I’d like to think common sense in the main would keep you safe, so I don’t need a government to dictate everything to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else? 😄 I don’t think government should be taking the actions they are, for me it’s about reducing risk advising folk of the dangers and their responsibilities but not shutting all and sundry down and allowing life & businesses to to go on. While I’m bending the rules that the government have put in place I don’t believe I’m breaking any law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum and dad are coming down, and that's it - but that's a three family limit. Me and my partner, kids who live with their mum and my parents, still that feels like a bit of a risk. But those that are having xmas day with one set of parents, boxing day with another, the parents spending different days with sibilings - suddenly over the course of five days you could have 8/9 households mixing and still only have two families in the room at any one time. Surely In that case they are breaking the rules anyway? So it doesn’t really matter what the government say the rules are if some are going to do what they want anyway 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my mates has invited myself and Mrs Sweep round for drinks Xmas Day evening, after some of his family bugger off back home, we won't be going, but some of our other mates are. I think that sort of thing is going to be happening up and down the country, sadly. You only need to look further up this thread to see an attitude of "I won't spread it, it's other people, I've kept safe" and then multiply that out by a few thousand other people across the country and you can see how it manages to spread, and why it could lead to an increase in numbers come the first week of January. If everybody stuck to the rules, then we'd be OK you'd think , but I'm really not sure we're capable of doing that. There is nothing surer that we'll see footage on the news of massive parties/raves being broken up on Xmas Eve and New Years Eve, even though there are rules in place .

If everybody stuck the the rules, then we'd be OK I agree the problem is that closing pubs drives people into other peoples homes. To me it’s the biggest mistake we’ve made in the whole thing (and there has been some almighty fuck ups) but this is the biggest or close to it. I won’t be breaching the rules over Xmas personally. Ive just sat down to my last few pints of pub beer this year and I intend to enjoy them. The pub couldn’t be more on top of the rules cleaning etc etc. it’s a travesty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hopefully, be having my last pint in a pub this year tomorrow afternoon, before we get shoved into T3, as me and a mate are booked into one of the pubs in town, on tables next to each other (because we can't sit with each other) - we'll be indulging in a meal and apparently have 2 hours to get as much ale down our throats as possible 😀. After that, I doubt I'll leave the house again until some time in mid-January, apart from when I take the dog for a walk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up from 16k a week earlier. The April peak was 21k. It's a good thing they found those treatments as quickly as they did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
