My thoughts are I will continue wearing a mask around other people shops and bars.

Me too. But unfortunately not everyone will, and it takes others wearing masks to protect you.

So true! I was just reading another thread about this topic and it is clear that a lot of people will ditch their masks. So selfish. I really wish Boris would keep mask wearing compulsory; opening up everything does not mean lose the masks, it's more of a reason to wear them.

You have to do what's right for you and what you're comfortable with. It's a bit like when you're motorway driving only you can control and be responsible for your actions but be aware you will encounter a twerp! Personally, I'm with you especially on public transport and more populated areas and shops.

Every man/woman for themselves!!

I will follow Prof Chris Whitty's example on mask wearing.

"Prof Whitty highlighted three scenarios where he would continue to wear a mask: in “any situation which is indoors and crowded”; when "required to by any competent authority”; and out of “common courtesy” if “someone else was uncomfortable if I didn't wear a mask”.

Agreed, but unfortunately there are a lot of people who do need the government to tell them how to protect others. Otherwise they woul not have made it mandatory in the first place.

I too will carry on wearing the mask in shops etc. Since I have been wearing one I have not had a cold either. I did test positive over Christmas due to someone not being responsible and cancelling their hair appointment. Grrrr!
