This Strictly final is the best ever.
I’ve no idea who to vote for, they’ve all been AMAZING 😍
I've only got half an eye on it. Mrs P has three :blink:

Bill Bailey would get my vote.

Can't stand Mitzi.....

OK, I'll go first. Bojo has thrown a grenade in to our Christmas plans which were all strictly (see what I did there) within the rules.

Now we will meet No 3 son, partner and our new grandchild for a walk Christmas Eve - rule of six.

Christmas Day will be us, No 1and No 2 sons. All good and legal so far.

Now we hit a problem. I feel No 2 son should return to his house Christmas night. I've undertaken not to drink Christmas Day so I can legally drive.

Mrs P thinks No 2 son can stay overnight because a day is 24 hours.

Sort that one Boris! Mrs P says a day is 24 hours, Chorley Paul thinks you mean Christmas Day - that is during the day.

Idiot government. Even daft old pensioners can see the holes in this one!

Nicola Sturgeon was very clear on the rules here. Amnesty from one minute past midnight on christmas day until midnight the same day. No overnight stay and then all mainland on level4 but islands level3 and definitely no travel to or from England.
No doubt the ferries will be fully booked by now with asylum seekers.

That's how I interpret it for England. My wife doesn't. I wish our government would be clear, I also wish, and have for a VERY long time, Nicola Sturgeon was UK PM!

I think I'm going to have a battle on my hands as my in-laws tend to interpret the rules to suit themselves. I was hoodwinked into meeting a 'few' of them for a socially distanced walk on a local bridalway 2weeks ago but when we met there was about 16 of the buggers! I felt so embarrassed as people were 'quite rightly' staring and muttering but they are the typical family who will say "oh its alright we haven't got any symptoms".. Lovely people but prone to selfishness when it suits :stop:
