Are more people following the rules now?

[Watermelon999]

Just that really......

Anyone still not following the rules?

What are your reasons/ rationale.

We are following most of the rules but we are seeing close family with no social distancing. I had a baby over lockdown and I’m not going to deny grandparents holding their first grandchild.

We are following the rules, but I only have a brother who is in our bubble. It’s been really quiet in our village since the tier introductions, so I think people here are mainly sticking to the rules.

No longer following the rules (except the ones we're forced to follow like wearing a mask to enter a shop). It's incredibly cruel to expect people not to see their loved ones and when the politicians passing these ludacris laws can't even follow them themselves, it says an awful lot. They can stick them where the sun doesn't shine

I don't know anyone who has been affected by Covid and in that sense we are extremely fortunate but we have lost someone to suicide so, no thanks. Enough is enough.

*ludicrous

I'm continuing to see my mum and dad. And will do so regardless of what tier we end up in. I follow everything else

I think fewer people are following the rules rather than more?

I am following them but I'm in tier 1 so it's not difficult for me.

I am.

I'm in tier 2. I'm following most of the rules apart from keeping to one childcare bubble - I'm having to use various family members to help with childcare over half term. I don't feel guilty, I'm a single parent and I need to work so I've no choice.

My mil is in a tier 2 area. Since Friday see has met a friend at her home, on Saturday met another friend in a pub ( wasn't even asked if in same household ) and tomorrow getting her hair cut in someone's house . She says she not about to lock herself away I'm not impressed with her.

We continue to see family in our houses and will continue to do so. I don’t throw parties, have anyone else round and we are limited as all pubs and restaurants and closed in our area so not much we can do really.

We are, and I have not spotted blatantly ignoring them yet. Minus an acquittance who seems not to care much when it comes to socialiazing
We are on local lockdown. I think it is around 6 weeks now

I'm in tier 2. We took our toddler and visited my parents (250 miles away, tier 1 area) for the first time in 11 months. We met them indoors as one parent is housebound, although stayed socially distant.
Yes, it's a rule break. It's the first time we've even breached guidance, and is not the start of any future breaches. We are super careful, and see virtually no one, the biggest "risk" we take is our toddler using playgrounds. But I needed this and my housebound parent needed this - both of us are close to mental breakdown by now. We know it'll probably be the best part of another year until we can see, them again the way things are going. So I'm not apologising for this.

This ! I've been seeing my parents, sister, in laws. In a few weeks time we are having our friends (another couple) over for drinks. I'm in Scotland and we have no end date in site of when I'm meant to be allowed to have people in my house. So they can ram it if they think I'm going to spend all winter seeing noone including friends.

We are - we are tier 2 and gm so will probably be tier 3 very soon. I am getting annoyed though - we know a child who should be self isolating and is playing out every day and mixing with everyone who is outside.
As much as I don't think lockdown is working, and yes I am fed up with it, especially with special needs children and one who is struggling immensely. It really baffles me why people take unnecessary risks like this?

We have just gone in to tier 2 and we have been following all rules throughout but I will not be following all of them anymore. We will continue to see my in-laws who lost their daughter ( not Covid) unexpected last month and I will let my children have play date with children from their school bubble at our house inside and out as It is clear to me that the benefits of that far far outweigh any tiny risks. Everything els we follow, masks, avoid public transport, crowds. Stay home and test if symptoms, stay home if told to self isolate. And I feel absolutely ok with that.

I only follow the ones I have to. So wearing face mask, social distancing in shops. I started seeing family again in June and I won't be stopping.

Only wearing a mask,social distancing and washing hands frequently.Still seeing friends and family,had enough of not seeing people in the lockdown,not doing it again.

We are in tier 2. We will be having one relative in the house but they would count as care and support for disabled ds. We are not seeing any other family or friends. If we have to self isolate we may have to take ds out of the house to avoid the house becoming unsafe due to his behaviour but that is allowed because of risk of harm.

So yes I think we are sticking to the rules.

also in tier 1
so no problem following rules

Yes we are. We are tier 2 and have a childcare bubble with my parents.

One of my children was previously shielded and both DH and I are teachers. We feel that’s enough risk exposure for us and are happy to follow the rules.

We are in tier 1, following the rule of 6 but not social distancing when we see family.

I'm in tier 2 .. went into tier 2 saturday 12am . I saw mygrandchild saturday afternoon. To be fair I do the rest if it , mask where possible, 2m , not socializing with friends , not seeing other family etc ( havent even family since feb and not too bothered either)

Currently in tier 1, and only see the odd friend and inlaws, so still following the rules. However, inlaws expected to enter tier 2 soon, and I am 38 weeks pregnant, so we will use inlaws for childcare when I go into labour no matter what tier we are all in, and we wont stop seeing family and a few friends. Inlaws and my parents will also be holding the baby, so no social distancing. Other than that, we wear masks etc.

I've always followed the rules to be honest. I've not found it that difficult as don't live very close to family to see them inside anyway. However I have definitely noticed shops and coffee shops are emptier than before (my county has just moved into tier 2) so think people are being more cautious.

I'm trying, but but then I can be called into meetings at work for 2 hours with lots of people, no masks, no ventilation, no social distancing, less than 1 metre apart. This is a tier 2 area.
This is in a school too, where I can come into contact with hundreds of kids.

My own children at different secondaries are micing with hundreds. Our bubbles include hundreds between us.

In Birmingham Mailbox yesterday only half the people had masks on in the inside bit. At Perry Barr One Stop and Stetchford shops it was the same.

I visited a chain coffee shop and a pub (both outside) for the first time in weeks. I was told not to worry about test and trace at the coffee shop. She said although there were other tables by us outside and it was required, she wouldn't be checking "if you know what I mean" and I really got the impression this woman was worried about her job and that it was in their best interests not to do t&t.
At the pub they briefly mentioned t&t.

Most of my friends and family are visiting/have people over. Most aren't bothered or don't know the rules.
