I think it highly likely that many will continue to wear their masks in their chosen way far into the future.....and why not. Exactly . A seatbelt has never saved my life ( never been in a crash) , a safety harness has never saved me from falling while working at heights ( never fallen ) but its better to be safe than sorry .

Perhaps we should make Health and Safety voluntary for a while to increase the IQ of the gene pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_DADDY Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It's all too wishy-washy for me. Restrictions Could be lifted. Social distancing Could be axed. Mask wearing Could be made a personal choice. Working from home Should be unnecessary. I hope I'm wrong but at this point I'm just preparing for the next lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno - I was always somewhat horrified by the tap 'oil big mouths who claimed they were better drivers when they'd has a few pints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, seat belts are proven after a series of crash tests and use over a number of years "a face covering" which is the Governments mandate (it doesn't evem have to be a mask) has zero evidence that its anymore effective than not wearing one, you might as well a pair of knickers over your face. Roll on the 19th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not much you can do about that member of the public, all the mask bedwetters will be seething at what has just been announced on BBC One. Cheers for that matey. Yeah not much I can do about the member of the public. I guess I'll just have to hope she realises her mistake and doesn't do it again. My little girl is a tough cookie, she trains 6 days a week and trains hard. She can hold her own in a boxing ring full of adult men and she can hit like a bloke but when it comes to social settings she's as fragile as glass.
