To think we shouldn't have been questioned about our method of transport

I'd booked a meal tonight in a tier 2 restaurant. One bubble. This was clarified when I'd phoned earlier in week.

We arrived in 4 cars for various reasons.

The Front of house politely questioned how we could come 4 cars and still be in one bubble. Confused

I have utmost of respect for the work hospitality staff do (I work similarly) but it's not their role to police our journeys.

AIBU?

@Dangermouseis42now you can socially distance from someone in your support bubble.

Just because we've joined forces doesn't mean we have to take a risk of passing a virus between us.

You haven't understood support bubble at all.

When it's perfectly obvious even you don't consider yourself one household as you won't even travel in a car together with your DF

Four cars for six people pretending to be one household ... All the restaurant did was ask a police question as you went in due to your suspicious behaviour ... they risk thousands of pounds in fines.. and you somehow feel offended, rather than understanding or empathetic . It must be terrible irritating for you, bc the precautions others take are not important compared to 'precautions' you believe you take.

I think your thread is poorly judged

Polite question ... not police question- doh!

Johnmenses eventually answered our questions, thank you OP for doing so. I think she realises that most of us think she was being VU in objecting to the restaurants questions, but I think certain pp's are vilifying her too much now. If you don't believe the OP that is really your problem now. I don't believe that any amount of questions/statements are going to suddenly make her say "OK you sussed me out, we were really from four different households and I was chancing my luck (selfishly), and the restaurant questioning us really spooked me!" So can we please now stop all the nastiness?
