That's where words like moderation, common sense and balance come into play.

I have often playfully joked about you watching footie 24/7 but I have never criticised you for your life choices

But you're entitled to question my life choices just as I'm entitled to question people spending out of their means.

This course of action is so tempting especially, when the individual (next door neighbour) initially stated their intention to flout the law a couple of weeks ago AND continues to do so. (He’s a non-essential worker).

I wouldn’t, however, I’m sorely tempted to place a sign in the window stating something along the lines of: ‘Thank you ALL for observing the lock-down, from the family of a front-line NHS member of staff’.

PS my wife welled up when I told her that our daughter was working in the ‘yellow zone’.

Please stay home folks.

If some people are flouting the rules then they deserve the grief that could come their way mate. I just find someone snitching on a neighbour to the Police without knowing the full reason for that person going out is wasting Police time. As @Disgruntledgoat said, his dad was only moving his car to get into his garage, yet his neighbour decided to call the Police, that's just pathetic.

To be fair, they do that on a regular basis
The Blue Lagoon's a toxic mess, so they dye it to stop dickheads swimming in it.

Toxic Derbyshire 'Blue Lagoon' dyed black

A pool at a disused quarry in Derbyshire which has caustic water is changed from inviting blue to off-putting black.

Darwin would be proud of anyone who ignored the signs like, but, even so, dogs and kids used to get regularly burnt from the water.

Fair enough.....
 
There are other factors like higher population density in New York and it doing a better job of testing that inflates their case numbers but it does seem like the Bay Area’s early moves at social distancing/lockdown have had a big impact.

That's my thing too. The police have far more important things to be getting on with than checking if somebody is planning an unauthorised trip to walk the dog. If he was that arsed, he could have opened his front window to enquire where he was going.

Honestly, I'm quite happy to trust that that vast majority of people are doing the best they can in difficult circumstances. If I see (as I did last week) four friends sat outside the bar one of them owns (that's obviously closed right now) sharing a bottle of wine that's in the middle of a circle of chairs all 2 metres from each other, I'm not going to try and make trouble for them.

If I see 5 people on the balcony of a small apartment I know only one person lives in in my building, I'll call them on the intercom and explain that I would like to have an income again as soon as possible so would they mind awfully not having parties.
