Neighbours having a BBQ

[paulhollywoodshairgel]

Twice in the last week our neighbours have have friends and kids over for back garden BBQs. AIBU to report it? Husband is reluctant because he doesn't want any aggro with them.

It just feels so unfair. Why do they get to see friends and carry on as normal? I'd love to see my friends and family but we are adhering to the lockdown.

Just needed to vent as I'm so cross.

Report it

your own business. If you don't like what they are doing, make sure you don't do it yourself.
This is everyone’s business

Kids birthday party next to my elderly mums. Loads of kids and bbq going off. They have already shouted over that if they get reported they will know who did it so my mum is sat indoors with her dog who is terrified as they are bursting balloons. The report form asks you to put lots of personal info and if they were told who reported they would take it out on my mum. Wish there was an anonymous report line.

Think we have the same idiot neighbours.

Mine are all in and out of each other’s gardens and the kids are playing. Music, food and wine.

Report

I read sonewhere that the models government were using assumed only 50% compliance with the lockdown. Frustrating as it is, even if you report it, as pp have said there will be too many similar incidents for this to be enforced......

Report it. We have to stop this thing spreading, save lives, limit pressure on NHS staff. On top of that, it's totally unfair on the rest of us who haven't seen our friends and family in the last 2/3 weeks.

I cant go near my frail elderly parents and am terrified of what I could be bringing home to my family or exposing myself to every day.

Reprot them, they are being idiots, putting everyone at risk and extending the restrictions. People are dying FFS

This is unreal! I cannot get my head around the people who are still breaking the rules. Please report them Op.

I bet they’re out every Thursday night clapping enthusiastically.

How much is the fine? Does anyone know?

Report it. Almost 1000 people died yesterday, how much more horrific do the figures have to get before people do what they’re meant to do?!

I agree, I don't understand why there are still people who don't get it.

Report. Nearly 1,000 people died in the UK yesterday

Somebody reported one of my neighbours the other day for having a few barbecues with extra visitors. By the time the police came, she'd gone inside with her gathering - I don't know what happened.

Unfortunately she seems to think I called them. I didn't/won't because I'm too scared of what the consequences would be if I did (she's not exactly friendly, nor are her mates).

Agree with everyone. The fact our deaths are up near 1000 and still we haven't peaked we need to stop the people breaking the guidelines as it's obvious it's having an effect.

I understand and respect why our government wanted a lighter lockdown than Spain and Italy. But evidence is that a) it causes less flattening of curve and b) it's probably directly related to the fact people aren't abiding to the lighter lockdown we have.

Yes. Report.

Take some photos
Report them then.
Silly people!

I'ld report it online. Just a video of 2 kids talking about their Dad who was a 53 year old doctor being killed from it.

Barbecue fine but irritating if it's noisy. Inviting others not fine. Not sure if i'd report. Probably wouldn't unless it was a big crowd.

I'd report. We did last night when we saw over 10 people go to a house on our street to do the clap for the NHS and stay there for over half an hour🙄

Don't like where we live much and was on other threads about moving/keeping house advertised etc. during lockdown.
Reading this thread about the appalling neighbours some people have to put up with made me realise we've a lot to be thankful for.

I’m not a snitch or a tell tale AT ALL in fact I loathe it but I have to say this weekend hearing my neighbour talk about her daughter coming down from about 20 miles away with the grandkids and them sitting 6ft apart in the garden so it’s ok blah blah has made me feel really annoyed - I would absolutely love to make the short 10 mile or so drive to see my parents, even to talk to them on the driveway, but I’m worried about being pulled, worried about my car maybe breaking down, worried about people seeing me, worried about even touching the door to knock. I just think it’s easier to stay put and sort of compartmentalize as I know my mum would be desperate for me to come in the house but also know it’s not on and be torn.

@EverdeRose Our local force are the only ones in the country not to have an online form for reporting breaches of Covid regs! They actively encourage NOT reporting it. Madness

It's funny how yesterday someone posted an almost identical thread and yet the replies were "You need to stop paying on your neighbours!" & " Get a hobby!"

I heard that the online report function is slow to show up on police side. Maybe call instead 101.
