40,000 might have complained about her introduction, but interestingly over 120,000 (and rising) have indicated that that she has been treated unfairly.......
We love HIGNFY. No one who watches it regularly can forget the “tub of lard” that replaced a Labour MP. Much like Channel 4 replacing BJ with a block of ice.....🤣

Steve - the title of the thread is "Coronavirus Concerns " so I think it's quite legitimate, given how much this impinges on our particular hobby, to comment on any concerns we might have about individual's actions as long as it's done respectfully (which by and large it has been in this thread) and avoids sinking into a party political debate.
Maybe the "when the lockdown ends " thread would be a more appropriate place for letting folk know about NT re-opening?

I find it “concerning” that anything between 40-60,000 UK citizens have died either directly, or indirectly of C19. More concerning than will the bogs be open on Club Sites.........🤔🙂

The concern M comes from how restrictions on numbers, possibly on sites as well as places like the NT, could affect our hobby. Perhaps I should have put that it was just an example. Of how tourist type resources are going to become stretched as soon as you impose social distancing on them.
As far as the other matter, it has just got totally out of hand and stands a fair chance of getting this thread closed if it continues.

The idea that DC did not break? any "rules" which is the gist of the long Email i have recieved fom our MP( and will be answered when i have decifered the political jargon that is included
) There are several points that are against not only the spirit of the lockdown but also driving including the eyesight test? but also he says he did the trip without stopping? which is also against the guidelines as it is recomended a stop after two hours of driving

I think that's pushing the title of the thread, it wasn't political and we did get a lot of political newspaper quotes earlier and we know the strong bias of some.
Steve, I wrote on here yesterday about the NT opening up, very little locally for us and Kingston Lacey was fully booked, no sign of the CL being open at some point either.

And the Cummins episode is going to make flocking to beaches more or less likely do you think?
It was happing before the Cummings episode and is still happening today, brought on very much i feel by the glorious weather we have been having, and probably a very high percentage of those on our beaches dont give a fish for Cummings episode.
In some ways it is lovely to see and I am not afraid to say that we will jump the gun by having a family BBQ of 6 members today at the beach house, well today or Monday whats the difference ???, my SIL will not be joining us so keeps it half legal, as he is a front line serving doctor of Her Majestys Forces in London, but we will be good and not sleep over
, but decision certainly not influenced by the DC episode. here is an insteresting quote some may have missed
as the deputy chief medical officer for England, Dr Jenny Harries, explained a day after lockdown, "if you have adults who are unable to look after a small child, that is an exceptional circumstance"
should fuel the fire for the weekend

Steve, you probably know Clumber much better than us. Has the whole Park been closed, including the road that runs straight through, or is it just the Parkland that the NT now gates off? I would have thought the latter, but you might know better? I know a lot of visitors do park up outside of the gated and fenced areas, and indeed the cycle route might be possible without entering these areas.

Yes having a child and unable to look after it would be exceptional.
I have several very basic questions that are rhetorical so don't feel the need to reply folks 😉
- Who looked/looks after the child normally? Neither seem to do a 9-5 job. They dont have support of family but manage usually.
- He goes home but returns to work she suspects she has the virus. Bet his colleagues thrilled!
- He comes home and reckons he has it too. Drives miles whilst poorly 😱. Total disregard about his ability to drive safely or for the safety of anyone else, danger of inattention if poorly - shocked as I am to say it even now 😉
- Again not sure on his eyesight. Drives 60 miles round trip to check it out.
- I wonder how his insurance company would view the situation if a claim arose? Or when renewal comes around?? I wish I was an insurance underwriter/broker claims handler 😉.
- These are the questions I'd like straight answers too. Not holding my breath 😇
- Edit all if these he did with what I consider lifes most precious gifts - those you love as passengers 😤🤐

Yup and look at what is being quoted only today .....
Three of the government’s scientific advisers on coronavirus have warned Covid-19 ”is spreading too fast to lift lockdown in England”, arguing the rate of infection and number of new cases remains too high, which the ONS places at 8,000 per day.

