To be irritated by the constant references to the UK lockdown when it’s only an English lockdown.

[Baws]

Why are the media referring to the current 4 week English lockdown as a UK lockdown when it only applies to England?
I live in Wales where we are about to come out of a 2 week firebreak lockdown and I’m being bombarded with media reports about the second U.K. lockdown. I’ve had 2 emails today from chainstores telling me what services will be available to me while they are closed. No you won’t, you’ll be open as normal where I live on Monday! 🙄
Don’t get me wrong, I do think there should be more consistency between the 4 nations but England is not the only country in the U.K.!

It's like when the Scottish schools are off any post mentioning kids doing anything is met with 'why aren't they at school?' Now it's 'you can't go to the shops, they're not open'.

I've just listened to the radio saying that GCSEs/A Levels + are cancelled for 2021.

My ears pricked up. "That's monumental" I thought.

It's for Wales.

Still monumental, but not reflected in "UK" press today.
