Escobarp Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 It booted off on the train last night when my missus was on way home. Load of yoof got on no masks. Woman took offence to it and the abuse of her started. Yoof didn’t bank on a bloke who was clearly very handy asking them to stop, they refused, so he sparked 3 of them out whilst the others shat it. Won’t be the last incident of such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folk in those days probably wore them because it was the right thing to do, rather than say they're not wearing them because they're uncomfortable and/or they think they look daft.

I used to think that she was a decent woman as well (2 eggs on a plate BTW) but she is defo one of these that has been taken in by the "masks are a way for the government to keep the masses in control and oppressed" bullshit brigade. as I said to her, if you have a problem then see your MP or something, don't be arguing with the people that have to go through the shit with you. it fell on deaf ears though, told me I'm a sheep and all the other bollocks you'd expect.

boogs Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I should add really, my opinion is that im not convinced by the rules to wear them in shops only. To me it probably should be everywhere or nowhere, however, if it makes the little old woman feel safer to go shopping or get on the bus or if it makes the people working it the shops feel safer at work then ill put one on, its no great hardship really. Just being basically considerate. I don't see why it has to be a big deal to folk. From what I can tell though, the people making the noise about it are the same kind of cranks that believe and rant about these conspiracy theories, says it all really.

Hard to pitch stuff sometimes. Playing the bleeding heart works well at times. Others it puts folk straight off. “Yet another - let’s raise money for x, y, z”. I know I get sick of that.

From my own experience I'd say around 50% of people working in shops aren't wearing masks. It makes it all a mockery really, a bit like coppers enforcing social distancing whilst sat or stood next to colleagues without any sign of a mask.

Even though they don't like them. It doesn't impact on sales if folk can't get served without one anywhere- that's perhaps where the police can do something. Generally seems to be self policing very well up there. Purely down to attitude and folk doing the right thing for the common good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you could pick up (and maybe London Wanderer / Escobarp can assist here), is that purely down to the attitude of the people or perhaps the messages of the Politicians (Govt here have been criticised for mixed messages)? It’s simply not the same down here - I was in a corner shop the other day and I was the only one (of four customers) wearing one. Numerous people in Halfords not wearing them either when I was in over the weekend. Is it English residents or the London Government who are to blame?
