If it wasn't for the pandemic I wouldn't care what she did or who with.but the fact is we are in a pandemic and she could still get it or pass it on.and the woman she was with was covered in a rash!! I try very hard not to tell her off I know she's not a child.but it's against the law to take someone in a car...
Well I don’t think I’ve been around quite as long as you two ... but i will be 70 next birthday 🤯 and I still have the ethos I was brought up with, of doing things for the greater good and putting the well-being of others first.
I don’t have any grandchildren so it’s nothing to do with my own genetic interest.
It’s just that I know that’s how peaceful and cohesive societies work best and I’m not so far gone yet that I’m likely to act totally out of character and put my own wants and desires first.

That's fine - but that's your opinion. Can't you see that where you may feel nothing really matters, others feel the opposite. So is it ever 'right' for anyone to do whatever they like, because they don't care anymore - when those action directly impact someone else who may care?
Well said @Dovefromabove and @Liriodendron, like @pansyface I too have abided by the rules for the preservation of society because that is how it should be. Just not as surprised nowadays at the behaviour of others.

A local landmark here in Bristol. Pitch and Pay Lane, Stoke Bishop "A wooden stile at the end of the lane leading from Stoke Bishop to the Downs was the line of segregation between the plague-infested city and the countryside. "The villagers brought produce to the stile and pitched it over to the townsfolk who threw back their coins in payment."
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

Very eloquent @pansyface and a view I can identify with totally. No life threatening illness here, just many decades of living in this world.

When I joined the Brownies, rather a long time ago, I promised to "think of other people before myself". It's still a good principle...
Mine deserves a good thump. I'll tell him it's research.
