Yep, dilemmas for many of us in very different ways at the moment. People like us who obey the rules, take our responsibilities seriously suddenly find ourselves in a position of wondering whether or not to break a rule which has no consequence.

I've both accidentally and knowingly crossed the border between Merseyside, Tier 2, and Lancashire, Tier 3 several times. On a bike it makes no difference.
But I'm sure that you possess that one thing that sadly a lot of people don't 'Common Sense' so unless they send out Drones you will be fine I'm sure :okay:.

I have a regular route which has me dipping in and out of Wales 'and did so during their lockdown period' but it was almost unavoidable at times and was only for a few miles.

Another 88 minutes before I can allow myself to eat.
I admire your discipline :laugh: Just thinking when I make my cuppa I might have a slice of toast with it.

Not that it is relevant to me anyway but I am never sure what Boris actually says.
He is the latest in a line of Scapegoats (PM's) that is an easy target for others to point the finger of blame at. I don't claim to know anything about Politics 'or like/dislike Boris' but I'm pretty sure that he has 'others' around him who are supposed to make decisions but as the 'Manager' of the outfit sadly the book stops with him. It is easy for the other parties to blame somebody else as it deflects the fact that they have no ideas of their own. Nobody had dealt with a Global pandemic before as far as I'm aware.

Oh bugger, I got myself drawn into the serious stuff :blush: More fluff and niceness please :okay:

Did someone mention putting the kettle on? Coffee. Milk. 1 sugar if you please.:cuppa:
Same as me. I have tried without sugar but not for me. I need one spoonful too.

I see there were warnings to people on trains leaving London saying that social distancing wasn't possible due to the numbers on the train so if you didn't like it then get off. I wonder how many infected people were on the trains taking Covid19 to every area in the UK. Dummies.
The local Police were stopping private hire taxis at the weekend and found that they were 'knowingly' transferring people from higher tiers into lower ones and vice versa.. They knew what they were doing was wrong:stop:

The labour party via Rentagob Ffoulkes keeps trying to get our covid briefings by Nicola Sturgeon and others taken off air. They do not want us to find out anything it seems. These broadcasts are informative and non political but pretty clear unlike the mumblings from other quarters.
