    At least I’ll own a telly when I’m retired. Of course it will be taken off me once I can’t look after myself.

    A proper sign of the times and no mistake. Even the length of a metre as been reduced due to the lockdown. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    So London, why does it seem to be hit more than other areas?

    In that case I will be a peasant for about another 8-12 years until the mortgage is paid off. Then will I be middle class? I'll shop at Waitrose and everything. I'll go to Worthing instead of Bognor, buy some corduroy slacks instead of jeans and eat a Bills instead of Nandos.

    You mean I've paid a mortgage of one sort or another for 27 years give or take and the fake flu will see me out on the streets? What about all that tax I've been paying since my Saturday jobs and paper round? I feel like such a schmuck. I should have done a series of menial jobs and lived off the state all my life and sat back and chuckled at every greenhorn struggling with their lot.

    The London Mayor is trying to force the Government to make wearing masks mandatory on public transport in the capital.

    Not long ago he was saying there was zero risk of catching the coof on public transport.

    Expect to see police dragging people off tubes and buses arresting and handing out fines to people that don't have a mask.

    Next it will be no mask no shopping for food .

    What if you can't get a mask? Will a paisley bandanna do instead?

    Economy contracting by 35% but at least some folk have been spared an extremely unlikely early grave.

    The price we will all pay for this will make the last 10 years recovery from the financial crash seem like a walk in the park.

    Horrendous decision all round.

    See the death stats are out via ONS, definite surge in deaths but Covid only accounts for 60% of the increase, so what might be causing the other 40% of deaths? The lockdown itself?

    And still no evidence that the lockdown works - absolutely zilch.

    You will probably be stigmatised by fellow passengers arrested and fined.

    It would be easier to hand the masks out at stations but that would be too easy.
    You would be far more likely to get sick from repeat wearing and touching the same mask
