So what will Nicola do?

[SephrinaX]

So Scotland has a press conference at 5:30pm, what do you think she'll be saying?

Same rules as England - or with a slight difference?

So no school till the 18th what are those of us who have to work going to do? Last time the schools were closed so were the workplaces we work at but not this time.

Bags packed, leaving before "festive period" kicks in. You can say I'm selfish but I've been isolating with a baby since march!

Netherlands are shut so flying to Aberdeen was his only option. I cant make sense of the Scottish rules. I interpreted it as travel restricted 23rd-27th. Dp thought from tomorrow onwards.

Not sure if it makes a difference but he was planning on coming home for a few months rather than just for Christmas. His work has dried up in Norway

The current rules say you should not travel between Scotland and England .

So he might be allowed to transit through Aberdeen onto a London flight. The airline will know .

The current rules would allow for "essential travel."

Looking at essential travel I’m not sure any of those would apply in this case. I guess the moving house one might apply .

End of Employment/ repatriation?

That would seem essential.

It’s must be essential or how else is he going to get home right . I’m sure it will be fine .

@Bridecilla i am pretty sure the travel thing is from tomorrow. My brother just drove up from Kent (after a rapid covid test...negative!) And he was saying luckily he made it today otherwise he'd not have been allowed tomorrow.

But anyway I'd still say he could come. And if UK is his home then he is allowed.

@Horehound it’s been in place for the past six weeks.

Just checked with him. He's got no address here - he just stays at mum's when he comes home. He has 2 kids but doesn't live with their mum.

He was due to view a new build house here on the 23rd

@Bridecilla so he will be putting down his Mum’s address on the passenger locator form when he lands . So perfectly reasonable for him to travel over the border to the address he has provided .

They actually said today no travel across uk from tomorrow.
Maybe previously there was no travel over tiers but if you were linked to the same tiers you could travel.

No boris Johnston said that Nicola Sturgeon has banned travel to other parts of the UK from November it was put into law.

@Horehound it’s been the law not to cross the border since 20th November

Tier 6 you aren't even allowed to look out of the window.

Well he can travel actually because he's sellinghis house.

@Horehound well that would be essential travel that you have dropped in now as information now that you realize the advice you were giving was actually against the law.

So? He is selling his house it's been on the market for over a year and now it's under offer so he's come to pack up all his stuff....

sunshinehousexo nurseries are also closed until 18th Jan unless key worker or vulnerable
