Would you call the police if neighbours had family round?

Just wondering if people will still call the police if next door had more than 2 households not in the garden?

I'm glad you find 120000 people dying an amusing game. I dont.

Can you tell me which part of my post is factually incorrect?

I found it funny too. Save some sanctimony for me, not fair that Raspberry gets all of it.

I too always have to giggle at Covid bingo 🤷🏻‍♀️

I stand with @RaspberryCoulis and @LucilleTheVampireBat

We had an Easter egg hunt this morning on my street, 8 kids, 16 adults. Adults stood appropriately apart, kids obviously didn't. Two of those adults are married police officers.. 😂

I think we all know the risk outdoors is tiny. Next month it’s jumping from 6 to 30 people .. yet I can’t see cases being any lower at that point!

Not a chance

SnowyPetals · 04/04/2021 15:01

Massive party of 100 people, I might think about it; some people over for lunch, no way.

lockeddownandcrazy · 04/04/2021 15:06

No, never would have done either

saraclara · 04/04/2021 15:09

@TheImber

Roll your eyes all you like. My best mates wife is currently bed ridden due to long COVID and someone I work with died.
I lost two friends to it. My daughter is a nurse in a Covid ward, and saw more deaths in a few weeks than she's seen in her entire career. She's very very cautious.

But we had six of us plus her baby in my garden yesterday for lunch and a long catch-up. We're outside. There was next to no risk and it's allowed.

We're not in 'this situation' because six people sit outside in the same garden.

Beebumble2 · 04/04/2021 15:12

No not at all and we’ve abided by every rule. ( getting fed up of it now )I have been wondering whether people who live in quite isolated houses with no neighbours are enjoying a family Easter indoors.

SunshineCake · 04/04/2021 15:18

No but I'd give them a wide berth in the future.

@Baileysforchristmas

That’s good to hear, I have Mum and Dad, my son and his girlfriend coming for lunch today, my mums worried we’re all going to get arrested 😂 my neighbours are lovely so don’t think they will care but just worried what others would think.
FFS tell us where you are and we can report you for a fucking reverse thread.
GillBiggeloesHair · 04/04/2021 15:22

Hell no.

EvilOnion · 04/04/2021 15:30

No.

We are 3 households meeting today but 2 of those formed an extended household (single parent household) so technically only 2 with 9 people in total. We will be having dinner indoors - not throwing a wild party.

We all need to start getting back to some form of normality now.

saraclara · 04/04/2021 15:33

@SunshineCake it's not a reverse thread. Read the OP again.

memberofthewedding · 04/04/2021 15:46

I probably would not even notice what my neighbors are doing because I have so little interest in them unless they were holding a rave with several dozen people. I also despise snitches.

SunshineCake · 04/04/2021 16:15

I don't need to. She is clearly asking about herself which isn't what she said in her OP.

Sparklingbrook · 04/04/2021 16:17

I don't know why all the information wasn't in the OP, it would have made things easier. Reading the OP again it's not clear which the OP is. I assumed sticky beak neighbour to begin with.

Northernsoulgirl45 · 04/04/2021 16:21

No

Ohnomoreno · 04/04/2021 16:21

At no point would I have done that. Maybe if someone was having a huge party but not a handful of family.

PhilCornwall1 · 04/04/2021 16:29

I think it would depend on the neighbours and who they had round. If it was my local councillors or MP

It's your civic duty (oh shit, how many times have we read or heard that in the last 12 months!!) to report those fuckers. Local Councillors, generally as thick as shit (I've worked with many) and MPs? Well the same really.

ZiggyBaby · 04/04/2021 16:36

@SunshineCake

No but I'd give them a wide berth in the future.
I'm sure they'd be devastated
Kokosrieksts · 04/04/2021 16:37

No.

Notavegan · 04/04/2021 16:38

No way. My neighbours buried their mum this week, cancer in her 40s. Family gathering was totally justified

earthyfire · 04/04/2021 16:44

No I wouldn't and if I had family around and people thought I was a dick for it, it really wouldn't bother me at all.

Goldieloxx · 04/04/2021 16:46

Yes

RaspberryCoulis · 04/04/2021 16:51

She Sells Sanctimony. Cracking song.
