Not something I was aware of...

Stephen Nolan harassing people not wearing a mask in a garage forecourt. Seeing a thread on twitter about the garage giving him permission so a lot of ones saying they'll be boycotting

People have been going for years from here to Budapest to get the gnashers done.

Some of the teeth jobs people have had done is brutal looking. It's like Shergar smiling at you.

I assume Nolan didnt tell the garage what he was actually doing and only asked if he could use the premises for filming.

Whatever of the garage/permission or your opinion of big Nolan, the mask issue needed highlighting. It obviously led to new legislation, so that is a good thing.

Have no time for Nolan, but what is the problem with wearing a mask into the shop.  If it contributes to a XX% reduction in the spread of infection; if social distancing contributes XX% reduction; handwashing and basic hygiene, x%; etc.  All these small things come together to reduce the risk. 

The disease didn't spread during lockdown because people generally adhered to the guidance.  It's spreading now and you can clearly see an increased complacency and some seriously selfish attitudes.  The same people will know all about it in 6 weeks if intensive care facilities cannot cope.

Maybe the store owner was made fully aware of what Nolan was doing and they support his campaign due to the high level of ignorance of a minority of people going into their stores. The staff in those stores wear face masks

What really fcuks me off is people walking past the sanitiser at the door of the shops. Every shop has them but people have to actively go out of their way to to not sanitise their hands.

WTF is wrong with society when you can't put a bit of sanitiser on your hands?

Maybe he forgot it ? Has happened to me a few times. Maybe the fella is exempt

The guy came out wearing a mask though.

I really don't think legislation was changed on the basis of Nolan being a tube.

My other half prefers to use her own sanitiser, which she keeps in the car. She says it's safer.  I think she's OTT but there you go.

I keep sanitizer in the car also, self filling petrol stations and other appointments that may bring you into an area that my not have it available!

In work at the start i was going, this is flipping annoying, few months in and I don't even think about it, the routine is what it is. Rather that than re-decorating
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

It was funny the guy walking away from Nolan down the street, then realising , he'd have to walk back to his car !

Those miserable b^^^rds Stainsburys are the worst for supplying stuff in their garages, no sanitiser available at all and always running out of gloves at pumps.

Worth noting that there were no masks worn during lockdown.
