Have a mate with a positive antibody test - which means he has had it but he has no memory of ever being even slightly ill, so he wouldn't be in scope for track and trace - but I'm assuming yours was a Covid test not the antibody test. If you were tested cos you were ill and it was positive then it's pretty scandalous that you weren't contacted for T&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you wanting to get this thread shut down as well Paul? This is nothing like the old politics thread and perhaps if you are so sensitive to any reference to the government, the off-topic section of the forum is not for you? Just a thought!

CWC1983 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Tesco Extra in Loughborough today, I reckon 10% were wearing masks. No significant demographic on the maskless. All ages, males and females, families with kids. Hopefully people start to adhere before the official start date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking to my folks (aged 75, 80) via zoom tonight and they reckon its 10% of people not wearing masks where they live. They look across the border and are glad they don't live down south.

I bought a new wok in Wilkos - £4.50 for a small non-stick one (although removing the glue from the bloody sticker inconveniently placed inside the pan proved problematic - soap, boiling water, alcohol were all defeated, acetone was a score-draw but hot sunflower oil for 15 minutes proved decisive). For the sticker, try WD40 or hairspray, works a treat normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quickly worked out that the glue was lipid, so basically any oil-based solvent should help. Heating sunflower oil in the pan worked really well - the glue just floated off. I've used the wok twice now, and it's beginning to season really well. Not bad for less than a fiver. Being tiny, it's great for onions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly - I suspect mask wearing will have a negative affect on businesses staying open. Less people will shop and thus more jobs will be lost.

Before I get chastised, I have no issues with wearing a mask Well yes, there will be a number of people reluctant to go out. But I don't think the masks are part of that problem. There will be a big push towards people moving away from high street shopping and towards online, and hopefully there will be a big push towards getting shops digitally prepared. But I think that's happening already. I was presuming the OP was talking about the seemingly US centric view of there being some inherent human rights restrictions in making people wear masks, and the customer base will be more militant in their refusal to wear them.

I'm all in favour of anti-maskers staying at home. Hopefully they will do so forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
