Yes I can thankyou.

There are some on this thread that go p;atronising and pompous for the sake of it, I'm sure they're going to fill their boots.

Sorry wasn't pointed at you. Just ended off using your words to aim at others making up their own stories.

not being funny pal, but it’s confusing even trying to make any sense of what you’re saying, let alone these new ‘rules’

The fact we're debating shows the message is confused.

 

[Astute]

From before today’s speech and the new rules tomorrow.

Am I going mental or what?

Going? This shutdown is having strange effects on people it seems.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

No one wants an argument on here.

You have to be with people from your own household Alan.
Though I'm sure if you're right, as long as you maintain social distancing you could meet as you say. Though she's nearly 30 so.probably not really interested in a game of catch!

You could meet up at the local garden centre near the geraniums. Go in separate cars . Take your birth certificates just in case.

The fact we're debating shows the message is confused.

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

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

OK carry on with point scoring. There is enough out there to tell you.

I'm not trying to point score, I am just trying to point out what has been said verbatim both from the PM and the BBC article you posted.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Grendel loses position as Maltese diplomat after 6 years in the post

Malta envoy quits after comparing Merkel to Hitler

I actually think the bloke has a point.

Boris said you can play sport with your family. But family don't always live together. My two eldest daughters have their own families in their own homes but according to him I can have contact with them .
Stay at home is therefore completely dead in England but no one understands quite who they can see and who they can't.
You clearly do. Bully.

So you don't understand the meaning of household?

OK.

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

 

[Astute]

And you have missed all the times that 'household' has been mentioned?

 

[hill83]

Right. The article you have quoted is from yesterday. It even says on it:


At present, people should only leave home if they have a "reasonable excuse"

That was yesterday mate, and right now it’s today and has changed based on what’s been said today.
Hopefully we get more information tomorrow.

But you piled in giving it point scoring with an outdated article and are trying to accuse me of being mental. Have another go.

Boris did say household to be fair, not family.

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

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?

So what has changed today?

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

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

 

[clint van damme]

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?

 

[skybluetony176]

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.

The police who keep pulling people over and fining them.

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.

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

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