    I heard BJ say "don't rush off to the beach or tourist hotspots"

    That’s ok then we can just drive there slowly.

    Think it will be quite a while before this disease is eradicated. Could be with us for years. A vaccine is our best chance of defeating it.

    I agree. Every time someone thinks it will be "nice" to go to the beach etc a thousand others will be thinking the same...

    I do not have to reply but will to say that whatever the extent of knowledge gleaned by the person giving the briefing they did apparently convey the correct message in that there was no longer a legal reason in relation to Covid19 to be able to prevent car travel under most circumstances.

    I will say though that with regard to your condemnation on my original response to your friend's reported words that I find such a response uncalled for. I gave my view purely based on the fact that she felt unable to stop the travelling public purely for their travelling by car.

    Whether this is the last word I have no idea M, but I do know that it shall be mine unless you continue your unwarranted criticism.

    If they all maintain distance and avoid body contact with surfaces it will not be a problem ...... if.

    I just cant understand why anyone would be looking or advocating ways to stretch any guidelines. Surely everyone knows that the disease is indiscriminate, anyone can get it and the results arn't pretty.

    I think perhaps you're a little biased about 1982, I saw it as keeping law and order from the mobs, but we all have our viewpoints.

    no one is stretching just adhering to them.

    I thought that at the time the police were the mobs.

    Absolutely sympathise with what you say, Debs - here's the crazy thing about the new situation - we could get up early, drive down to Perranporth, walk the dogs on the beach or the dunes, pop back to our static for lunch, go out again for a walk, stay for tea and then drive home late in the day.  ( We won't of course! wink)

    But we can't drive 12 miles across to see Mrs M's sister and OH together in their (huge) garden to celebrate their joint 70th birthdays next week. (Even though we could sit out on our drive with many of the neighbours on theirs for a "street party" on Friday.)

    How does that make sense? undecided

    I agree with what you say.  I'm also worried that people will be travelling to all known beauty spots and causing a second spike.  I really hope that won't happen, but with the weather getting better again by Sunday, and summer ahead of us, I'm very doubtful.

    To me it makes no sense M. It seemed to be something that the cabinet would be addressing soon going off what Raab said in a Q andA this morning when he referred to one of his parents recent 70th. I personally would have attended keeping distance in a garden (regardless of regulations) ..... obviously Raab could not.

    I agree. We could leave tomorrow morning at 7 and be on top of Grizedale pike by 12, take in Hopegill Head on the way back.

    But we can't visit our daughter in her house just over a mile away?

    I suppose it is all about infecting people, but then I hope the Keswick mountain rescue team have good PPE.

    And just where did it say that it was  a team? With a member of one's own household can play tennis or play golf, or alone one can shoot a basket, or fish......What's the problem?

    TDA these are very similar to the ones OH's Men's shed have been making.  Folk are now coming forward and asking for them, initially they all said they didn't need them.

    No apology needed, CS. It's just that the way posts have been going on here I'm never sure who's being serious and who's not.wink And as I'm too busy to bother with CT most days I have to try and catch up during the evening and it's not easy with the number of conflicting post that are about to get the full gist of what's being said.

    I was being polite in answering however

    I didn't realise I was an Authority on the land and registry.

    what is being questioned on the Authority of my council or how I go about my working day relevant with this thread?

    I absolutely love Wales. It is my favourite destination, but if I have to wait until the disease is eradicated before I can visit again I may have to wait quite a few months or years. I'm not sure I will survive that long. Anybody want to buy a nice motorhome? cry

    1982 was the Falklands. 1984 was the Miners Strike. Here endeth the history lesson......😁 Jury is out, but the Army might well have been involved in both......we’ll never know........
