Popular Post chrisp65 Posted April 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2020 My parents have just put in an order for crab sticks, strawberries, 2 small bars of galaxy and 1 large bar of galaxy and 2 x mini tiramisu with tomorrow’s shopping. I’m just gonna tell the police seized it. Started off as bread n milk to top up their online shop and every week I think they’re seeing what item breaks us. Well congratulations, it was **** crab sticks. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my first thought was it was something dodgy to do with rich people moving money about but then I figured it probably meant those who regularly transfer some of their wages to their family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Out for a run today. Definitely seems more busy. More cars about and more people. I think people are breaching the lockdown more as boredom is kicking in. A friend of mine mentioned the factory he works at are opening Monday with reduced staff, could be that their has been a government tip off of relaxing some of the lockdown rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most just did it because they felt it was the right thing to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Belgium stats are so high because they are counting any people that died with suspected symptoms as Covid 19. Not sure if that is the correct way to proceed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hoping I must be over it now, definitely the Mrs is, she's been painting the fences. I've been putting up a new shed, but I tell you what I am knackered much more than usual. I cycle so see myself as reasonably fit, but I couldn't even fit up a plastic shed today. Still cant taste or smell f*** all mind. As for testing, they are still not testing anyone but NHS staff an that is only once, as they wanted my Mrs back tomorrow but refused to retest her so she's having another week off. They not interested in testing me even though I had symptoms. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that in the legal sense, your garden is still considered your home. My uneducated best guess, before you could say "I left my house to buy essential groceries and I'm now doing other things. But my purpose for leaving the house complied with the law" Now they can say "and now you're done, so piss off home" whereas they couldn't (legally) do that before as the law only referred to the reason why you went out, not why you were staying out. Edit - and I'm not sure I really agree with the quoted Twitterer's analysis about it affecting everyone. If you're acting within the spirit of what the lockdown is trying to achieve rather than just the specific legal terminology of how it is being enforced, I can't see how the change will affect anybody.

I think it's that the reasonable excuse was needed in order to leave the place where you live and not to remain away from, i.e. be outside of the place where you are living. Edit: Beaten to it above.

There was a big rush on it, we got sent it at 11pm and everyone in the department had to answer it by 1:30pm I'd quite happily get back into the office.

Seat68 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 19 minutes ago, bickster said: My instant thought was front gardens are now off limits Too late to help this fella. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/tayside_and_central/7314643.stm Quote A 58-year-old man who fed pigeons wearing only a skimpy thong which was back to front has been fined £150. Neighbours spotted David Batchelor in his street in Perth in the underwear which left his genitals partly exposed. Perth Sheriff Court heard that children walking home from school had been passing by at the time. His lawyer said that Batchelor had been drunk and there was no sexual element to the way he had behaved. He admitted committing a breach of the peace. When officers had turned up to investigate they found Batchelor still partially dressed and with his flimsy thong on the wrong way round. At the court previously, Fiscal Depute Hannah Kennedy said: "The witnesses watched as the accused walked between the common close entrance and the pavement. He went behind some bushes outside his house. "There were a large number of schoolchildren passing his home address at this stage. "He returned to his flat then reappeared still wearing this item. "It was still exposing his genitalia. The witnesses were alarmed by his actions and concerned for the children who had passed." Batchelor claimed he had not seen anyone around, but then confessed he looked at everyone as they went past and the "schoolgirls were bonnie."

This isn't the case. Gardens are specifically called out as being part of your property, and therefore ok. It's to deal with the loophole explained above. It got some publicity when some barristers were discussing the issue on Twitter a week or so ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
