Had the misfortune to have to go into town this morning and the number of people without masks in Golden Square Mall was frightening, and the vast majority under 30. Why can’t the idiots who operate the Mall sort themselves out and do their bit to protect customers?! Not a Mall worker in sight all the way round and the situation in the bus station was no better. It’s little wonder that numbers are increasing with the number of people who are either deniers or simply don’t care about others. Needless to say it will some time before we go in again.
