How can anyone look At what is happening around the world and still think it’s okay to go to their holiday rental/get their nails done etc?
I don’t know whether some posters are deliberately obtuse or genuinely don’t understand (not sure how much clearer Boris could have made it tbh) but I’m actually more scared now than I have been previously due to some of the posts on here tonight

We’ve got no hope have we?

I went for a drive yesterday as I haven’t driven for ages. I didn’t want my battery to go flat as I’m at work on Monday. Sometimes you have to go for a drive. I suppose I’ll get flamed for that

DH said we need to do this to keep our car running, we are more likely just to drive 5 miles and come home than to go to the supermarket as we are trying to minimise contact due to both adults having chronic illnesses.
That's probably wrong too.

Just look at how many in this thread are encouraging the OP to ignore the guidance/rules.

Did none of them stop to think what would happen if ALL the young adults in London went home? I sort of know someone who did a similar thing on Tuesday, immediately after the stricter rules came in.

FFS I have just seen on a group about reducing supermarket spends a woman who is going to Sainsbury’s twice a day because her cat will only eat the Sainsbury's own tuna pouches, and they're restricting to 3 items per customer. Selfish fucking idiot

Also while I'm on a rant, people moaning because they have 7 kids to feed so they should be exceptions to the supermarket limit rules - your over-breeding is already having a huge impact on the environment and you expect everyone else to suffer now to make way for your addiction to child rearing?

If some critical though had been applied prior to having so many kids, maybe people would've thought twice about doing it
