      Yes, but because Garden Centres tend to be more open, some think the rules should be a bit more relaxed, or, do not apply to them.

          A few people have asked me why the likes of the far East have not had as many cases and deaths compared to the West. My experience of the far East is, they do not tend to like physical contact when greeting or saying goodbye, it makes them feel awkward especially in public. Even to this day, my brother in laws in Thailand do not like me to shake hands with them and my sister in laws do not like me to hug them.

          Also wearing face masks in the far east is very common especially in urban areas where air quality is very poor. Its not uncommon to see many motorcyclists in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam etc etc wearing a face mask, yet they will not be wearing a helmet.

                We've travelled extensively through Asia and the usual greeting tends to a slight bow or a hands clasped Namaste and it seemed the natural thing to do.

                Having said that, we always tended to hug friends and family.

                In my Victor Meldrew voice, "I don't believe it "

                Now Germany has stopped using the AZ vaccine for UNDER 60s.

                Apparently Canada won't use it on under 55s.

                  There's a number of theories going around that the other vaccine manufacturers are spreading the rumours about it not being safe because AZ are doing theirs at cost price.

                      I guess it's going to happen in such an over crowded island.
                      Especially when they say stay local.

                      So every one goes out thinking its just going to be them with 6 friends.

                      But there ain't enough space.

                      At some point they are going to realise this virus is going to run its course, unless they expect every one to just spend another year like the last one, and on and on.
