Tim of Fife Jan 2021 4:30pm, 4 Jan 2021 3,104 posts	0 Tim of Fife Just thankful that exercise not restricted time-wise in Scotland. I wouldn't have wanted to break the law, but would have done for the sake of my mental health. Mercifully, not an issue.
EvilPixie Jan 2021 4:30pm, 4 Jan 2021 21,977 posts	0 EvilPixie this all goes back to people saying March was illegal and taking action that (if I recall correctly) was agreed by the courts so instead of action now there is a delay of 2-4 days which explains the "things will get tougher in due course" but will also bring complaints about not moving quickly

jennyh Jan 2021 4:52pm, 4 Jan 2021 5,274 posts	0 jennyh AJLB - from a few pages back, sorry, I don't think I explained myself properly. I wasn't suggesting that was the case during the March lockdown, I was referring to the fact that under the latest Tier 4 restrictions in Wales, places of worship are allowed to remain open and conduct indoor services, but in addition to all organised sporting activity being prohibited, you are not even allowed to meet outside with anyone who isn't in your household. I believe that you are allowed to meet with one person outdoors in Tier 4 regions of England, and from what I've just read on the news even under the stricter lockdown coming in for Scotland, this will be allowed. I was just surprised that our rules were so strict on outdoor interactions, but still permitted certain indoor interactions. However, I do appreciate that what I said probably came across as a bit of an ill thought through rant, and it certainly wasn't meant to be an attack on religion, so I do apologise. I do also appreciate that many/most places of worship do provide a lot of community support, and that measures have been taken to make them as covid-secure as possible.
