Why call the police? He took it off, was told to put it back on and he did.

If it wasn't for cabin pressure they could've just ejected him over the North Sea.

Exactly, it was lock-down in name only here in the Borders, I could go out for a walk as often as I liked and I often did.

 

Had more chance of bumping into these guys than meeting another person.

I wonder if anything will be different in terms of governments or individuals attitiude to climate change following this. As terrible as the pandemic is, it is also a real opportunity for change to give us a fighting chance to avoid the worst effects of climate change. I suspect nothing will be different though and we will still be on course for the most devastating effects of this.

People clearly don’t care about the planet I am afraid mate. Even on this thread people already talking about getting flights to Spain etc. 

I've taken an interest in climate change for some years and was left with the firm opinion that the planet will take care of itself eventually, at the expense of humans.

The 3 main polluting countries, USA, China and India (i think) account for the vast majority of all pollution and while this remains the case, with no serious intention to arrest the harm been done, I can only see th situation getting worse. If we are not past a tipping point then we must be close and i just dont see a firm commitment to change.

On a very small scale, you only have to see what huge amounts of rubbish have been left lying around following lockdown. People will be people.

I believe the next 20 years will see tidal rises, mass flooding, mass droughts, mass human displacement and food shortages, all while the worlds population increases exponentially. 

In my opinion!

I’m sure nature is enjoying this respite.

When I’m out walking it certainly seems that way.

Mrs JJ and many of her collegues all have skin complaints just now, mostly that prickly heat rash, simply because they have face masks, visors, gloves, aprons on for pretty much the whole 12 hour shift, add on the heat in hospitals to start with and it's not comfortable conditions whatsoever to work in.

Yeah one of my neices is a Nurse at RIE says it  uncomfortably hot

I'd be more concerned about cement production rather than air travel.

Cement produces around 3 to 4 times more CO2 than aviation fuel does, but most people aren't aware of it.

What ever it takes

 

the buses will have cctv too I’m sure!

 

still no one has explained why the drivers are ok to not let people on without valid tickets, yet are not doing the same with those who don’t wear masks!

 

surely there is the same threat of abuse from those without tickets as there are with non mask wearers?

 

one is a matter of life and death ... the other is not!

Matter of life and death. 😂

Tell you what, you’d have loved the GDR.

Where did I joke about it? The joke was aimed at you son. That and your penchant for being a wee tell tale TIT.

I do wear a mask when needed.

Not because a know nothing half wit like you tells me but because it settles the nerves of others.

At least wait til Nucky has crossed the Border to his caravan. :cheese:

Luckily I was going in the opposite direction :D

They would have had to cross the border and turn at the roundabout at Berwick to be on the Northbound carriageway entering Scotland

Well don’t be so flippant about it mate 

 

people must wear face masks when and where appropriate- no ifs, buts or maybes about it

ofcourse not.... so WEAR FACEMASKS!

Umm I don’t see how they are not relevant

 

seat belts potentially save lives

face masks potentially save lives of others too!

 

anyone who doesn’t wear one is an ignorant selfish twit - no debate about it!

People (public) need to be educated about using PPE. We are encouraged to used face masks but there are very few people I’ve observed who know the correct procedures for donning  and doffing face masks. Gloves are even more complex when it comes to using them properly. A simple google search (Reputable sites) will educate people. Bottom line the governments should be running information adverts on proper use. So far I’ve seen none. That’s typical though of the catch up governments we have at the moment.

Face masks! 
 

Process for donning: 

• Perform hand hygiene
• Select new ear loop face mask
• Place loops over both ears 
• Pinch nose strip to fit around nose & gently pull the lower edge of the mask to open out the mask and position the mask pleat under the chin. This will ensure the mask fully covers the nose & mouth
• Holding the adaptor behind your head -pull one ear loop around the preferred notch on one side of the adaptor.
• Pull the second ear loop and pull over the preferred notch on the other side 
• Secure the adaptor above any pony tail, bun or hair band worn – this will help the adaptor remain in a good position on the head. 
• Staff with very short or very soft hair may have difficulty in getting the adaptor to stay snugly and reliably around the head. If this is the case, do not use an adaptor. 

Process for doffing: 

• Remove gloves (if worn)
• Perform hand hygiene 
• Holding one loop and adaptor onto head, remove the other ear loop from one notch of the adaptor and pull the mask by the ear loop around and away from the face
• Pull the other ear loop and adaptor forward and away from the head and face 
• Dispose of mask and the adaptor into clinical waste 
• Decontaminate hands 

 

This refers to adaptors but the main points of face mask donning and doffing are there.

Why would you get on a bus without a seatbelt tho? Pretty dangerous
