In my nine weeks in the UK I only once felt any real pressure for masks to be worn, and that was when I went to the hospital to have my aorta looked at - in general daily life it seemed very 'optional', and few masks were evident. Nobody ever showed any interest in my vaccination status. I did, however, keep my interactions to a minimum
I can only say that Covid has been great for us introverts.... Not having to attend work functions, do's, party's, and even general family gatherings has been heaven for me.
I'm quite happy to talk all day to all and sundry at shows, whether I'm there for work or in a private capacity. Indeed I've been to quite a few outdoor shows this year and felt perfectly safe and happy.
Know what you mean, for works 'Christmas do' this year rather than a full blown company dinner dance etc we're having a local beer and curry night just for Stafford office. Although I'm currently working at Willenhall I'll be at the Stafford do.
Or an Omnivert?! (yes, I had to look up ambivert).
Sunshine yellow?
Hope you are feeling OK @BobClay , I found taking paracetamol helped with the banging head and concrete arm, hopefully you don't have any symptoms.(We've noticed.) BANG bunker door slamming shut.
Look at you being all brave from 200 odd miles away.(We've noticed.) BANG ..... (bunker door slamming shut.
Indeed, we were wondering about EGX in the ExCeL this year but decided we didn’t really like the idea of surrounding ourselves with thousands of people already known for dubious hygieneI'm quite happy to talk all day to all and sundry at shows, whether I'm there for work or in a private capacity.

The thought of spending 4 days in a indoor hot, steaming environment with 20000 odd people per day, breathing their germs around though fills me with dread at the moment. Always used to catch some virus or other after the indoor shows as it was...
If you're not happy with socialising, fair enough but I don't understand why you'd put yourself through it, pandemic or no pandemic. Why do something you're uncomfortable with? Decent people and your mates will understand. If anybody doesn't understand, then they're a twat and aren't worth bothering with anyway.

I'm following up with lots of gin, and the odd blood pressure test, as per Dr's orders!
Ahhghhh, you've just reminded me that I haven't done mine this morning.... They make me take 3 readings, but I only have to write down the 2nd & 3rd.....I'm on a strict regime of blood pressure monitoring these days. Two readings in the morning and two in the evening. Happily a bit of technology in the phone app records the readings and works out the averages and prints a pretty graph which I then transfer to an Excel Spreadsheet also with a nice graph and built in warnings about the safety valve lifting. (Engine Room training.)
I'm happy to report that since I've been doing this for nearly a year the old BP has been boringly normal. No boiler seams leaking or gauges creaking with the strain.
