Many of the 'rules' around Covid19 seem to be wide open to individual interpretation. We have 2 Co-op shops within a mile of us. At one you have to hand over the basket and any bag to pack into, and stand back 2 metres. Once the items have been rung through the till and the bag filled, the assistant has to stand back while we pay (card only) and collect our bags. There are tall screens between the staff and customers.
At the other shop, you hand over the basket but have to pack your own bag with the assistant often handling the items direct to you. Their card machines are also in such a position that it's sometimes necessary to lean around the screens to use them.
Unfortunately you can’t let people into a public toilet when it dirty, during COVID they need special cleaning, PPE to be worn, the whole thing disinfected after every person, will people wait? No, certainly not down here in Cornwall they’d be riots, you’ve no idea of what it’s like here. I certainly wouldn’t want to clean a toilet block with a queue of holiday makers. It isn't just a case of cloth round the seat and brush on the drapes, it’s a risky business.Â
And don't forget those who 'd pinch every loo roll they can get their hands on. I've seen folk walk out of public toilets carrying toilet rolls which they didn't carry in .
The public toilets here are most definitely not cleaned constantly. They are clean but that’s it. I do accept that there is more demand for clean toilets at the moment but surely that could be arranged. The economy is in terrible trouble and holiday makers and day trippers are a source of revenue that needs to be catered for so clean the toilets open the toilets and maybe even provide extra toilets so that struggling businesses  can survive. Shops pubs and restaurants have staff toilets couldn’t they be used? Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I think a lot of people would rather avoid public toilets right now even if they are clean. I just wish people would get into the habit of burning the tissue paper or taking it with them rather than leave it to pile up behind every bush and tree. A squirt of hand sanitiser will fuel the fire nicely. It's normal behaviour in other countries but no one seems to do it here.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Been in our local shopping centre today nobody seemed to be avoiding the toilets they were busy. I think if you are nervous about using g them you would be less likely to travel to beauty spots. Nobody wants to clean up human waste or use a field to defecate so local councils need to get their act together.Â
Having certain issues, when I need to go, covid is not an issue. For this reason,l avoid places where toilets are not available or would be in heavy demand. This could be quite limiting but BV, l avoided such places anyway.

Some residents of holiday resorts would probably say they're just the thing to use.
I've got to ask though - what does 'brush on the drapes' mean? Curtains in public toilets 🤢? Or is it a typo?
