At least we've been treated like adults. I would go the other way. I don't think people in Scotland are being treated like adults, they are being handled with kid gloves, which is probably a better route than offering people to read a message as they wish. Locations in England will be a shambles this weekend if the weather is anything like decent.

So you've looked in on the Scottish television briefings as well as the English ones on BBC, and made your judgement based on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and in her intention to get her own way on Independance regardless of her country voting against it, and not asking for it in any great number. What, in your opinion, do you think I should have looked at 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of arrows on the floor and someone to advise you which way to go as you walk in.. Every day we tell plenty of people they are going the wrong way.. With the usual response "oh, that's what the arrows mean".. The country is sadly full of morons who will now decide "lockdown is over".. You cannot tell people to look after themselves as many are quite incapable of doing so due to being simply thick.. Chaos will no doubt ensue, and the Govt will be blamed for effectively asking people to behave like adults.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am honestly fearful that there is more danger for those in the high risk groups ( which includes me ) in this next new phase. I see it already as many people have dropped their concern about social distancing in the park where I walk every day. Runners decide to stop next to you, puffing and wheezing after a strenuous burst of exercise, hopefully they are not infected and carrying the virus. Some people do not think about their actions at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, There are different levels of High risk, there's High Risk without a letter, and Very High risk with a letter (Shielded). As far as clarity between the two, i.e what puts a person in one group but not the other, and which rules apply and which don't I haven't got a clue.

waytogo28 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 I am 72 very shortly and have three conditions said to add firther complications to a Covid 19 infection. Diabetes, high blood pressure and PMR. I am not in the Very High Risk group ( shielded ) but sadly very much in the High Risk category.

uk_martin Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 It's interesting and ironic that the self same people who have spent the last 10 years saying that austerity has cost lives, are the same ones who are now complaining that restarting the economy is going to cost lives. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I always thought it was ACU policy to take away the race licence of anybody convicted of riding off road illegally anyway. As usual with the ACU they completely miss the point that 99% of illegal riding is done by the low-lifes that steal the bikes from their members not guys who spend all their money racing legally. However they do like to make sure they feel important in any given situation. Can you tell I'm not a fan of the ACU? My opinion is undoubtedly biased.

Skidder1 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 I understand the Forestry Commission land issue and any Public space for that matter, But if its on Private land with the permission (if not to say encouragement) of the Land Owner, and not causing a nuisance to any neighbouring facilities, then how is that illegal?

martinmauger Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Local heroes were riding on a nearby field, a public park for several hours this morning. No point in calling plod, even if they attend the riders simply scatter down back alleys and into woods no chance of catching them....
