False equivalence; face coverings are a personal choice. It is not the same thing. You clearly misunderstand the concerns that have been expressed in this thread.At no point did I suggest anything. What I said was if a sign saying WEAR A MASK gets you all upset then signs saying NO SMOKING or NO ALCHOHOL must also have the exact same effect?
Indeed and as I've said before, the way to achieve that is for wording to be appropriate, for example "The wearing of face coverings is optional; please respect others' personal choice" and we could then, as you say, get on with our lives.I wonder what percentage of posts made in this forum since it was created has been on the subject of face masks. Never a day goes by when there isn’t rage about a sign somewhere suggesting people where a mask.
People who want to wear a mask will wear a mask, and those who don’t want to, won’t, and we will all get on with our lives.
So, I wonder why won't LNER do this?!
That isn't acceptable either; see above.About 90% these days I'd imagine. Mostly by people who will run away in hysterical fear because it says WEAR A MASK instead of Pwetty pwease wear a masky wasky.
No-one is suggesting that; you have misunderstood our concerns.Then if you don't agree with the sign on the trains then don't wear a sodding mask! Ignore the sign! Nobody is holding a gun to anyones head and saying you have to wear one no matter what.
