Took the dogs out on leads today as we’ve been encouraged not to visit local commons and let them run around. We live in a purely residential area so the only people we saw were out getting some exercise, cycling, dog walking etc. Must admit, I found it sad/surreal the way everyone was saying hi while crossing the road to avoid each other. Before all this **** happened not everybody crossed the road to avoid me.

As two of us were walking up the road, a couple were walking towards us on the same side. From about 100 yards we clocked each other and thoughts of social distancing must've come to mind because they rather kindly moved in to someone's gate and waited. Trouble was they did that 100 yards away! And waited. It took a while but when we eventually passed them we said thank you. Very weird, just a couple of weeks ago we would've just passed by without thinking.

Same here, everyone says hello and how are you even people in their gardens but keep a very safe distance

Went out to the corner shop earlier for milk and on the way back saw an old fella walking down the pavement on my side. I started walking on the road but it still makes me feel weird and impolite in a way as if I am avoiding people. As we passed each other he said thank you, but I'm not sure I'll ever get used to it.

I think that's it. That's why you have to compensate with thank you or good evening or hi... which translated means "I'm not really a ****" <laugh>

The pesky dogs haven't been told about social distancing though. My lab has thousands of mates he's built up in his nine years, and even every new dog he wants to meet. When on his lead he nearly chokes himself to death to get to a mate, but off his lead on the ings he'll run (or hobble, as he's getting older) hundreds of yards when he sees his mates. Has anyone been in the tangled leads situation yet when still trying to keep 2m's away?

I've never had a dog so don't know about this, but I'd be tempted to stand back and just leave them to it. I'm guessing though that's not a great strategy.
