After quickly reading through a few messages here it struck me that if a whistle blower can start a rumour that we are running out of petrol and cause immediate mass panic..... why can`t we start a little rumour that we are running out of face masks and covid vaccines?
They`d be queuing around the block to get theirs and trying to stash a few extras to take later or to sell on facebook!

I'm sure you are right and in many ways the request to wear a mask is un- enforceable for practical reasons so it has to be by consent. Perhaps a large screen showing a link to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ would help persuade customers . For example as of yesterday there would seem to be 37,960 new cases in the UK .If that isn't enough to persuade people to take basic precautions l guess nothing will
Cases or positive results from a test that as Fauci pointed out, can produce anything?

I travelled on a ferry last week and about 30% of tourists were not wearing masks. An announcement came out over the public address system pointing out that in Scotland it is mandatory to wear a mask on public transport. Most then produced masks from pockets and handbags and put them on. Ten minutes later the masks had disappeared again. What goes through their heads?I'm sure you are right and in many ways the request to wear a mask is un- enforceable for practical reasons so it has to be by consent.

Still dry and windy but forecast is for rain again.
It is getting difficult to get out of bed these days as it is still dark when I get up and outside temp was 7C this morning.
Yesterday turned out not to bad a day in the end and I got the trike out for a short bimble around local bits of street just for the exercise but I can see from my window a shower approaching just now.
Tomorrow seems to be more promising but I have a flu jab at 0930 which interrupts my normal routine of getting out early before traffic builds up.
I did notice yesterday that there seemed to be less traffic passing but have not been further to see what the filling station situation is like. We have local tanker drivers here who bring fuel from the mainland so we are dependent on outside supplies. Fuel is more expensive here anyway by usually 10p per litre but the tourists will now be filling their tanks here before heading off rather than the usual arriving with full tanks and leaving with enough to get to a mainland filling station.

Why apologise, equally valid opinions.I think that is very true , but it just frustrates me , all the signs are up and even a security guard watching people go in and out but no the idiots who don't wear mask's are allowed in
This is only my opinion and sorry if it doesn't meet with yours
I gave a possible reason based on what I've been told, by shop staff/security.
I agree with you, they shouldn't be allowed in either. Thinking about others has gone out the window now. And it's nothing to do with the last few days either.

Alas, this is so. A small ceremony was held as it was consigned to the deep.
It's been in daily and not especially gentle use for about six or seven years.

The new ones aren't a patch on the old ones. Although 6 - 7 years isn't that old.

Morning.
I have been out tidying up the hedge clippings from the weekend .
Whilst I was out there I could hear a bird quietly singing away in the bushes. It was like a very quiet Skylark. At first I couldn't see it or recognise the song. Eventually a Robin popped up! I can only assume it was him singing away to himself.
