UK , Masks & Stuff

Here in the UK face-coverings are mandatory in most stores , you walk into the store usually past a disinterested person in uniform , who is surrounded by an array of sanitising products......

Once in the store you look around and notice a majority of customers adhere to the face-covering policy. But a few wandering around bare faced.

Yesterday I even saw a woman carrying a DOG around B&M , she wasn't wearing a mask either.

The absolute hilarity of it made me chuckle.

So , after a wander around B&M , I went on to Aldi , I like the thick plastic 'safety' barriers they have in between each till. That people disregard and still come strolling past ......

So , a morning of shopping......mask wearing mandatory and I wore my mask in both the stores that I visited.

Then , last night I went out for a rare meal as it was my birthday on Wednesday , went for an Indian with a friend. The place was fairly quiet - no masks or any indication that we may be in the middle of a pandemic...., really good meal and nice company.

Walking home afterwards decided to pop into a local bar for a night cap - again , no signs of pandemic procedures.

No wonder people are confused.

That was the second time I have eaten out this year , I m not one for going out much so am not exposing myself to any virus on a regular basis.

How can I become infected in a supermarket , yet not in a bar or restaurant?

Every day things become a little more confusing .....
