Had mine at the beginning of Sept and was fully expecting a cup of tea and a couple of biscuits. Stoney ground - Rob

That’s us, Normandie, on nighttime curfew now.

They're damned if they do, and damned if they don't. I always understood a "circuit breaker" kept tripping until the underlying problem was solved!

There appears to be a rising expectation that the first vaccines will be coming into use around christmas, which would be great.

I think that they are too late already. We need to be a heck of a lot more draconian with those who resolutely are non-compliant.

If you were home secretary, I'd be considering emigration!

It was really low down here but rising steadily now, I reckon the summertime influx of holiday makers or students returning to uni have made things worse. Bournemouth council in particular wanted to stop a mass influx of covidiots in the summer but Boris refused.
RogerM wrote:I think the north is culturally different. They are used to walking in and out of each others houses, uninvited, at all times of day. A northerner who moved in to our village in Devon moved back because she couldn't get used to the lack of regular uninvited callers. There also seems to be an attitude of "we don't do what the govt says, and in particular a Tory Govt". A friend who spent a few days in Sheffield ended up not visiting anywhere as he just didn't feel safe with the clear disregard for social distancing and non-wearing of face coverings. The south does seem, on the whole, to be more compliant. Just my two penn'orth in a non-political way!
