JKrampus chameleon Dec 2020 3:02pm, 12 Dec 2020 13,012 posts	0 JKrampus chameleon Always thought of it as "another thing" rather than think. Not that it's a commonly used phrase, not heard it since I was in school, I think. I've always thought of it as quite an unpleasant phrase - both because of the connotations of violence, but also it's quite cocky in my head...

ChrisHB Dec 2020 7:51pm, 15 Dec 2020 20,255 posts	0 ChrisHB Does this not mean the opposite of what it probably intends to say? Compare "If you are not singing or dancing, you are not welcome at my party." Does it also mean that if you have a migraine or indigestion, they will send you away?
LindsD Dec 2020 9:28pm, 15 Dec 2020 43,405 posts	0 LindsD I think it's a word order and punctuation issue
LindsD Dec 2020 9:29pm, 15 Dec 2020 43,406 posts	0 LindsD Comma after 'well' would sort it
LindsD Dec 2020 9:29pm, 15 Dec 2020 43,407 posts	0 LindsD And 'unwell' with no 'not' wd be better.
Columba Dec 2020 9:58pm, 15 Dec 2020 20,635 posts	0 Columba Yes: "If you are feeling unwell... You will not be permitted entry".
ChrisHB Dec 2020 9:58pm, 15 Dec 2020 20,256 posts	0 ChrisHB agree with all of those, Linds.
ChrisHB Dec 2020 9:59pm, 15 Dec 2020 20,257 posts	0 ChrisHB Just took me a long wait outside the shop to realise there was something wrong with it.
Columba Dec 2020 9:59pm, 15 Dec 2020 20,636 posts	0 Columba Alternatively, "If you are not feeling well, or if you are experiencing symptoms of covid 19, you will not be permitted entry".
