    I’m glad we don’t have to stay alert any more. Was getting tiring.

    Think it's more aimed at nursery children to be fair

    You know all about lying to try to win an argument.
    Or your other technique is simply to tell people to **** off when they disagree with you and aren't towing the 606 party line.
    You have criticised every shutdown regulation with your faux misunderstanding of it all.
    Yorkshire's reply to you summed it up perfectly.
    Don't flatter yourself that anything, ever has anything to do with you.

    Anyway, have a nice day.

    Agreed. Mine does too. As you say context is everything. Now what about being on a full train with people who think they're immune and are too hard to wear masks headed for a beach where there is absolutely no distancing involved? Let's remember that contexts and circumstances change from place to place.

    Not much context in this gem...

    I don't take kindly to being called a ****ing brainless moron and was merely pointing out that my experience didn't reflect Col's description. I'm not aware of instances such as you describe either, do you have examples?

    What if you’re the first person at the beach but then a few hours later the arbitrary beach capacity in your head is exceeded? Do you leave for the health of yourself and others, seek the most recent arrivals and demand they leave or some other solution?

    The government were very loud in patting themselves on the back over plans to regularly test all care home residents. Less so quietly ditching the idea for a while on a day when they’ve got enough scandal to dominate the front pages with other things. Well done Mancock.

    Do you not watch or listen to the news?

    Bizarre to say you're not aware of any over-crowding on the trains and beaches.

    Surely the sensible thing to do (to avoid being a brainless moron) is to not go anywhere that COULD become overcrowded, unless it's absolutely necessary for work etc? Why is it so vital to visit a beach or a park or a pub at this time of a health emergency?

    Because we’re following the science and the science has determined you can meet your friends at Nando’s for half-priced chicken

    Not me of course. I’ll be quarantining as that’s what the science has said must happen.

    I've seen lots of coverage of parks and beaches that appear crowded, but my experience of them is that people are satisfactorily distanced (much more so than in supermarkets, for example) and I judge that being outdoor locations they are perfectly safe. Of course It's not vital to visit a beach, but I happened to chose to. I really don't know why I should have to justify my actions to a curtain-twitching busybody such as yourself, but we were supposed to be in Portugal this week with our grandchildren, but had to cancel. A day at the beach was a small compensation for them.

    It's the trains that are the main problem imo. Nobody wants to get on them to go to work, but people asked by SKY what the trains were like down to Brighton and Bournmouth beaches all admitted they were packed like sardines

    Exactly. Why do it?
    Bournemouth council set out grids on the beach for social distancing and the morons just trampled them all under foot.
    We've all had to make sacrifices and most of us have had to cancel holidays etc. Just get over it.

    Cue our resident man child Watford to entertain us with one of his "hilarious" one liners........

    :emoticon-0100-smile I agree with you. If people find a beach that's safe or use the grid system, it's fine. The problem is that people, younger people in particular, have been kettled up and deprived of their annual trip to Magaluf and want to believed the virus threat is behind us.

    This really is becoming an inter-generational problem. Youngsters are saying they're only young once and want to live (yes, I sympathise) and, bugger it, if they get the virus it probably won't be that bad anyway (the Russian roulette argument).

    Older generations know it can kill or cause serious health problems for years to come, particularly in the old and sick, and can see a second wave coming in Europe which will devastate an already punch drunk UK economy and take jobs that young in particular will need for quality of life.

    I was delighted to see when I went shopping in Sainsbury's in Chichester last week that every customer was wearing a mask. Shows commitment.
