Anyone else feeling crowd-averse? (1 Viewer)

[Janine]

Why you mingling with old folk then.

You looking for a sugar daddy

I'm at that age where I'm not so choosy

 

[Snoopy]

Much as I would love life to go back how it was, I cannot envisage going to motorhome shows with thousands of people milling around and then sitting in crowded entertainment halls watching the shows.

Is it just me?

totally get where your coming from...strange can't wait to be out! Have worked through out the pandemic, but socialising....hmmm different and anxious to be honest

 

[Spriddler]

To be honest, the age group that frequent the folk dance weekends will have had their 2nd jabs a while ago

More likely they'll still be trying to remember where the dances are held.

They have amazing energy! I also belong to a short-tennis club where I am one of the youngest members. No prisoners taken there either!

Short tennis ? All 5ft or less ?

What is 'short tennis'. Do they use a lower net?

Big bats and foam balls on a badminton-size court - think the net is the same height. It was a council fitness initiative for over 55's originally, I think

I'll have you know that I am 5ft 1inch.

I think it’s going to take time to get back to how we were but we are fighters, Bill.

Ive stopped dancing , only becauase my mrs has stopped shooting at my feet , she has run out of ammo for her Glock 19.

 

[tonyidle]

I'm finding that the vaccine gives us a lot more confidence, we have our second one due this week and I can already feel the sap starting to rise.

Too much information. You sure it was for Covid?

 

[tonyidle]

I'll have you know that I am 5ft 1inch.

If you were a bloke that'd make you about 3 foot 6 .

Even before the 19 i wasn't a crowd person. Even more so now.

 

[PaulyP]

I'll have you know that I am 5ft 1inch.

That extra inch makes a difference - so I’m told

 

[ChrisSue]

No, I’m the same, very wary of getting involved with crowds, going to have to cope eventually when back to normal and at Old Trafford with 76,000 others. ️️



May have a few drinks first !!!

We're Oldham Rugby League fans so we're not worried about crowds. They always announce the crowd changes before the match, then do the team changes

We have been extremely diligent throughout lockdown and avoided crowds, followed the rules etc., however as soon as we are allowed we will travel from Thanet to Oxfordshire to see our kids and our Grandsons....we will hug, dance, kiss and cuddle!!

We last saw them in May and we got a picture yesterday of our eldest daughters boys ( 8 and 6) of them wearing new outfits the Beauty Terrorist had sent them.... broke our hearts that we had missed 4” of growth of the pair of them...

When I was a lad Watersheddings had great crowds.

Life goes on,we will never get rid off it.
It's with us now for ever just like flu.
Will end up a jab yearly same as the flu.

 

[Podney]

I'm even becoming possessive and irritated by the groups of lockdown hoi polloi who are using 'my' leafy twittens and rural footpaths. For 30+ years prior to Covid I rarely saw a soul when dog walking. It's also depressing at the amount of litter they leave behind in the normally litter-free fields and hedgerows; poo bags, crisp packets, Covid masks, drinks cans..........

Snap!

They’re coming here from miles around as we’ve bridleways and footpaths. I wouldn’t mind but a lot are dog owners and the stupid dirty bastards leave poo bags lying around.

 

[chaser]

I think you are all very wrong, maybe you personally will be careful but just wait till they open the pubs again, you won't be able to get near them, folks will flood out, you have only to look at the reports of people out at raves and things even now under regulations, so when they are free to go, it will be like it never happened within a month.
Then we will have the next lockdown.

I do hope you’re wrong,but I wouldn’t bet against you! The test will be next autumn/winter but by that time most will have had the vaccine so the effects shouldn’t be too bad.

 

[maison]

Yes, we are also crowd averse nowadays but will definitely get out in the motorhome as soon as we are allowed.

During the “restrictions” early last year we visited a number of C&MC and C&CC sites and felt perfectly safe. Covid precautions were excellent and we always use our on-board facilities rather than site showers/toilets.

We travelled out and about but, if an area seemed crowded we simply moved on to somewhere quieter, and will do so again until we feel that we truly have “come out of the other side “ of the pandemic.
