Yes. It's called the law of not being a complete Hampton.

Tell your syndicate buddy that it's really simple. Rather than give a list of 50,0000 things you aren't allowed to do. They've given a short list of things you are allowed to do. Tell him to read that list and compare it to whatever he's considering doing, hang gliding, lion taming, organising a Druid festival, whatever it is, if it's not on the list then it's BANNED.

You might want to point him in the direction of www.am-i-being-a-bellend.com.

You said Boris hasn't done a proper lock down so it will spread, not just by those working, everyone has to shop and some will catch it that way, fuel pumps etc.

Loads are ignoring the warnings, saw loads of people parked at country locations today even ones with the car parks closed they were parking at the roadside and walking themselves or dogs. See a few out racing around in fast cars at stupid speeds as well.

Apparently the police will have powers to stop people and make them account for their movements and fine them if they feel it's necessary.

I hope they start doing it straight away. Whilst we still have some time. My wife saw a group of young mums out today, strolling along in the sunshine, all their kids playing together.

She wound down the car window and asked them if they were thick as ****. They were all genuinely confused.

I give up. Fine um I say.

That's the problem though,too many grey areas.So I'm allowed out with my wife and 3 children because we are from the same household.We can go a walk around the streets and to the park where there could be another 20 families doing the same.Its bull**** lockdown should be that only going out for food or keyworkers.There is plenty of ways to exercise inside the house or in your garden,too much rule bending will keep this going on for months not weeks

So you use common sense and don't go into the park, same as all the rest should have done when they saw one family already there.

They're not grey areas, it's easy.

Of course, but take workplaces out as much as possible will reduce the spread. Couple that with less work placed accidents will happen which again reduce workload on the NHS. Should have been done weeks ago before it was allowed to spread like it is.

Are you for real,people have even been travelling from Nottingham to go to parts of Staffordshire Moorlands,Astbury mere country park has been busier today than in the middle of summer.A lockdown should be keyworkers and 1 family member going to the supermarkets as little as possible.If anyone else is caught on the roads/streets they get fined.Too many people still carrying on as if nothing is happening

Tesco´s are doing the 1 person shopping thing, except when you queue up with your semi disabled wife (as I did today), wait in a queue for 1/2 hour and passed maybe 6 or 7 Tesco staff in control of the self isolation and then as you approach the entrance are informed that only 1 of you can go into the store, well that is not good planning. I was not impressed at all especially as I then witnessed quite a few couples, 1 adult with a teenager, a family of 5 (both adults in attendance), all allowed into the store. I did make a complaint politely and from that point people arriving and joining the queue were correctly advised, so well done on that, it wasn´t rocket science for Tesco´s to sort that out from the beginning, but obviously it was to apply it to everybody. Whilst waiting I tried to warn a few people about the restrictions in place, but some people just don´t want to play ball, "I am going to the pharmacy and he is doing the shopping", a couple in their 30´s obviously unable to multitask!

I'm doing the shopping in the morning and getting an elderly couple across the road their's.It could be interesting if I encounter any selfish bellends as I'm not the most patient of people when it comes to people like that.Just been reading strict rationing could be coming very soon due to these panic buying *****s

Currently those taking the pee face a colossal fine of £30, rediculous, many I have seen today parking up for a walk in the woods have been pensioners.

There's a real difference in attitude among people, some have been able to work from home, retired or whatever, staying in a bubble, and getting a solid message. stay at home. Only go out when you really need to.
Others tho, the message is less clear, stay at home, unless you have to go to work, not just key workers but any job in an industry that hasn't yet been shut down. Oh and you can go out to exercise. Only shop for essentials, but feel free to order what you like online, meaning warehouse staff and delivery drivers tke more risks so you can have that trampoline to shut your kids up for 5 minutes
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
