Seemed like england were just going to get on as best they could, whilst the talk in Scotland seems to be that covid passports might be an important part of our future.

There have been comments that people might not be able to carry on in their current employment if they refuse to be vaccinated and that seemed to be both in England and Scotland. There is also the prospect of children being vaccinated and it seemed to me that it might be interesting to learn what other posters think.

All politicians can be trusted to act in any way that suits their way of life etc, but I am not sure that they all have the country's best interests at heart. Was hoping that we might be able to avoid Nicola bad, Boris good type comments, and possibly the contrary Nicola good Boris bad!
Have only had to 'use' the covid passport once if use is the right word. My phone being of the stone age variety meant that I had to use the paper copy requested from the NHS. So the Mrs. and I toddled off to Edinburgh to see the band King King. Long queues had formed outside the venue so we feared the worst about getting in as the concert was under the Covid Vaccination Certificate rules and the venue warned that they would be strictly enforced. That turned out to be nonsense. We were all told to have phones or paper copies ready for inspection but no one even looked at them. There were no readers for the electronic copies and I could have had a copy of the Beano in my hand for all the attention paid to it. Why do they bother. If other or most venues take as little notice it is a pointless gesture which amounts to nothing. Also inside there was hardly a mask to be seen even with those not drinking at the time.

It was great to be back at a live music gig again and the band were superb though!!
