Still coming and going as normal honestly can not believe it. Would report it but don't want to be a busy body!

If there's always going to be exceptions shall we just accept there's no point and give in. I despairn

It is no ones business because we dont know the full circumstances. We are "allowed" to continue caring for elderly or disabled relatives who need it so that may be the case (not ideal to take the kids but there may be no choice).

Personally I have better things to do in the house than to be curtain twitching to see what my neighbours are doing.

I despair at this comment and you use common sense and realise that not one box fits all....

The vast majority of non key workers will fit into a box, over half of key workers can fit into the box... however the other half will have migrated reasons to not fit into the box, be that using family for childcare, using a colleagues car to get to work instead of using public transport, using a family member as childcare to the child is with 1-2 adults in a different house hold to that of using school with other key workers children and teachers who’ve mixed in other households/public places/working environments.

Their not old they have a son in his late teens. Their DIL is a beauty therapist so she isn't at work anymore. I'm not curtain twitching I can hear them shouting when they get out the car.
I get on well with the family I've only stopped speaking to her last week or so.

Lazyarse get her told. You don't need to shout or swear but give her a copy of the instructions on the government website and tell her you will no longer be able to serve her a daily paper.

Threads like this really do show quite clearly how totalitarian regimes start.

Report OP.

It's taking the piss out of the NHS & all of the other essential workers risking their lives to work.

Absolutely despicable. I would be fuming.

It is really frustrating when we see this. My neighbour continues having family visiting her, same routine everyday. She manages a care home. Don't know how she could feel it appropriate for her to be in the street clapping NHS workers last week after putting them and patients at risk. However, I have told myself I am likely to see this a lot -we are all managing in different ways, and I do not want to get angry and stressed about this. Just not worth it. I feel more angry with the gov. and their lack of testing and taking so long to sort out PPE. This whole thing is going to cause a lot of anger want to limit mine.

Oh yeah. History shows how all totalitarian regimes start with a global pandemic

Hmm
