@Rocking Ros Rose posted:wonder when this was made - no one is wearing a mask

yes true kaytee
@Baz posted:November this year it said ….but I wonder if Omicron has put paid to it now ….
damn Omicron...we just heard they cancelled the Christmas swim we always go and watch, so charity loses out on thousands. And local panto cancelled, so son lost out on a job after Christmas. 
But now they say most omicron is just a cold now.
@Rocking Ros Rose posted:yes true kaytee
She said they wanted to make it special because last Xmas they were lockdown
@Baz posted:It said November 2021
wow must be in a bubble like kaytee said
@Kaytee posted:No idea Ros….maybe 2019 …..or they could be in a bubble or something
could be, think they used to have work bubbles.
things have changed so much, its hard to remember what rules we had and when...
but if you are an MP, looks like they just ignored all rules.

well spotted, so Nov 2021 lines up then.
@Baz posted:Awww
what a shame, hopefully if the latest news today is right, it will be mild.
@Rocking Ros Rose posted:wow must be in a bubble like kaytee said
Well there weren’t any regulations in November ….in fact there still aren’t in England !

awww shame your son missed out on his job think Draky is just trying to keep everyone safe and protecting the NHS but it can be frustrating at times

yes I forget bazzy - we have always had to wear masks here -I struggled in Wirral with that tbh
@Baz posted:Well there weren’t any regulations in November ….in fact there still aren’t in England !
good, too many pointless regulations introduced here again...
cancelling an annual charity swim due to government regulation is stupid.
As is, having to wear masks to go in the pub then take it off when seated.
And a £60 fine if you don't work from home, but you can still go in the pub/cafe to work. 
@Kaytee posted:Oh really?…..must have been in a bubble then…..we’re we allowed not to wear masks then……I’m getting all confused about the rules🤣🤣🤣
in novemebr yes - I know because of Wirral but I kept mine on
@Baz posted:Yes, but they will still be in isolation after Xmas ….even if none of the rest of the family get it .
Aaaww what a shame.
@Rocking Ros Rose posted:awww shame your son missed out on his job
yes very frustrating now as it has gone on for so long.

Tbh Mollie, I think Wales and Scotland have it right …it’s England that’s got it wrong …..

yes its strict here but prefer that tbh but it can be frustrating at times and I am near England so can just pop over the border
@Baz posted:No masks then 🤣🤣🤣🤣they were only reinstated two weeks ago 🤣🤣🤣
gosh how complicated this all is...
they never got rid of the mask thing here, but many have got fed up of it now. I am guessing a lot of people are like us and have had covid already.
@Baz posted:Awww
One of Miss KTs friends little girl has it…..got a few sniffles……and the parents of the friend both had it,but one felt like she had a cold and the other a bit of a cough…..but they’re free now…..l
@*mollie* posted:yes very frustrating now as it has gone on for so long.
@Baz posted:Tbh Mollie, I think Wales and Scotland have it right …it’s England that’s got it wrong …..
at least we know you are supposed to wear one, as they never got rid of the rule.
doesn't bother me too much, I only leave it off if a place is near empty.
@Baz posted:That’s one spoilt doggie
the real boss of the place.

good that sounds like a hopeful example that it is weakening. Fingers crossed.
