
Anyway, must send message now; it's increadibly difficult txting while driving, especially when you've had a few shandies.

Sigh .... I've got an ID badge that shows I am exempt from wearing a mask as per GOVERNMENT ADVICE. Stop being a prick Dave.

I doubt that actually. Is it the one you got from the bus company?
You lost all credibility with your 'sheeple' comment im afraid.

That's going to be a big thing in my mind come Winter. There will be a massive rise in crime in local stores as this is going to be an open goal for thiefs.
Police: "Can you describe what the perpetrator looked like?"
Shop staff: "No. I could only see his eyes as he had a mask over his face and a beanie hat over his head."

I use a cotton cotton breathable head scarf neck scarf type thing..I just put it round my neck and pull it over my face when needed it means I dont forget it.
I had my sunglasses on and walked into a shop with my face covered, the shopkeeper looked at me and immediately said " Can you take your face mask off" while pointing to his in store camera ! So there is an issue there for sure.
