I agree, Wan.

I went for a walk at the weekend, went passed one house where there was a garden party / gathering. About 20 people, didn’t seem to be much sign of social distancing.
I checked my location. I wasn’t in Barnsley.
Walked through some pea fields, took me back to my ****age days of potato and pea picking. Earnt enough for my season tickets and millers away days.
Why don’t kids do that anymore?
No real requirement to have people travelling across Europe en mass to pick crops.
Easier to sit at home and take handouts, play on iPhones, for exercise go on protest marches, vandalise statues.
Definitely something wrong nowadays.

Always makes me smile. If folks didn't protest about things most people would still be serfs at best and slaves at worst. People over the ages have made a lot of sacrifices in life to give humans basic rights including giving up their lives for causes. Would you like to slip back to those days again millersrus?

That's as big a load of *******s as I've ever read on this message board

Im sure youve read worse. Do you ever read back over your own posts.

How are people who wear glasses meant to wear masks in shops anyway?

Their glasses steam up.

They'd be bumping into people which is hardly good for "social distancing".

There are ways of preventing glasses steaming up

Being a glasses wearer and being subject to mandatory mask wearing in work and all shops/public transport...etc. there are 3 solutions and I've tried them all:-

1. Take your glasses off. Not much good for me as I kept bumping into everything/everyone and can't see to read my computer screen.
2. Stop breathing. Not much good for me as I kept passing out.
3. Grin and bear it. I find the longer you have it on the less the problem becomes. Also have a mask that fits tight across the nose helps prevent moist air escaping upwards.

Or

4. Stay at home and do online shopping instead.

So from that I summise that Blackadder's two pencils up the nose will work just about as well as anything else
