I've just returned from the beach for the first time this year. It's like August Bank Holiday down there and I don't go to the most popular spots. I'm sure a lot come from up country somewhere and I hardly heard any English being spoken. No one seems at all bothered about distancing on the prom and big groups everywhere, most behaving as if there's no problem with the country at all.
After seeing large groups of youngsters at local beauty spots over the last couple of weeks and given the footballers who have tested positive I think that all 16 to 25 year-olds should be tested and confined as I'm sure they are the largest group of carriers without realising all the subsequent consequences if they infect others as they will probably not show any symptoms.

I'd extend that AR, to 14 to 25 or even 27 year-olds.
Groups of 4 "teens/twenties" together in cars turning up to sit in the sun and drink together. No point social distancing when they get out - they've all been in the same car. Getting cross with the amount of litter (beer cans and bottles) and this is just any old village green, but one that happens to have plenty of bins.

I'm doing nothing different. Going to work. Exercise once a day. Shop once a week. Stay in my hotel room

I dont plan on changing many things at all. The only change is my daughter and family will come over into garden but they will have their own toilet to use and will be social distancing - the reason I am happy for this is they have been very strict during lockdown and dont really go anywhere apart from food shopping. My son is a different matter.......

I also think the additional lift is too soon in England but I’m glad to see restrictions being lifted in Scotland and Wales. I do think the meeting people rules reflect what’s been going on anyway. Our next door neighbours, two lads in their 20s have been mixing with a couple of different households outside.
We went out into the hills for a walk last weekend and were away quite early. As we drove back there was a massive queue of traffic heading near where we had been as there’s a local beauty spot with a waterfall. Sadly the council tweeted pics later of loads of litter.
I won’t change much either except that I can train live with my PT outdoors and I’ve been OW swimming in the sea. I’m still avoiding my beach after about 8am but I generally don’t go there on sunny days anyway.

Just got back from Aldi - noticeably less social distancing than last time I went, and I was the only customer in there with a face covering. Overheard one of the other customers commenting on lack of distancing too.

It is completely breaking down.
Just seen a couple walk straight into a house through the front door. Definitely not part of the household.
In another garden are family members from a trio of households. No distancing
