To ask if you see your neighbours having too many people over at christmas will you report them?

[ShesMadeATwatOfMePam]

Just that really. Will you actually report your neighbours if you see they have over 6 people at christmas, if the rule of 6 is still in place?

Yabu: yes i will report them
Yanbu: i wouldn't report

From my point of view, i wouldn't report.

[GuyFawkesHadTheRightIdea]

No.

[lachy]

No I wouldn't.

As it stands, my parents can either come to us (we would be 4 adults and 1 child) or go to my dsis (4 adults, 2 children) but we can't all get together as we'd be 6 adults and 3 children.

I would dearly love for us all to get together but it won't happen, although I completely understand why others would break the rule of six, especially over Christmas, if it means adding three or four to the number.

[ragged]

No. Not even the neighbours I quite dislike.

Maybe if it was very noisy like some of their past parties have been.... but probably not even then.

I might enjoy the spectacle if the disliked neighbours were reported by someone else,tbf.

[gingerwhingerwife]

There will be ten of us. So no

[TrickorTreacle]

This is the reason why it's called Covid-1984. The Tories (a.k.a. "Ingsoc") have created an Orwellian state. This is making people turn against each other, handing them over to the thought police. Big Brother is watching you.

The sooner we can make Orwell fiction again, the better.

[Bikingbear]

Nope, unless they were having a massive OTT party.
Remember the song, "Neighbour's, Everybody needs good Neighbour's"

[Squirrelblanket]

Nope, I wouldn't even notice. And I'm sick of this Corona warrior dickhead behaviour. 🙄

[BlusteryShowers]

Absolutely not.

[HamishDent]

No, it’s not my place to police others. Ultimately it’s on their conscience not mine.

[Igotthemheavyboobs]

No, not under any circumstances.

[GreenClock]

My elderly neighbours are all really struggling with not seeing kids and grandkids. If I saw a 6+ family gathering at Christmas at any of their homes, I’d be delighted for them.

I hope that people with poor or nonexistent family relationships get to see their close friends too, and if the get-together involves more than 6, so be it.

[Disfordarkchocolate]

No. I'd be on some list at my local police station if I reported my neighbours every time they broke the rules. I think they do it 4 or 5 times a day.

[Plussizejumpsuit]

I wouldn't report them now. So definitely would not at Christmas

[Rosebel]

No, this year has been shit. People deserve to be with family /friends at Christmas.

[FlyingByTheSeatof]

No never.

Plus I won't staring out of the window counting every person going into someone's house. I'll be busy minding my own business.

[lyralalala]

The majority of my neighbours - no.

The one neighbour who has reported my family umpteen times (he actually thought when the rule of 6 came in my MIL and DS1 would have to move out...) for having non-existent parties, too many people over etc until he was told to behave by the community bobbies - Absolutely

If I'd been at home last weekend when the hypocritical prick had 15 family members round for his wife's birthday I'd have let him see how embarassing it is to have the police turn up while you are eating your dinner

[Firstworddinosaur]

I'd bitch about them on Mumsnet but I wouldn't report them.

[SymbollocksInteractionism]

Definitely not.
It is a terrifying thought that there are people out there who would

[MayFayre]

I wouldn’t but I would have no respect for them.

My neighbours have been breaking the guidance/law from the start, every single day.

[Ginfordinner]

No

[megletthesecond]

I wouldn't want to burden the police with extra crap tbh.
But if they have a huge get together I might mention it. Depends how tired and grumpy I am on Xmas day.

[randomer]

I would be jealous because I've got no friends,but I wouldn't snitch on them.

[Blondiney]

No but I'd seethe silently instead.

[ShesMadeATwatOfMePam]

Well that's a relief. I've seen too much of the whole "anyone not sticking rigidly to every rule no matter how nonsensical needs to be reported, because they're the whole reason people are dying. (Nothing to do with bojo and his Circus of course.)

Still 6% people said yabu. I did think it would be more judging by a lot of the covid threads, including one I've just seen where it was questioned that the rule of 6 was more important than leaving a potentially dying woman alone at christmas.

Glad to see there is still some common sense.

[Doingitaloneandproud]

Nope cause I'm not a dick. I just want a nice Christmas with my family and hope that everyone else can have that
