Saturday Night Retro: The 70s!

Random stuff - cars, Dad bars, tech, the era's popular use of the color orange, trends and various sundries circa the 1970s:

Greece: Santorini trials social distancing with plexiglass screens and beach chairs.

The Express: Greece: Santorini trials social distancing beach chairs with hopes tourism will follow.

Greek island Santorini is trialling new social distancing measures for beachgoers, with the introduction of new plexiglass screens surrounding sun loungers and beach chairs. Will these measures mean Britons can soon visit?

Greek island Santorini has implemented new social distancing measures on some of its beaches, despite concerns from locals. The new additions see beach chairs and sun loungers encased within a plexiglass screen.

It is hoped that these screens will be a helpful precaution against the spread of COVID-19 once the island welcomes back tourists, which could be from as early as July.

However, while the theory behind them is positive, there are some locals who are not happy about the new beach features.

Charlie Chahine, who owns a beach bar on the island, says he does not like them.

“We hope these constructions you see are not going to be the future for beaches. We don’t want this, but if this is necessary, and if this is what people’s safety depends on, such a construction or any such construction - we (just) want to work, we want to get going,” he said.

The new look for beaches (legit pic, see story). Because no virus can outwit plexiglass...
