They are not protecting themselves at all are they.
"You may want to keep yourself more safe"
is VERY different to
"You are breaking the law"
Especially when we are seeing parties and revellers that don't give a damn
Those workers in the shops are doing their level best to keep the economy and "normal life" going - we should be respectful and NOT place them in any way in the same category as those who do not care who they harm

Shop staff do not make the rules nor are they breaking any. Often their duties include lifting and handling which can be difficult with a mask - they are just doing their job as they have been told to in difficult circumstances.
The respectful way would be to concentrate on the idiots and fools that are spoiling it for all the rest and leave those that are clearly following the rules to get on with their job supporting us all

The misconception I read on here is that face masks are to protect the wearer. The fact is that they are there to attempt to prevent potentially infected wearers spreading the disease to others.
I agree, that shop workers on the floor are walking around without masks and may, in that way, be potentially spreading the coronavirus disease to customers, regardless of whether their employer assures us that they have taken precautions to protect their staff.
Yet another loophole which the government seem either unaware of or are not interested in.

Up to 30 can go Grouse Shooting together.
Yes, as we said in the Hunting thread:
" Grouse shooting in Scotland also exempt from Covid ‘rule of six’
Following the news this afternoon that grouse shooting in England has been made exempt from the Covid ‘rule of six’ (see here), the Scottish Government has now confirmed grouse shooting in Scotland is also exempt, according to Chris Musson, Scottish Political Editor at The Sun."
The posh knobs and gentry evading the rules as usual.
