I can't see very well, should I go for a drive?

[Haplap]

Hi, just recovering from a bit of covid. AIBU to drive for a bit like, half an hour or so with my young child and partner just to test my eyes are ok for a bigger journey?

Just trust your instincts, guidelines are just for plebs

Yes, times have changed. Apart from all else you need to think of those poor disadvantaged kids threatened with school in a week's time.

Do you honestly think think their parents or carers are sitting there wondering if their government are lying child abusers

No. We trust them. And so should you.

I don’t understand why you’re still on this thread as you could easily have got to Carlisle in the same time .
Were the road signs blurry ? Don’t worry, your six year old is perfectly safe. Make sure to stop off at a castle for a break.

isabelle funniest comment I've read on this story all day

It's a very complicated situation. Ask Boris but remember he has got a lot on his mind.

Failing that. Come to Weston and we will see you alright. “

Is that the same Weston where the hospital has closed today, declaring a state of emergency because it’s overwhelmed with Covid cases?

Thank you, beauty. I know Weston is absolutely lovely. But atm, if it’s all the same to you .......

I don't mean to nit pick but could your child maybe stay with perhaps your 17 year old niece ? Just to be on the safe side?

thank you

I had t watched the briefing and wondered how he's managed to go to an opticians as thought they were shut when I heard he went for eye test lol

Just make sure that if you're challenged about it,say that you don't care what it looks like.

OP, does the castle look clearer with windscreen wipers on....or off? Off...or on?

Oh lord, I can't breathe!

Oh lord, I can't breathe!

Crikey- were you in Barnard Castle on 12th April? I hear that a family with Coronavirus were seen in the area. Could you have caught it from them? Breathing difficulties is a symptom.

....... You can always apologize later. “

Or not, whatever.

I'm not sure you should. Maybe consult with the person who makes the rules.

Just a tip : if a middle class strolling retired gentleman spots you and gets a notepad out, make sure you bellow HAPPY EASTER at him from a safe distance. This will in no way draw attention to your presence.

I don't think this is necessary, it's only a car journey when you think you can't see very well after you might have had, or maybe didn't have, a potentially fatal illness.

If you do have a 17 year niece available for any emergency situations worse than that though, make you mention this a number of times in case people might not know. Also if you have a 20 year old niece, make sure you mention her too.

Otherwise people might think you don't have any women available to babysit your children and make your food and deliver it to your doorstep.

(I don't think you need to explain there is no way of getting food delivered to your doorstep in London, everyone knows this already. Also, don't mention you didn't have any friends or family in London for emergency childcare, people might think you must be a total and utter bellend and everyone must hate you not to have any friends at all).
