Can only speak for where I am (liverpool city center) but people have been fantastic, no large gatherings that I have seen, everyone courteous and well behaved in the supermarkets and extremely grateful to the fantastic staff. People going for a run or walk on their own and giving each other loads of space, its a really really dumb idea to suggest banning localised solo jogs or walks.

Very easy to pin point worst case scenarios and say all people are this or all people are that, but from where I am right now I have seen way over 98% of people pulling together, keeping calm and doing a great job

My experience exactly

Your scared you will get caught with a torch under your bedcovers lol

Sweet baby Jesus @Joey66 you couldn't keep your eyes open long enough to turn the torch on lol lol xx

No, you said he was hiding on a hospital ICU ward to avoid being criticised.

Which would require the collision at the highest echelons of the Police, the medical service and Parliament.

lol

The two statments you highlighted are not contradictory.

Priorities :

All those people on the frontline should be given a massive tax free bonus from the government when we get through this...then they should get a pay rise.

Closing Cornwall tomorrow. I assume similar measures will be in place elsewhere. It would be magnificent if they have a really quiet time getting drivers to turn round and go home.

Heartwarming. People do really respond when others are in need.

"British Gas engineers are now delivering emergency food parcels to aid food banks struggling with a surge in demand amid the pandemic.
As part of a new partnership with the Trussell Trust, British Gas employees are attending emergency callouts and essential visits for vulnerable customers, in order to manage demand and follow physical distancing guidelines.
The Trussell Trust, which manages more than 1,200 food banks across the UK, is struggling to collect food donations and transport them back to local hubs. Its normal network of 28,000 volunteers has been curtailed because many are aged over 70 and are now self-isolating, because they are deemed ‘at risk’ of getting coronavirus.
More than 1,750 British Gas staff volunteered their support in just 48 hours. They will support the delivery of 50,000 food parcels a month, as well as donating food, collecting donations and putting the food parcels together".

I think you call that 'closing the stable door after the horse has bolted'

As well as sending them home, they should name and shame any idiots caught turning up at holiday places too.

Police.

Not really. M5 is like a church. Has been for weeks. Granted, some folk have gone, but not the masses.
