Would you do me the courtesy to answer my questions that you seemed to have glossed over?
We seem to be at an impasse, Nick. Oh well.
I was trying to like you!

I think in the pharmacy’s case they are probably doing it because they think most customers (sick people) prefer it, and it also gives a fake veneer of clinical expertise. Like nail salons etc
This is in London so the rules have been gone for ages
Wow. You liken a pharmacy to a nail salon. That explains your inability to understand why that might be wearing masks.This is in London so the rules have been gone for ages
I'm flying back to the UK (from NZ) in a week's time, had to get a full medical exemption for the airline, otherwise it would have been a mask for 36 hours.
About 90% of people out and about in NZ still wear a mask (it's supposedly mandatory), very weird. I have no reason to ever wear one again.

Supposedly mandatory or still NZ law? We love NZ but not going back until the masks are no longer required.About 90% of people out and about in NZ still wear a mask (it's supposedly mandatory), very weird. I have no reason to ever wear one again.

The dying of the lake was nothing to do with Covid or it being a 'beauty spot'. It's because it was very blue and inviting to look at but that is due to the many noxious chemicals in it and, as such, it was toxic to anyone who swam in it.

That's really interesting, thank you.
Intriguing that the very first line of the article is 'A rural British police force has bemused the public with unusual responses to the coronavirus crisis including dyeing a lagoon black to dissuade people from going there' if, in fact, that isn't the case.

Just back from the Co Op. I can sort of understand why masks may potentially work in a limited way & under specific circumstances, but why in gods name would you wear one in the beautiful spring sunshine but with your nose sticking out over the top?!?!? Middle aged looking woman doing just that, then continuing with the farce outside......

Rotten teeth/falsers fell out etc. I actually know a guy who's been wearing his mask as he waits for his new teeth lol

That's all very well, but she looked s
t scared of every other person in the shop. Brainwashed?? I doubt she was 'vulnerable', otherwise she would have at least put the stupid thing over her nose....
There's a bloke on the till at my local Sainsburys, wears one of those ridiculous clear visor things, plus a face mask which he keeps positioned so that the top edge of it lines up with his bottom lip.
Maskers are strange...
Fair enough, but the concept of persuading so many people to do something so clearly utterly pointless and convincing them that they are better or healthier people for it is so endlessly fascinating! 
It really has become a complete new religion, with its symbols and its doctrines and its scriptures (the Bangladeshi Study, etc).
Fascinating.

The old folk still wear the mask in our big Tesco. of course it is around their chin. Totally pointless.
Yes, that is what I'm seeing in in my local Tesco too. 90% of my fellow shoppers are unmasked but there are a few residual customers who are still masked up. I think it's a permanent change for those folk, and they are overwhelmingly elderly customers.Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
