Trying to work out how many people are still following the lockdown rules

So it turns out nearly every member of mine and DH family are not following the lockdown rules in some way. I only found out today by chance with some of members of my family after hearing them in the background whilst on the phone to my mum.

According to Dsis the vast majority of people are breaking the rules in some way.

I Thought people might be honest on a thread like this which is anonymous.

So AIBU to think most people are breaking the rules?
Please vote AIBU if your sticking to the rules.
YANBU if you are breaking them.

We are here, but we're in west Wales so it's slightly different here..lots of Police spot checks for one.

Yes, they're trying to stop those going to second homes and those trying to take their caravan to escape their lockdown.

Boulshired that is a shame and maybe worth having a word with her daughter - but rememberthere is always risk - going back to college will involve risk for everyone who goes back. Teenagers are extremely unlikely to get sick with covid - and as life goes back to normal she would be allowed to visit her mum anyway.

I wonder if rule breakers exist more in cities - I live in London and perhaps because there are just so many people here there are more likely to be chances to see people doing what they like and then feel it's okay> Our local parks have lots of people sitting in small groups - so for example two families having a 2metre picnic rather than 2 adults

I personally believe (though I know it's not the rules) that children should now be allowed to see and play with friends in the outdoors - there are many scientists who have argued this all along.

THere is no risk of transmission outside - I'm not waiting for Boris to 'remember' childrens mental health as he has not mentioned it once throughout lockdown and I doubt has even thought about children and play.

There never was a rule stating "an hour a day" in England - it was once a day but there was no time limit. If I go for a walk it is always going to be for more than an hour - it takes an hour to walk to and back from the only place I can buy eggs! I only use the car to go to work (school) and walk for shopping and exercise.