"In some ways it is lovely to see and I am not afraid to say that we will jump the gun by having a family BBQ of 6 members today at the beach house, well today or Monday whats the difference ???"
The difference, of course, is that we've been "instructed" not to, Rufs. You might want to have a look at the front page of today's Telegraph before lighting up that BBQ!

As I posted earlier, DC's explanation seemed plausible until one considers the Barnard Castle episode, which just happened to be on his wife's birthday. As for continued observance of guidance, I hope none of you will be offended if I poke you with my steel tape measure.

Thanks for the heads up, B2. I've just watched it on catch up. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

There is some evidence to suggest that the “exceptional circumstances” clause that gave DC wriggle room wasn’t in the original guidance, but was added slightly later, primarily to address concerns where there might be domestic abuse in the household, and that such a risk might well outweigh the risk from C19. Domestic abuse has been high profile throughout the lockdown, and I receive regular emails from our Police Service around safeguarding.
Whether or not this possible interpretation allows anyone to think differently about Mr Cummings I don’t know.
Some might find this interesting as an example of his work on our behalf.

Steel tape measures are too open to error. I use a pointy tipped garden cane.....😂

What's the difference and it can't do any harm. I'm sure that's the logic applied by all the other rule breakers as well😤.
It might seem trivial to you, Rufs, but please don't criticise others who break rules and bug you by flocking to your area when you're not prepared to stick to the rules yourself. There's a word for that beginning with H.😖

😱 GEE, is he a lawyer by trade??
I thought my kids could argue blacks white but I apologise to them unreseverededly they can't and haven't got anywhere near it.
Edit I missed that at the time. Glad I did my blood pressure would be even higher and that'll only hurt me 😉

It does seem hard to justify the Barnard Castle trip in light of the fact that all opticians have been allowed to see "emergency" patients throughout lockdown. Emergency is classed as anyone with painful symptoms or concerns over their vision.
I won't say anymore about it as the subject is pretty much exhausted 😊

It's just the road gates off of Limetree that are locked and the chapel grounds and cafe area are all fenced off with temporary fencing. We have been a couple of times since the restriction on non essential travel was lifted and parked off Lime Tree, close to where you turn for the car parks. At the moment that area is accessible. Wether they will tape it off to prevent parking when they open on the 3rd I've no idea. Clearly it would be difficult to tape off the whole of the avenue, but it's that section that will feed the area they are trying to restrict.
We went yesterday around lunch time and it was not that busy. After doing a circuit (not of lake, as bridge is closed for works) we walked back up the main entry road. There was a van trying to get in through the gate with a large delivery of hand washes and gels. They hadn't given him the code, no one was answering the phone. So he set off on the long walk down to the offices. Well at least it was a nice day.😀 Hope he didn't have many more deliveries to do.

Yes it was.
He actually landed at RAF Valley, which fortunately was undergoing some maintenance work so no RAF planes flying. He told the Staff that he wanted to go to the beach, was told to turn around and disappear back to Surrey. I don't think he was actually fined nd news is that the local police "think", just "think" he may have broken lockdown rules.
As Mrs WN says he's obviously not stupid as he knows how to fly but he is another of those "Educated Idiots".

Fish you posted:
A plonker from Surrey flew to Anglesey to go to the Beach. Dont know who fined him the police or Civil Aviation Authority!. Little airport thought it was an emergency landing.
I can't find anything about the pilot being fined by anyone but it has been reported to the CAA but perhaps you have more local news?
And little airport? The 'airport' is RAF Valley where No 4 FTS does fast jet training. I've flown there many years ago and it wasn't a little airport even then.

The local news says that the Police are thinking about it.
Tough one to work out.Edit - Actually just thinking about it a bit more, maybe the police instructions are to fine anyone driving into Wales from England. "Nothing in the rules about flying Sarge"
