Agree. Only friend I'm meeting is my colleague. We both live alone and are struggling. We still have to work and if anybody at work gets it, we'll get it both anyways (care home for children and we have really little ones at the moment so no physical distancing...). Will go to her by bike/car though to avoid other people. I am not going to meet any other friends until at least end of April. Last friend I met was 3rd MarchThank you!
That has been annoying me too.
A social gathering of no more than 2 makes NO sense when households shouldn’t be mixing.
I don’t think people understand this and think they can meet up with a friend because “it’s no more than 2” - no you can’t!
They need to remove that from their advice and quickly!
Sorry but I disagree. If everyone acted in the same way......no going out unless it’s ESSENTIAL, no ordering crap that means products & deliveries are handled by umpteen people before getting to the customer, no driving to go A WALK!!! We could be out of this situation sooner.I find it quite worrying the amount of people begging for more and more restrictions to our behaviour.
This crisis has brought out the best and worst behaviour in people. It's the curtain twitchers reporting their neighbours for daring to go out twice in one day unbeknown that that neighbour was going to buy emergency provisions for an elderly neighbour.
It sickens me how some people are rubbing their hands with glee at the new power they have over people. Its like Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany..everyone is being judged and it makes me very very nervous as to how his is going to be be played out in the weeks/months ahead.
I think the no more than 2 for social gathering rule is to cover events but I agree it is confusing. At this stage though, it is pretty clear we should only be going shops and can only mix with household members. Can see lockdown being extended for longer, as 2 more weeks barely covers the expected peak, we need recovery time too.Thank you!

get the vegan Garlic Kievs and thank me later.This was Tesco, around 6. But now you say vegan foods I'm wanting to try m&s today for their plant chef stuff
I think it will be extended, but will it be extended at the same rate? I expected them to bring it in at 60% or maybe 70%.yes, it’s for 3 months but can be extended. I’m certain it will be, not all businesses will be able to reclaim all their staff in one hit when they open. Things will be staggered and if they’re intended to increase / decrease the social distancing measures I think this will affect businesses too
Is that Tescos wicked kitchen? I find their own brand of vegan food quite hit and miss. I had the naked burrito yesterday and it was a bit underwhelming, but fine for 75p.get the vegan Garlic Kievs and thank me later.
No M and S! They are incredible!Is that Tescos wicked kitchen? I find their own brand of vegan food quite hit and miss. I had the naked burrito yesterday and it was a bit underwhelming, but fine for 75p.
I've only bothered once this week. Way too busy everywhere even though we went early and my kids kept touching things like gates. people were either not caring about distance and others were mental about it, like sorry I have so many kids that touch thingsSo are we all getting a letter from Boris telling us not to go for a walk?
Right have to try themNo M and S! They are incredible!View attachment 101144
So what powers are you asking for our beloved leaders to unleash on us next?Sorry but I disagree.

The NHS is begging us to stay home for a reason!
The postal service workers are begging us to only order essentials for a reason!
These people are putting their lives in danger every day so I’m pretty sure we can survive without a new lounge wear set or activity book.
And sorry but going out twice in one day isn’t necessary......anyone caring for vulnerable people should be checking what they need before going out the first time. I understand if someone needs CARE going out twice but not for shopping.
Sorry, with a lot of vulnerable people I feel strongly about this.
Sadly my own mum seems confused by the whole thing.It’s confusing! Obviously the advice not to meet with anyone outside your household overrides it but I can see why some people seem to have misunderstood and are continuing to meet with one other person
I think it’s basically if you live together you can go for a walk together ie if you’re a family of four you can go for a walk as a family of four but you can’t go out with your neighbours for example as a 4.This could be me being stupid (permanent baby brain here) but I don’t understand the lockdown rules. So gatherings of more than two people are banned, except if they’re from the same household. At the same time we’re not supposed to be gathering with anyone outside of our household? Wouldn’t that make the first rule redundant?
The other day I walked past some couples during my walk and overheard conversations that implied they lived separately. I felt annoyed at the time but now I can see why they might have misunderstood the rules
I guess it makes them feel better.People are now trying to organise a clap for BorisI could get behind the NHS one but not for Boris.
Yep my girl is 5 this October and we’re meant to be hearing on April 16th, have the places already been decided so it’s just an email being sent out or are they still doing it? Will the other kids end up being held back a year? I so wish there was more information about schoolingTalking of schools
Anyone else got a child due to start reception/nursery school this year? We applied for my sons place in January to commence reception at the local primary school when he turns 4 in October. The timeline says schools will.notify parents on 29th april, wonder will that still happen?
I guess it makes them feel better.
