    So how tempted am I to go back to all the petrol stations who have asked me to remove my helmet when trying to pay for fuel?!

    I mean, no pay at pump option, so I walk in clearly with debit card in hand and they say "sorry we're not serving you unless you remove your helmet".

    Sorry, are you asking me to remove my face covering? ;)

    I politely ask the staff if they'd like me to remove my helmet when I enter the shop. Not had to remove it since, been doing this for about 15 years.

    Don’t take mine off, I’ll normally do pay at pump but I don’t feel the need to take it off, so I don’t. Not had an issue for years. If asked I would remove and not use again but now I would just laugh.

    I always removed mine before lockdown out of politeness and I asked the question after lockdown and they said they would prefer a mask
    So it’s still off with the helmet and on with the mask
    It doesn’t bother me because that’s their rules
    What made me laugh was out today and stopped at a garage and 5 people went in with no masks on and then people will be moaning “we Are back in lockdown again”
    I wonder why:rolleyes:

    I work in an office where the public are allowed access, despite have signs on the door saying 'No face covering No admittance ' people come strolling in without wearing a mask, they have that stupid I've done wrong expression on their face but I don't care what is it with some people ?

    I would so love to say fu** off and get a mask, but think my look says it all.

    Have you noticed that the people who don't wear masks are also the ones who stand in the middle of aisles/walkways?

    I’m not an anti masker by any stretch, but, I can’t see any correlation between cases and the “safety “ measures....if anything things are getting worse which points to the fact that distancing, masks etc are doing fuck all to stop the spread. :(

    Last week I went past the local secondary school at kicking out time, There was hundreds all out at the same time, no masks no distancing and to cap it off I nearly ran over one, None of them had a care in the world.

    What makes me laugh is that on the weekly shop, 9 out of 10 not wearing masks are from the communities that claim they are most at risk and are having millions spent on studies to work out why they are having a higher incidence of Covid.

    Authorities could save a fortune and spend a few days wandering around the aisles in Sainos to get their answer.
