Would you meet close friends indoors for food?

[shesellsseashells99]

Just that question really.

Would you meet up with friends indoors at someone's house to share food and drinks? How many would you deem to be an acceptable amount of people...?

No. Outdoor only.

I would with another household but under local lockdown so can’t just now. Will be as soon as allowed.
If they continue this through winter we won’t be able to stick to it. Not having a winter with no social life whatsoever!

What I mean is- if they put us back on the same restrictions as the rest of the country I’ll be ok with that so 2 households but this no one in the house or garden isn’t sustainable.

No.

Only outside, not indoors.

Not doing indoors unless very spacious/ventilated. But as it is against guidance, wouldn't meet more than one household anyway.

Yes we Stayed two nights at my in laws house, six of us but only two households so was within the rules not sure social distancing was number standard throughout and certainly not while eating but we tried our best and there was no physical touching, lots of time spent in the garden. We were just relieved to see them since they leave far away and another national lockdown would mean we could have gone a very long time without seeing them if we didn’t over the summer.

Yes, we have, it’s allowed isn’t it? We’ve only had 2 households indoors, 3 out of doors.

I went with 4 friends to a restaurant for brunch today

First instinct was I wouldn’t have a massive problem with it

But actually we have not done this - one other family only. Have had people round a small group but not for a meal

Yes, mostly family

Yes

No I wouldn't but that's because I have seen many cases that have been transmitted this way. For every case there will be a gazillion other households who get away with it. It a lottery really. I'm just not ready to risk it.

No not at the moment, whilst the weather is good enough we are sticking to outdoors. Also it’s two households allowed indoors at the moment, so the number of people is irrelevant (as long as there is enough space for social distancing).

No, because I want schools to open and stay open, and mixing households is the thing that's causing the rate to rise in certain areas.

Yes, but only one person for lunch/dinner/drinks at a time. We sat at the - large - kitchen table, and kept the back door open.

I think everyone wants schools to open and stay open, but the latest is a vaccine won’t be ready until winter 2021, so we can’t not mix Households until then!!

No, outside only.

Hilarious most people don't know what the law is

@Han334
Do you mean the guidelines?

Yeah I’ve eaten with friends indoors- not that many times but it doesn’t bother me much. Check what people are comfortable with I guess.

Hell yes.

No.

Yes I have and will.

Yes, had 2 other couples for dinner last night. Planned to eat outside but the weather had other ideas.
