I thought it was just me— old lady of the generation that respected any authority ,even without any surveillance.
The generation which at school could be relied on to get on with our work quietly staying our our seats etc when teacher had to leave the room .
Who never took off your school hat even when in the second bus home from school
Who would have seen us without our hats ?
But that was not the point .
We obeyed.
Things have changed so much ,but I totally agree ,the mixed messages, very confused limits , conducive to flaunting the rules .
It is not good ,not good at all.
However , I will stay in lockdown ,that is the easiest for me.
I truly am glad I am not young with a family.
But I never thought my last years would be without my family , they are obeying the strictest conditions ,even though for one a thriving flourishing business is in jeopardy.
And that means a loyal skilled team who are like part of the family will go down as well.
Things ,however mixed and confusing ,
are not helped by selfish people ,the surge in Bolton ,the highest per 100,000 in the country , has been traced to three pubs and returning holidaymakers who did not self isolate on return.
Those sort of incidents prove lockdown was eased far too soon.
Horse gone and stable door !
