There are certainly bins in the Waitrose Car Park here too. I think it’s just a case of people not using them...

I agree about people looking scary with masks on rayard.

I’ve just been for a walk down the High Street here in Hertfordshire, and it was a bit like stepping into some futuristic episode of Dr Who!

And who do they think is going to pick up all of their litter?

People seems so scary now with masks on hoods up and glasses which go dark (like mine).


Next thing is we'll be asked to wear name tags - as you say with masks, glasses that darken or sunglasses we won't recognise each other. We are all going to be walking past friends or relatives.  ;D

I lost weight during lockdown

If, while out shopping, you meet someone you haven't seen since pre-lockdown, they won't recognise the svelte, masked person in new clothes.

Name tag with photo, or just a photo. How do bus-passes work now?

Just thought, as we have to stay 2 metres apart, they will have to be large tags so you can see them clearly.

After my experience yesterday with hearing aids, glasses and mask all supposedly fitting behind the ear my tag should say,  I can hear or see or breathe, but never all three at once.

I don’t like the new normal, or at least I will not be doing much shopping  ;D
