I’ve just been in the supermarket and 4 kids probably around 12ish not wearing masks as Is their right.  Stood in queue right up behind a woman and her young child both wearing masks. She politely asked the kids to stand away and stay at a distance. One told her to “fuck off I will do what I want” the rest laughed and didn’t move. 
 

Whilst  being mindful they are young kids but also mindful they’ve just told a polite woman to fuck off  I had a word and asked them not so politely to move away from the woman. What sort of values do parents instill in their kids to have them behave like that. I was a twat when I was a kid but I always had manners and respect for grown ups otherwise I got leathered if my dad found out. 

Glad you grew out of that then

MEN reporting that number of cases in Manchester has dropped 10% week on week and that high numbers was mainly down to students

perhaps current measures are working and we may not get tier 3? 

Bolton could be different to Manchester? Our rate isn’t much changed from when they pubs and restaurants reopen, so no logic in closing down further.

Logic

Makes no sense whatsoever. They base their decisions on stats and figures supposedly, yet the number of cases linked to gyms is minuscule. They can pay lip service all they want to keeping the country fit and healthy, but keeping fast food places open while shutting gyms? Fuck. Off.

Potentially disastrous consequences on mental health for many if this happens. Not like last time where everyone was out running and cycling, much easier to sit inside deteriorating when its wet cold and dark outside

I'd very much like to see a justification for closing them if it comes to that. And if they do close, it calls into question any crap they come out with about being interested in mental and physical health.

Honestly must spend a combined total of about 20 minutes per workout just cleaning equipment down now. Sanitiser everywhere, every other machine switched off or moved, until recently you weren't even allowed a personal towel in there. I'm cleaner in there than I am at home ffs.

Something id lije to know

How did GManchesters figuresearly august when we went in special measures, co pare with current figures down south?

My perception is they think they can do whatever the fuck they like with us nothern plebs

Might be wrong, so do we have figures?

Also, we are told that meeting in the home is very high risk....so whats the justification for a blanket closing of bars and pubs....if will just push social gatherings into homes

Not GM but Burnley went under special measures at 21/100k. Boris's constituency was at 45 at the end of September

Grassroots football just been canned round here. Not sure if it’s scotland wide but covers south east of Scotland. Nets closing in. 
 

my money is on full lockdown by mid November until the new year can’t see anything else happening now. Hope I’m wrong

Ours has a cleaner permanently going round and other staff armed with these spray guns (£1k a pop apparently) going over the equipment, whilst every one else plays along and cleans their own stuff

Still wouldn't mind a sauna though

I’ve given up trying to second guess what’s going on.

Honestly, I’m past caring.

Theres fuck all we can do about this lot for 4 years. We might all be pushing our lives around in shopping trolleys by then.

The sooner Brexit starts and we all become millionaires in stovepipe hats, the better.

Sure you will be able to find a very tenuous link to back up that theory 

remember your EU flag or red rose 🌹  in your bio though

Owner of JD gyms paid £181m in tax last year. The highest amount in the country.
