Not great for the three people I know who will have what will feel like a pointless week of SI! Thanks both Katie & LMH!

DrPhleecingD Aug 2021 4:04pm, 13 Aug 2021 53,034 posts	0 DrPhleecingD Just went to the hairdresser. No masks though I was told I could wear one if I wanted. Windows and doors open. Then went to the bank and it was all pretty chilled out, half and half masks and not. All kind of weird! Most people in town eating outdoors though since the weather is ok
DocM Aug 2021 4:07pm, 13 Aug 2021 42,755 posts	0 DocM Lot fewer masks in London than on my last visit. Particularly on the trains
DrPhleecingD Aug 2021 4:20pm, 13 Aug 2021 53,035 posts	0 DrPhleecingD Tubes are still pretty high mask rates, trains a bit less than before, DLR you’re outnumbered if you wear one. Kind of interesting watching things change. It does seem dumb being maskless in a busy pub then wearing one in a huge supermarket
MH Aug 2021 4:21pm, 13 Aug 2021 874 posts	0 MH My hairdresser has retained their mask policy which they outlined before the latest restrictions lifted. The turkish barber a few doors down has never, ever had anyone wearing masks throughout the whole pandemic.

um Aug 2021 4:50pm, 13 Aug 2021 5,033 posts	0 um I did see a suggestion in today's paper that trains should have 'masks mandatory' and 'masks optional (ie no masks)' carriages. Wonder if that would work?
