This is a big part because we are fundamentally different in majority culture. Just looking at places like France, Germany and the Netherlands a lot of things done wouldn't or don't work here because it's built on a social trust or a cultural not prevelent in England. One initial set of stats said making it mandatory in shops will push large numbers of people back home and online. If true the result is small trader's failing while the government is absolved of any responsibility to support or them turning a blind eye to the rule and the government being absolved of responsibility for death and infection rates.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 14, 2020 Paid Members Posted July 14, 2020 What I fail to understand, unless I have missed something, is this seems only to apply to shops, not Gyms, Cafes, Cinemas or Pubs. It really feels like an effort in reducing people returning to the highstreet as Tommy says. It's almost as if the government is planning something else Quote

It's almost as if the government is planning something else Gyms cafes and pubs are supposed to have measures in place to enforce distancing, booths, seats left empty ect. Supermarkets have all but given up on one way systems and keeping numbers down. That said the gym must be the single worst place, lots of heavy breathing, sweat on machines ect. I mean you take a towel to wipe down the machine then probably use the same towel to wipe your own face. Quote

People do it all the time, well at least at my gym. Thats if they have brought a towel if not then you have a choice of wiping someone else sweat from the machine or just sitting in it. Needless to say im not going back anytime soon Edited July 14, 2020 by quote the raven Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted July 14, 2020 Members Posted July 14, 2020 I can't think of anything less fun than going to a gym at the moment. Run around the fucking park and dead lift branches or something. Quote

The Maestro Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 Face masks won't be mandatory at all. It's a paper tiger like most things in this country are. I'm on the bus home now and there are two bellends without a mask on. One of them is a repeat offender for it. I raised it to the bus driver and emailed the bus company and nothing at all. Its these sorts of idiots that I hope genuinely get Covid. Quote

Finding a disease that is killing people hilarious is one thing but calling someone a dickhead when they have died is grim. Quote

King Coconut Posted July 15, 2020 Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) I'm also happy to laugh at the covid dickhead. Edited July 15, 2020 by King Coconut Quote
Paid Members Tommy! Posted July 15, 2020 Paid Members Posted July 15, 2020 Calling someone a dickhead because they died is shit. Still calling someone who was a dickhead when they were alive a dickhead after they died is another matter. Quote
