Face masks

[Hammerhead]

I've been in 3 shops today and I was the only one wearing a face ask, the assistants had no coverings have the rules changed

No, the rules have not changed. Sadly people do not seem to care any more.

I can assure you that Mr Pound has not changed. Yesterday I mistakenly left my mask hanging from my ear and within seconds the woman taking temps and another assistant called out to me to put my mask on. My pharmacist has tightened up again and now has barrier just inside the door. However, some cafe owners pull up a mask if a foreigner enters, but totally ignores it if a local enters. All assistants in small Ilelli still wear them all the time. Starlings at our end, are if and but. The men sorting out veg have them hanging from their chins and they are filthy, but check out girls wear them constantly. The Government needs to make another pronouncement pdq.

I never thought that I would say this but it is time to Name & Shame if any place of business is not adhering to the rules! Especially, restaurants/cafes/bars should have regular checks without warning.
