:Bllocks: I refer you back to my comment re seatbelts. They (our democratically elected government, (and, no, I didn't vote for them.)) made it a law: it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not, if you fail to comply you'll be fined: end of. The reason it has to be compulsory is because some idi...

Not saying that's necessarily the motive, here, but...we don't know. And on the other hand - as far as we know - this delivery driver had ne...

I am humbled by all your kind replies. Thanks. I have been here before so know how this plays out. The straws pile up on the camel's back until it just takes one more to break it. I fail to see there is a problem until my mind blows, I just assume it is what everybody has to go through on a daily b...

"Keep buggering on"

Be kind to yourself.

Surely it's far more reasonable to ask the delivery driver to put a mask on and to only take further action if he refuses? Of course. But, had he been warned before?
