Ive bought a pack of three masks from Boots because they were small - medium size and I thought theyd be a better fit. They are quite a good fit but I have put little darts in under the chin part and they are a much better.  I will need them when I travel next month, I dont have to use them here.

I watched the F1 on the weekend, the drivers and presenters constantly adjusted their masks, any virus droplets would be spread on their fingers to anything they touch, In my opinion they were useless and I would expect a better design from these hi tech teams, they all had logos on them but they didnt fit  ???

Same with MotoGP - the racers did their interviews maskless but they are R in the bubble and are tested every day.  Temps in the morning and throat swabs at night.

Leeds United defend open-top bus celebration after stay home plea - but people didn't.  Stay at home  :-\.  Nor did they social distance and not many wore masks.  Where is Leeds Management in this, why not have a good celebration when life is safer?

Oh beam me up Scottie.::)

Went to Waitrose, this morning, to collect my food order.  Never seen it so quiet on a Saturday morning.  Car park only a quarter full and no queue.

Looks like wear a mask has put off a lot of people.

Hello ladies

The most comfortable mask I have is one made from linen rather than cotton. Perhaps anyone struggling to wear  a homemade mask would find a linen one bearable.

Take care ladies.

If you note someone not wearing a mask in a public place please look to see whether they are wearing a lanyard - there is a specific colour that determines that the user has a hidden disability.

I think the lanyards for people who don't have to wear a mask have sunflowers on them.

Tnx.  I wonder if charities should make the public more aware?

Unfortunately it doesn't mean they cannot be refused entry to a shop.  Or be verbal abused.

That's why, although I could claim exemption, I chose not too.  I can just about get away with a quick dash and grab, with a mask (about 5 mins is my upper limit).  Otherwise I shop online.  Also means going to galleries and museums, which I was really looking forward too, are out of the question.

   I could tolerate it in  a museum/gallery but wouldn't stay as long as previous visits. i think i would find it harder in a cinema and my enjoyment of the film would be reduced. I heard that people would be allowed to remove masks to eat popcorn etc. I never buy snacks in a cinema but this could encourage people to get fatter.....!

I feel a bit uncomfortable about people having to mark themselves out with a lanyard about a health issue, to the general public.
