    So awful @LG_.  So sorry to hear of your experience.  It just seems so wrong.

    I have a number of loved ones with “pre existing” conditions .... not least of which a 21 year old asthmatic daughter.    Wonder where the line is drawn?

    The thread has gone a bit of a different way now but I wanted to suggest to @Nanny Beach that you might try cutting up a pair of tights for mask elastic. I couldn't find elastic when I made mine so I used strips from an old pair of tights and they work quite well in my opinion. Softer than elastic and I haven't had any problems with my glasses.

    @Nanny Beach Thin strips of t-shirt cut and stretched work okay too.. especially with a bead on there to make them 'adjustable' behind the ears.

    I’ll just explain that my post was in response to someone being unkind regarding the vulnerable elderly ... the post has since been removed so my post is out of context. 

     I’d hate anyone to think I was poking fun at people’s concerns for vulnerable loved ones.

    A dilemma. We will be attending soon the graveside interment of my late aunt's ashes. It will be a family only affair but there will be quite a lot of us (not over 30 though). Some of us will be travelling quite a distance so will need lunch. If we book separate table (inside as it's likely to rain) under different names in the two local pubs/restaurants, as it's not an official 'wake',  are we or are we not allowed to say hello or talk to each other across the tables? I'm a bit confused.

  • My mums 86 my dad has dementia.they are always going out for tea.i have to let them get on with it.but it's hard.they were masks and give their details.i keep my distance when I see them.they just dont get it 
  • @the tidy gardener I think in your parents’ case it’s up to the restaurant staff ... if the customers are abiding by the rules then that’s ok ... but if you then feel safer by keeping your distance from them that’s up to you too. 

    @Lizzie27 🤷‍♀️ 🤗

    To comply you need to find other pubs nearby or on the way, so that each venue had a max. 6 people from the party. If you all book separate tables at the two local pubs I guess you need to act as if you are separate parties while you're there, otherwise you may be chucked out, as the pub would be in contravention of the rules if they served you.

    I think that would be fine @pansyface 😃 
    ... my understanding is that the problem with speaking to folk on other tables is that you would need to ‘project your voice’ and therefore the virus would travel further. 

    BSL needs no projection ... although ‘long distance reading glasses’ can be useful 🤓
