Would pubs and restaurants actually lose much custom? It would be a hassle having to check everyone of course but no different from checking id for underage drinkers. That's not really the point though is it. Depending on your type of establishment you might have to check 1 in 20 customers maybe to see if they are underage. This will involve checking everyone. Not so bad for small community pubs that have regulars but your city centre places will end up with giant queues while staff check, also not everywhere employs or can afford to employ door staff to check. It's utter nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voice overs and whole "what are we like" Glasgae patter routine is shite. Have to agree with this, she hosted an event I went to and was actually quite funny off the cuff and interacting with people. Can't even bring myself to watch the videos any more though as the cringe is so strong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Sense finally seen at univerities Quote When indoors, unless you are exempt, face coverings must be worn at all times except when eating or drinking, or when seated at your office desk where a minimum distance of 1m is maintained. At the start of semester 1, again, unless exempt, face-coverings will be required in all teaching settings, the library and our study spaces. Students should not remove their face-covering during an on-campus teaching session or whilst seated in either the library or our learning commons. However, staff who are delivering a class and are suitably physically distanced from their students may remove their face coverings if they wish for the duration of the lecture once all students are seated. Whilst we cannot enforce their use, we will be encouraging those who are exempt to wear a sunflower lanyard or apply for an exemption card. So the earlier idea that I would stand with a mask on in a huge lecture hall has been binned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About a dozen of the girls had a house / hot tub party a week past Saturday. Since then 7 of them have developed classic symptoms of a cold. They all did LFTs all negative however 4 of the seven refused to accept that they were negative and booked PCRs, again all returned negative. Three of that 4 still refuse to accept that they don't have it and yesterday booked another PCR and despite all 3 again testing negative they have decided to take their kids out school (despite them having zero symptoms) to isolate with them (we all WFH anyway) absolutely bat shit crazy stuff. 12 LFTs, 7 PCRs no positive results yet kids taken out if school and holed up indoors with their parents for absolutely no reason. Weird thing was they didn't appear to have isolated ahead of their original PCR results ! One of my mates his wife.son and dil all positive last Monday. Gs tested positive along with two class mates (primary).all 4 adults double jabbed. They survived the last 18 month plus. Without as much as a cold. Then the schools went back. Btw the gs doesn't even show any symptoms. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like when Rangers fans claim they're the most successful club in the world when no one else in the world thinks or acknowledges that. It gets (sadly for Rangers supporting weegies I'm sure) close to Irish levels of believing their own hype as friendly, hilariously funny etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite all the talk on this, I'm still not getting why the unvaccinated are a threat to anyone other than maybe themselves ?? We've surely established that having 1 jag, 2 jags or whatever still means you can and no doubt will transmit the disease to others, so what's the issue ??

Not that i agree with it but, it could be the thinking that if you have a big superspreading event like a crowded sweaty nightclub, then who gives a f**k if they all get infected as 99% should having nothing worse than the sniffles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's stretching things to believe they would enforce vaccine passports. This is going to be yet another in a long line of expensive, time wasting and blatantly stupid ideas which will just piss everyone off, create polarising arguments and won't achieve the objectives anyway. the mask exemption is on medical grounds including mental illness, which in the uk are considered private & confidential matters, Instead of businesses being held responsible for ensuring compliance , like they are with the smoking ban, they were actually told specifically NOT to challenge those not wearing a face covering or to take a simply "i'm exempt" at the persons word How many times have you seen a pub allow someone to smoke? in 15 years not i've never once saw it, not in the middle of nowhere, not in a rough as arseholes spit & sawdust hovel, not even during a lock-in. if the business is going to be held responsible for non compliance then you can bet that they will be enforcing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I'm missing something but it just seems all rather pointless to me. I think it's mainly to encourage vaccination rather than any direct health benefit. Could reduce case numbers a bit. Newquay in Cornwall shot from one of the lowest to the highest in the UK after a couple of big festivals and Bank Holiday weekend. Thankfully it's dropped right down again, I'm going there tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is good (Leitch was giving it the big 'un about maybe hitting 14k by last week), but like in England they aren't going to go down if we keep searching for people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
