fk me what a dystopian experience I've just had. I probably eat more than my fair share of takeaways but I can't find a decent Chineese one anywhere local. A mate recommended a little one tucked away down a side street to me so I tried it tonight.

Now I might sound like I'm over exaggerating things but it really was the full on nuclear fall out experience. Walked in and there was counter to ceiling screens installed with a little plastic door in it, the woman behind it had a mask and a face shield on and immediately thrust a mask through the little door towards me saying wear please. I should have walked out there and then really but I said sorry I'm not going to wear a mask, she looked a little pissed off but took my order and I paid for it £8. I couldn't just hand her the money though I had to put it in a plastic bowl on the counter which she then took through the flap and returned the change in the same bowl.

It wasn't until I was in the off licence round the corner that it dawned on me that they probably thought that if I was prepared to give them a killer disease then they would probably try to give me one two and wipe the spare ribs round the toilet. So I went home empty handed. Contrast that with the off licence, little independent shop, not a mask in site, not even on the lady behind the counter, we had a civilised talk about the weather and I left smiling.

It's just a takeaway, can't they give it a rest just for a few minutes if a customer comes in without a mask? The place was empty anyway and after my experience I really hope it goes bust.

Yes I'm fully aware I could have simply work a mask but thats never going to happen for me and if shops want customers then they should appreciate that. People who submit to anything the government come up with will never understand my views on this and will call me a selfish prick etc but I'm now of the opinion that its just tough st if the government lovers end up on the streets now because of their actions.

And then you heard a little guy shouting "da plane boss, look, da plane".

fk me, you keep trotting out this made up horse shyte incidents. All these incidents always seem to happen to you, don't they, no one else? If they are even vaguely true, you must be a completely inept person, on every level to struggle so much with the basic tasks like buying a takeaway? How do you manage to dress yourself of a morning? Do you need your mum to tuck your shirt in?
You are a total and utter fantasist Walt! And it is not even entertaining anymore.

no need to be hateful just because you are a scared little yes man. Why on earth would I invent anything to post on the internet. If you actually got out into the real world you would find out that things like this are far from fantasies and stupid st happens to ordinary people each and every day. Its mainly due to the staggering incompetence of other people.

Didn't you recently start a thread about obnoxious people? You need to take a long look in the mirror pal.

I don't know of anyone who has been fined, but I don't know of anyone who's refused to wear a mask, either.

I'm perplexed, though, as to why you think anyone is 'enjoying the experience'?

They don't enjoy wearing a mask, not by any means but they sure do enjoy showing others that its no problem to wear one.

I was at a friends rental house a couple of weeks ago doing a couple of jobs to get it ready for the market and he asked me to go to B&Q with him, I said I'll give it a miss as it would mean wearing a mask and I wont be doing that. He was a bit put out and thought that I should just abandon my principles to help him out, he then spent the next 10 minutes walking round his kitchen with a mask on to show me how simple it was.

I know he didn't enjoy it because he is a chain smoker and he was absolutely gasping for a fag by the time he took it off but it was worth it to him because he was able to show me what a selfless hero he was.


Edit :redacted, its just happened to me too.

As I have always said, and I have close association with "front line" NHS Staff who agree, wearing of masks is not effective

Aka ‘I’m right, you’re wrong but I won’t provide any evidence’? Close enough?

Good try, but no cigar. I wont provide any evidence for you, a subtle difference. Plenty is available. Have a look yourself.

Ah, the classic defence if someone with no evidence: ‘do your own research’.

The very post above links to the Danish study,as I said plenty of articles are available. Remember our very own government were telling us for months that masks made no difference, until they performed 1 of their inimitable u turns.

In nearly all cases, to avoid a fine and any undue 'fuss'. We are Brits, after all.

There is no fine, it's a Fixed Penalty Notice, a successful court prosecution is required for a fine. Anyone with an IQ above 50 can think of some legitimate way in which they are exempt, it's simply that most have no balls, and there is no fuss because the state lackeys and security muppets likewise don't have the balls to challenge anyone in case they are accused of disability discrimination.

I'm not sure if this is a serious post?

So you went to a shop where you knew they would most likely ask you to wear a mask. You said no, but they served you anyway and even took your cash.

You then decided after paying for the food, you where too scared to eat it and left empty handed. I do wonder how some people function in life sometimes.

So you disagree with the WHO?

"There is no specific evidence to suggest that the wearing of masks by the mass population has any potential benefit. In fact, there's some evidence to suggest the opposite in the misuse of wearing a mask properly or fitting it properly," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO health emergencies program, said at a media briefing in Geneva, Switzerland, on Monday.

And there is plenty of studies that say they do help. But it’s a bit of cloth over your face. It’s hardly an imposition.

But then this isn’t about the science. It’s about the attention and the wanting to feel superior for “sticking it to the man” and “not being a sheep”.
