I had to take a trip down to Bishop today to pick up some paperwork from the house and I was genuinely surprised by the lack of social distancing on buses! 

Everybody standing together at the bus stop, the 49 was borderline packed with everyone huddled together in the first few rows with only the odd person making the trek up the steps!. 

In Gateshead Interchange everybody seemed to be sitting next to each other inside so I just stood outside away from everyone (and probably got sunburn because of it!)

I mean, I'm not usually one to care about my own wellbeing, but at least I'm trying to make an effort with the social distancing (not that I go near people anyway!). In Aldi someone pushed in between me and the trolley to pick up a block of cheese, couldn't have been more than 30cm away from my face, even without a global pandemic that's not very pleasant! 

It's mostly the older people who don't seem to care.

Plus, the Arriva 6 driver was reluctant to accept my GNE ticket, and when she did she acted as though it was out the goodness of her heart and not a company policy!
