Title: Marylebone rail workers 'held lockdown baby shower' at closed station patisserie Post by: eXPassenger on January 19, 2021, 17:17:46 In November, during lockdown, station staff at Marylebone held a non socially distanced baby shower. How stupid can you get? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55717243 Title: Re: Marylebone rail workers 'held lockdown baby shower' at closed station patisserie Post by: TaplowGreen on January 19, 2021, 17:48:51 It's rare I say this, but words fail me.

Prosecution should be considered IMHO.

(Like the brain-dead man who parked his car on a level crossing.)
Title: Re: Marylebone rail workers 'held lockdown baby shower' at closed station patisserie Post by: grahame on January 20, 2021, 11:03:29 The Mail Online (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9166913/Covid-outbreak-Chiltern-Railways-staff-baby-shower.html) is carrying a report which adds to the story ...
Quote A member of station staff is understood to have had keys to the Patisserie Valerie for 'security reasons' - but did not tell the chain that its outlet was being used. Noting "is understood to" in that story ...

Oddly there is no mention of any punishment meted out to the venue concerned who quite clearly should have asked* the officers to 'disappear'. *And called the police if they declined to so do. ;D Title: Re: Marylebone rail workers 'held lockdown baby shower' at closed station patisserie Post by: grahame on January 20, 2021, 11:43:00 Oddly there is no mention of any punishment meted out to the venue concerned ... As I read it, the venue / organisation is said to have been in lockdown with none of their staff around or knowing what was going on. Landlord's agents let themselves in and used it? If I have read that right, and barring lack of care to secure the place by the venue, there's nothing I can see that they could have done wrong.

Title: Re: Marylebone rail workers 'held lockdown baby shower' at closed station patisserie Post by: broadgage on January 20, 2021, 12:02:30 A significant number of police officers seem to take the view that "we make the rules, they dont apply to us" The law is meant to be made by parliament, but a lot of police seem to think that THEY make it.
BTW, it might be worth splitting this thread as two significant and different incidents are being disscussed.
