Look stop having a go at him, not sure why it is but people always seem to think he's in the wrong

It’s so easy to just go, oh yeah, shit. It is an old article. Then hold your hands up. I would.

It is only confusing if you listen to people who don't have a clue or that make their own story up.

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?

The alert scale; 5 is the worst so we're at 4 (we wouldn't want to be realistic about where we really are). There isn't any method to speak of behind the scales anyway by the sounds of it...

It’s pure spinal tap.

 

[Astute]

No? You must be getting mixed up with someone else.

From what Boris said and the article you posted, what is stopping me and other people in my household driving to a park 200 miles away to exercise?

The police who keep pulling people over and fining them.

 

[hill83]

So what has changed today?

I must have missed it. Because nothing has changed yet.

Nothing yet. It’s from tomorrow.

Edit: Or possibly Wednesday.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Before this evening's speech I agree. But things have changed in the last couple of hours.

Yesterday I could only exercise once a day. From Wednesday I can drive somewhere and exercise as many times as I want.

Short distance travel only for exercise can be made to be go 200 miles?

We have had a lot of it in Cumbria. Idiots all over the place. The police stopped someone and gave them a fine. They then tried to continue with their journey to buy a puppy. They got another fine and escorted back up north.

 

[hill83]

I wouldn’t go to fucking skeggy pre or post lockdown even if you paid me anyway.

But can you suddenly travel further?

 

[hill83]

Nothing has changed.

Ok

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Ok

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

But can you suddenly travel further?

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.

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Not surprised, you talk about Germany like it's 1940

Why is that?

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

 

[Astute]

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 was able to travel a short distance for exercise.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

link.

very confusing all round

'People in England are free to drive somewhere to exercise'

That means anywhere?

Except Scotland and Wales keep your germs to yourself

 

[Astute]

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

 

[Astute]

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.

 

[SBbucks]

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]

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

Look at post above yours.

 

[hill83]

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.

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.

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?
