    Just watching the BBC morning show.
    For weeks and weeks now the whole programme has been about why face masks are not compulsory.
    From today they are and now the whole programme is about how it's unenforceable.:rolleyespink:

      I went shopping last night and the cashier said to me that she doesn't know what the shop policy is but she will not serve anyone who isn't wearing a mask!

          I thought that your beak would keep the mask in a position that would not steam up your glasses. :scratch:

              The shops and the police won't inforce it because people might get aggressive towards the staff, but hubby went to Morrisons this morning and everyone was wearing one and the staff were wearing visors as well.

                I was in my local M&S gas station shop and the police did come in to check that everybody was wearing masks. Accordingly to the security guy it is a £500 fine for not wearing it.

                  They said £100 fine on the news this morning.
                  I went round morrisons this morning and I don't think I imagined it but everyone seemed a bit grumpy, but because you can't see anyone's face it's difficult to tell.
                  Think my shopping trips are going to be shorter and less frequent from now on.
                  It was really nice to get out side and get a proper breath of fresh air.

                          They want to breathe that's why @Scrungee.
                          I've worn one twice now, once to visit the hospital and shopping this morning.
                          I didn't feel to bad at the hospital but I had a blocked nose this morning and I was struggling a bit.

                          I take it that is you on the far right?
                          ;)

                            We went shopping and yes customers had masks on ..but not many shop workers!!! In one shop our ' self service 'till couldn't scan the barcode of one item so we had to buzz for assistance and she came over and stood close to us and keyed in the reference number without any sign of having a mask on her person at all...not even one draped around her neck!! In the same shop we had to squeeze by staff restocking shelves without wearing any too....madness!!:noidea:
