Jambo 4 Ever Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Jambo-Jimbo said: I'm not against the wearing of face masks and I will do so when I have to, but what my beef is, I'm now going to have to wear a mask in shops, the exact same shops that for the last 4 months I've not needed to wear a mask in and all because the big shops in the cities are open, so why should that affect us out in the country? Here in Innerleithen, there are no big shops, and all the shops which are open and have been open throughout this, only allow 1 or 2 people in the shop at any one time, all except the Co-op which is 12, so there will never ever be a crowded shop here. But from the 10 July I will have to wear a mask, even when I'm the only customer in that shop, that's my issue with this, the stupidity of it, for where I live. Different in the cities and I get that and it will work in the crowded shops, but here in a rural setting, absolutely nowhere the same need to wear masks. Really not a big deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom merchants refers to the people who were telling us that the fabric of society will break down if the pubs are opened. These same people look out from their curtains, say tut tut and make a complaint about pretty much everything. They tend to be people who think that gay people are an outrage although I included that because a previous poster was outraged by gay people in Soho. How on earth didn't you understand that?
