  • I was out all day yesterday, 16 July, everything was open.  

    On the buses the official line was masks by law not by choice.  Reality was half of passengers didn't bother.

    Pubs were open, crowded, outside and in people standing and drinking with no masks.

    People driving in cars with masks under their chins, not around mouth and throat.

    I, however, will continue to wear a mask until I use up my stock.

    On Wednesday I have an appointment at the job centre with my universal credit job advisor, I will attend and follow the official instructions insisting on masks, it should be interesting how others dress and behave.

  • yeah, job centers i never liked for germs as it was anyway.... not to sound snobby but the state of some of the people that go in there, yeah, i always used my sleeve to touch door handles even before corona was a thing in there lol

  • not to sound snobby but the state of some of the people that go in there,

    Yes. That is snobbish and will offend many people, not me.

    I'm unemployed and unemployable for many reasons, one is being unable to fit in anywhere, not even with people in job centres.  I've been thrown out of jobs, training courses, for long term unemployed etc.

    I, however agree that the standard of hygiene of people in job centres is deplorable.
