I would say a full bus a few weeks ago

School. Even my classroom is a lot more crowded than anywhere else I've been, but the corridors are ridiculous!!

Itsabeautifuldayheyhey · 30/09/2020 21:18

Supermarkets.

Danglingmod · 30/09/2020 21:22

Exactly, MsAwesomeDragon... Your standard classroom would be illegal anywhere else - it's 60 x more full than my pharmacy (pharmacy is double the size and only one person allowed in at once) - but the corridors are on another level Grin

School - only place you can legally meet up with 2000 other inside :)

School gates on 1st day of term. Chaos - they've improved it since.
Easyjet flight but everyone was in masks albeit not all wearing them properly.
Five Guys during EOTHO - grim
Felt much less safe at school.

A two floor cafe on the Devon coast. There was a queue for the loos which into the stairs so everyone entering or leaving had to squeeze past half a dozen people and all the waiting staff had to do the same all the time.

Alton Towers.

wendz86 · 30/09/2020 21:30

Whipsnade zoo . Not all of it but last time we went there were people everywhere .

Also went into London a few weeks back and streets were pretty busy but tube was actually fine .

Kittywampus · 30/09/2020 21:31

The school run. My children have different start and finish times so I spend a lot of time around the school gates.

Coffeeandaride · 30/09/2020 21:32

Local scenic bridge. Never seen it so busy! Couldn’t physically social distance to walk across, didn’t hang around.

Frappuccinofan · 30/09/2020 21:33

Zara

Frappuccinofan · 30/09/2020 21:33

Scratch that, IKEA! The queues last month were ridiculously long

Edinburgh

LilithTheKitty · 30/09/2020 21:38

Llangollen. We went up to Castell Dinas, which was quieter, but the walk through the village from the car park was shockingly busy. Queues outside all thr shops and the pavements were packed.

The “local scenic bridge” was Llangollen viaduct. Grin

I’ve not been anywhere busy. I have been to shops including Ikea and Primark, pubs, restaurants, the cinema. None of them have been busy or no social distancing in place.

SilenceOfTheEmu · 30/09/2020 21:42

Surprisingly Morrison’s! Was packed, and most people weren’t wearing masks and they certainly weren’t social distancing in the slightest. I got so fed up that I just walked out without buying anything

manicinsomniac · 30/09/2020 21:43

Asda on Sunday it was rammed

Me too! I've never seen it like that (in Covid times, that is). Queues down every aisle to get to the tills and people trying to shop in the aisles too. All restrictions seem to have gone.

It made school look safe as houses and that's saying something!!

Beebeeboo2 · 30/09/2020 21:44

School run

Valenciaoranges · 30/09/2020 21:45

I never go anywhere other than the supermarket or school, which is obviously very busy working in a boarding school.

Abracadabra12345 · 30/09/2020 21:47

@zafferana

Bakewell in August - hideous!
Me too! It was hot, humid and heaving. We didn’t stay long
rslsys · 30/09/2020 21:47

Any and every branch of Morrisons, stand back, isolate just to be elbowed out of the way by the 70+ brigade who are intent on getting what's on the shelf you are next to!

BrizNiz · 30/09/2020 21:56

Sports direct. It's an awful place to shop at the best of times, but particularly bad at the moment. Busy, no social distancing and it looked unclean

MJMG2015 · 30/09/2020 21:59

My friends back garden -with her & her DH & 2kids. All 2m apart.

I'm very risk averse with Covid (over 60, diabetic & a couple of other issues. I havent been to a pub/cafe/restaurant or anything.
but funnily enough I was looking forward to our local bonfire night. It's a HUGE school, fireworks display on one field, bonfire on the other. Always lots of people, but far from
Crowded & a good fundraiser, they could have reduced ticket sales & increased the prices. But they've just cancelled it 😢

Whitby in late July. The centre was heaving - narrow cobbled streets with no room for any kind of distancing.
