k or other green space to walk?
We advise you to stay local and use open spaces near to your home where possible – do not travel unnecessarily.

You can still go to the park for outdoor exercise once a day but only by yourself or within your household, not in groups.

We ask you to keep two metres apart from others outside your household at all times when outdoors.

You should avoid places where it may be hard to follow the guidelines. If you live in an area where it’s difficult to stay two metres apart when exercising, you can travel to a more open space to do so – but should only do this if absolutely necessary, and should not meet up with people from outside your household.

If you have been keeping up you would know it is to do with households and not family. If you live together there is no extra risk unless those not in your household join you.

What is difficult to understand any of this?

He said "you can drive to other destinations" which is about as vague as it gets. If it's crystal clear to you, can you clarify for those of us who are hard of understanding please?

 

[clint van damme]

Yes as previously I wasn't able to drive for exercise. Now I can and nothing has been said of a limit of how far I can travel on the road.

You'd almost think you'd watched Johnson's speech and Astute hadn't.

Look at post above yours.

And now


“And from this Wednesday, we want to encourage people to take more and even unlimited amounts of outdoor exercise.

You can sit in the sun in your local park, you can drive to other destinations, you can even play sports but only with members of your own household.”

Sorry. From Wednesday. Now I’m not a qualified difference spotter but that sounds different to me.

 

[clint van damme]

Sorry to ruin the stories being made up but here are the rules set dated May 1st.

Coronavirus outbreak FAQs: what you can and can't do

It's the 10th today.

 

[Astute]

You'd almost think you'd watched Johnson's speech and Astute hadn't.

OK what had changed? Can we suddenly travel further?

 

[Astute]

It's the 10th today.

Exactly. It was for those making out we couldn't travel a short distance for exercise before today.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Why is that?

And do you think the Maltese diplomat is incorrect to suggest Germany have a lot of power within Europe?

I don't know but recently you seem to have had a beef with the country or the people in it. Is Germany allowed to be successful without being compared to the Nazis as that gentleman did?

 

[hill83]

Can’t believe I’m using what Boris Johnson has said as an argument that I believe to be true. Can’t believe I’ve been dragged back into a irrelevant debate. Can’t believe it’s still going on.

 

[clint van damme]

OK what had changed? Can we suddenly travel further?

It sounds like it.
'People in England can travel to different destination'
That's definitely different to 'essential travel only'

Can you travel further like many on here are trying to make out?

Travel stays exactly the same. Only if necessary. Not the 200 miles like has been made out.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Or arseholes looking for an excuse.
I have no intention of travelling to skeggy.

But there were people ignoring the don't make unneccessay journeys guidelines.
Imagine how they're going to interpret this given the ambiguity of it?

You can take "unlimited outdoor exercise "
You can " even drive to other destinations"
He didn't say what you had to do at other destinations and he didn't say anything about what the limit of that journey to be, or that it should be local.
Skeggy is all yours Clint.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I don't know but recently you seem to have had a beef with the country or the people in it. Is Germany allowed to be successful without being compared to the Nazis as that gentleman did?

So what your saying is that the diplomat has a point?

You just don't like it so try to make it all about the comment about Hitler. Yes, slightly distasteful, but the essence of it is correct.

 

[Astute]

It sounds like it.
'People in England can travel to different destination'

Do you travel to where you are? Move your car a foot?

 

[hill83]

I don’t know. And that’s the point really. Posting old info won’t change that. We’ll find out more tomorrow.

As for, was it one person, saying we couldn’t travel short distances to exercise before. They were incorrect.

 

[clint van damme]

What are you on about?
People in England can travel to.other destinations.
Those are Johnson's words. How do you interpret them?

 

[SBbucks]

Look at post above yours.

What you are quoting will soon be out of date so is irrelevant. From Wednesday he said we would be able "to drive to other destinations". Whatever the f**k that means.

 

[Astute]

Yes they were but he still argued the toss. Same day as ever on this thread.

Boris said same restrictions on travel. Will consider changes when we reach level 3.

Isn't it amazing how sime people only hear what they want to hear.

 

[Astute]

What are you on about?

LOL.

So you don't travel to a different location than you are in when you travel? Do you stay where you are when you travel?

 

[chiefdave]

Nothing has changed.

If nothing has changed why has Johnson made an announcement about it?

At present you're allowed to drive for exercise and the police have been told to operate on the principle that the time exercising has to be longer than the time driving.

By making an announcement that you can now drive to other destinations the implication is you can drive further than the local park.

Johnson said in addition to being able to leave home as many times as they wish for exercise or to sunbathe in parks, people in England would also be able to drive to other destinations.

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Not sure how his image can decline any further, it went past rock bottom long ago. What the f**k did we do to deserve this moron and his cronies/sycophants to be in charge when strong and effective leadership is needed?

Because too many people were taken in by slogans, personality and rhetoric feeding into their fears and prejudices. For a lot of people they're reaping what they have sowed. Unfortunately the rest of us are suffering from this scorched earth policy.

 

[Astute]

What you are quoting will soon be out of date so is irrelevant. From Wednesday he said we would be able "to drive to other destinations". Whatever the f**k that means.

So you was wrong?

And you are happy to be wrong again?

Yes but only short distances and a good reason. Is this too difficult to understand?

I have learned one thing tonight. I now understand why people are so thick when they do their own thing when all the information is out there.

 

[clint van damme]

LOL.

So you don't travel to a different location than you are in when you travel? Do you stay where you are when you travel?

So why didn't he just say travel guidelines are the same essential travel only.
Why has that changed to people in England can now travel to other destinations?

 

[shmmeee]

I’ll just leave this here

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

So what your saying is that the diplomat has a point?

You just don't like it so try to make it all about the comment about Hitler. Yes, slightly distasteful, but the essence of it is correct.

Is Merkel trying to make her country prosperous equivalent to an attempted takeover of the continent?

 

[Skybluefaz]

And you are happy to be wrong again?

Yes but only short distances and a good reason. Is this too difficult to understand?

It says 'travel to other destinations' no mention of only short distances.

 

[Astute]

So why didn't he just say travel guidelines are the same essential travel only.
Why has that changed to people in England can now travel to other destinations?

Don't worry I give up. Carry on making up your own stories. I am out.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Johnson's dad has expressed that opinion on more than one occasion

I have a sneaking suspicion his son feels exactly the same

Remember Stanley sneeringly saying that he doubted most of the working class couldn't even spell Pinocchio. They consider average people an underclass who're effectively a sub-species. It's common throughout that class. If this was 200 years ago he'd still be all for slavery and restricting the vote.

 

[Astute]

Did you read the rules I put up?

You can also carry on making up your own stories as you usually do.

 

[skybluetony176]

Sorry to ruin the stories being made up but here are the rules set dated May 1st.

Coronavirus outbreak FAQs: what you can and can't do

That’s out of date. You are aware that Boris has addressed the nation tonight, that’s tonight, as in the 10th of May ie 9 days after your link was last updated, with new advice?

 

[clint van damme]

Don't worry I give up. Carry on making up your own stories. I am out.

I've quoted his speech which you clearly haven't watched.
Imagine arguing about something you hadn't watched or read!!

Remember when he said he told everyone about the lockdown paperwork in france
