Definition Of "A Shop"?

[diddlydo]

With reference to the edict to wear masks in shops as from tomorrow I'd like to know what constitutes a "shop". Banks? Building Societies, walkways between 2 streets but covered and with shops on either side, libraries (as they often sell things too) cafés with a counter which sells cakes etc??? Has anyone thought this through?

Oi missy, it was never proven ;-)

You really do struggle, don’t you diddly. It must make your life so difficult. Here’s a suggestion. If you’re going inside a building that isn’t your own house wear a mask. Problem solved:

Knocking sjop?

[Mamyalynne]

Dat's a Svedish one ;-)

[sunny-dave]

Is that in Finlnad mamya?

[gness]

I told Dave it was Svedish....he said...Noway.

[Barsel]

There are definitely things for sale in a knocking sjop.

[Mamyalynne]

Ja.

[tonyav]

Yes Barsel, usually involves a visit to the Clop clinic though.

[gness]

Barsel and Tony seem to know a lot about Knocking Sjops..... ;-)

Under the new Regs, The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Wearing of Face Coverings) (England) Regulations 2021,

'“shop” means any building, room or other indoor establishment which is open to the public in whole or in part and is used wholly or mainly for the purposes of retail sale or hire of goods or services;'

Evening, Corby. All well with you and the town….bar the leaking Cube roof again?

[THECORBYLOON]

I didn't know it had a roof garden and had had a £600,000 repair to the roof after it started leaking.

[THECORBYLOON]

Happy Saint Andrew's Day, by the way.

[gness]

Well! I didn’t know it had a roof garden. Explains all the leaks maybe.
Happy St. Andrew’s Day to you too…..x

If anyone's not sure whether or not to put a mask on or not because they're not sure whether the space they're in is a shop or not I'd say just put one on and stop being such a deekhead.

[lady-janine]

Don't forget goat sheds. I'm sure tony will not.

[tonyav]

I'm sure tony will not.

Mask is at the ready, your ladyship ;-)
