A city centre bar in August on a Saturday night. Although it was table service only there was no social distancing going on.

We have been to loads of theme parks, some have been pretty busy but easy to space out once you are in there.

Ikea. And Longleat zoo. Heaving

Bickles · 30/09/2020 20:31

Longleat too. Also Weymouth Sea Life Centre and a beach nearby, but we left the beach immediately!

Bakewell in August - hideous!

Scarby9 · 30/09/2020 20:33

Newcastle between Grey Street and the Quayside about 7.30pm on the first Saturday in September. Not surprised the city is now under extra restrictions - so many large groups and zero social distancing.

Sparkledot · 30/09/2020 20:34

Smyths toys, was awful.

Tigger03 · 30/09/2020 20:34

Either the Lake District in August or Aldi straight after work

The most socially distanced place was the cafe in IKEA. The busiest place was the tills in IKEA. Weird!

School corridors during lesson changeover.

Glitterynails · 30/09/2020 20:36

School (I’m a teacher)

ohthegoats · 30/09/2020 20:36

School at end of lunchtime.

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 30/09/2020 20:37

Loch lomond shores. We went to go to the sea life center. That was fine but the shores had a market on and the place was teaming with people. We were too bothered but my mum came and she was pretty anxious.

Comefromaway · 30/09/2020 20:38

For me Home Bargains - I walked out.

For Dh inset day at his college

For Dd college changeover & break times. Crowded corridors & no way to social distance and mixing of bubbles.

A flight to Portugal on the very small window it was off the quarantine list!

MushMonster · 30/09/2020 20:39

Local supermarkets, especially around the fruit and veg section.
Rest of places are nicely distanced, but we have not been out for lunch or drinks much at all. I think two pub lunches has been all since lockdown.

CuppaZa · 30/09/2020 20:40

Ikea

CottonSock · 30/09/2020 20:41

Chessington world of adventures. Hell

We went for a walk in a local house&gardens type thing on Sunday, and I was shocked at how many people were there. You have to go through a gate to be let in and there were people offering hand sanitiser, and I think it would have been more responsible to limit numbers.

Honestly, it was heaving, and the play areas were shocking. I know we're as much to blame as anyone else as we were there too, but I would expect the owners/staff to limit numbers responsibly.

I actually sent a photo to my mum saying look, it's fine for me to be here but I can't come for a chat in your garden. It's getting silly.

Wolke · 30/09/2020 20:41

School at change of lesson.

Enrico · 30/09/2020 20:42

Primark. It was very crowded. There were markers on the floor but everyone was ignoring them and in truth there were just too many of us even if we'd wanted to keep to them. As I walked out without buying anything I asked the guy on the door what they were doing to control numbers and he said "we don't really believe in all that". Feel sorry for any staff who don't agree.

Spikeyball · 30/09/2020 20:42

Local supermarket around the bread and veg aisles early in lockdown.

ILoveAnOwl · 30/09/2020 20:43

Tenby. It was insane!

CeeceeBloomingdale · 30/09/2020 20:44

The school yard

WhiteChocTwix · 30/09/2020 20:46

Barcelona before the numbers went up.
