@eatlessmovemore

Are we allowed out for more than an hours exercise or is it just an hour ? X

Exercise was never restricted to an hour; it’s always been unlimited.

[user675761]

@emilyfrost it was restricted at the beginning of the first lockdown

[user675761]

Oops posted too soon

It was restricted to only going out once per day for exercise

[mangothoughts]

@Emilyfrost it was restricted to one form of exercise a day and time outside home to be minimised

[slashlover]

People are allowed to exercise outdoors alone, with their household or with one other person. Outdoor exercise and recreation will be allowed, but gyms will have to close

Let’s hope England have better weather than Wales for the lockdown, it’s rained every day here since the circuit break started.
Not fun going out to exercise in rain/wind!

@eatlessmovemore

So what shops will close then? All apart from food and medicine ?

I think there'll be more confirmation over coming days . It starts on Thursday and has to be confirmed by parliament Wednesday.

There were other things before that were said to be essential though like some DIY for home repairs

Hi Eatless, I think Boris also said they will be reviewing the situation in the different regions of England before 2 December to decide if the regions go back into tier restrictions or if lockdown will continue. One of the scientific advisors said, if I remember correctly, not to expect things to return to normal on 2 December and restrictions of some kind likely until Spring 2021.

Oh bugger I was hoping this would mean we didn't have to face another 4 months restrictions.

How about opticians? Or should we go for a motorway drive to get our eyesight checked?

[Ellapaella]

Sorry if it's already been asked but does anyone know about gyms?

[milkysmum]

I hope they make things clearer in the coming days. I am very selfishly concerned that I am meant to be getting carpets fitted on 12th November- I have no idea if this will be allowed or not!?

[slashlover]

Sorry if it's already been asked but does anyone know about gyms?

Seriously? Look at my post from...20 MINUTES before you posted? It's literally FIVE above yours.

[slashlover]

Everyone just read the guidance, If it's not on here then people won't know.

Oh F off @slashlover
Get over yourself

It was never just an hour.....

[slashlover]

Any other questions you could have easily looked for yourself or read in the whole 60 posts before you asked? RTFT has never been more needed.

[milkysmum]

Well aren't you just a bundle of joy slashover....?

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

Ok then @slashlover .... answer this one from the info you linked to:
What if you are in a bubble with a single person who lives a long way outside your area and to care for them, you need to travel and stop over? Info says you can still have a bubble - but the support bubble is not given as a reason to travel/ stop over. Not clear to me from the info you linked to so maybe you shouldn't be so harsh on people who are struggling to understand info

[slashlover]

to visit members of your support bubble or provide care for vulnerable people, or as a volunteer

would be the closest if they are vulnerable then you can care for them. If it's not in the government page then nobody here will know will they?

[NoBloodyHolly]

But what about shops @slashlover?

[slashlover]

[RockingMyFiftiesNot]

would be the closest if they are vulnerable then you can care for them. If it's not in the government page then nobody here will know will they?

I asked only because you were telling people to read the government pages. I did. It's still not clear - as visiting elderly relative in your bubble NOT explicitly a reason to travel/ stop over. You can't make unpleasant comments about reading the info and then be equally as rude when you're called out on the info not being clear.

[StealthPolarBear]

Sometimes people don't just post for dry answers to factual questions. They post for a bit of discussion or chat about the specifics and the implications for them. Some people are a bit lonely. Starting a thread can help. If you feel it's a waste of your time you are not obliged to participate.

[chocolatemonster]

What about driving lessons? Can't see that mentioned anywhere

Last lockdown driving tests were suspended for everyone aside from key workers. Assume this time will be the same until further guidance is published in the coming days.
