    For me you SHOULD be allowed to see your family as long as common sense is used. For example I see no issue with going to see family for a brew and a hug etc. as long as no one is showing any symptoms as you know full well where your family have been and who they have been in contact with. As long as they have been adhering to distancing guidance then it should be fine. Most are not working now anyway (in my familys case anyway apart from my mum in NHS) so they are not going out to work so are not coming into contact with others.

    If my mum, dad or sister etc were carrying the virus then someone in that household would be ill with the virus by now surely as they all live together but none are ill and are all sticking to rules when out so I cannot see a reason as to why we are still told to stay away. I like most have not seen my family in some weeks now and will continue to obey to rules until told otherwise but for me it seems silly that we are seeing people allowed to go back to work on public transport with strangers who you don't know from Adam but yet not allowed to your own parents house for a drink.

    In Wath Tesco earlier this week, there was one bloke that went the wrong way down every bl**dy aisle. If I went up (following the arrows), he went down. If I went down, he went up. It really isn't difficult.

    A bloke at the end of each aisle with a cattle prod would sort that out.

    I'm quite sure a trolley mounted lance would do it. He was fairly old and I've got a fair bit of weight behind my charge...

    Don’t agree. They could be asymptomatic. They could have unknowingly touched something in the supermarket with COVID. You can’t be sure that they aren’t infected.

    Mate of mine got the keys to a new house last week. 4 weeks from agreeing to buy. Turnaround on property sales is quick, I’m guessing due not many house sales going through, and solicitors not drawing it out as much....
