Have you broken the rules?

[-james-]

Regarding social distancing etc. A small survey.

[Mellberg]

I have never broken any rules.

[Spikey M]

I refuse to believe there's a single person that has never broken them.

[Disco]

Not sure, I may have broken the travel rules last Thursday and was even stopped by the police but they were fine with my reasoning so I reckon I'm in the clear.

[Lewis]

In the initial phase no, and I was well on top of it, but since then yes. I was mainly been an accessory to it at first, like when my mother was here (allowed) and then extra people coming round the house (not allowed), which was a bit annoying, but nobody cares now.

[Manc]

Nope. Haven't seen my family since March due to participating in a separate support bubble.

[Giggles]

Maybe once or twice by by passing someone too closely in the office by accident. Outside that I follow them to the letter.

[Jimmy Floyd]

During the summer I probably did (weren't we all supposed to be social distancing all the way through? I shook about 3 hands, and it felt weird each time).

During restriction periods either side, no. I didn't see the folks until support bubbles were invented about 12 weeks deep.

[Shindig]

First time around I was golden. This time around social distancing is only as good as the people around me. Enforcement made for a good group effort. Now it's back to the Wild West.

[Giggles]

Today in work was actually the first day that I’ve ever felt the weird tension of a no handshake.

[phonics]

I went to a funeral on day 12 of my 14 day quarantine in the UK. Rock and Roll.

[Baz]

I've never been really sure of the rules since it started, so probably. Not on purpose though, I'm not that thick.

[Magic]

:eyemouth:

[Giggles]

:eyemouth:

You’re not human though.

[Kikó]

First time yep, second time no.

[Ian]

I live alone so I'm allowed an extended household or whatever they call it. My parents and my sister's family are all within a five minute walk of me when I've been to both when I strictly speaking shouldn't have. I've done the distancing but I've been to both my parents (who never go anywhere) and to my sister's to help keep all of us a little sane.

That's it though, everything else (masks, not being allowed to travel outside my area just now, etc.) I've stuck to I think.

[Raoul Duke]

Probably a bunch of minor transgressions but mostly kept to it. Still got the fucking thing. Oh well, I'm immortal now :sorry:

[Offshore Toon]

If I'm being honest, it's probably the bottom one. I stayed out way longer than two/four/however many hours, broke the household rules, been in large groups quite a lot of times etc.

I'd say I was still fairly cautious at first, like breaking the time limit to cycle alone, but as things relaxed I'd always go that bit further to bend the rules, then everything seemed fine (around 10 cases) here in the summer there was no reason to not do whatever.

[Don]

Broke both within the first 24 hours. Consistency is key.

[mo]

Working in a school makes it inevitable :sorry:

[mugbull]

We aint got no rules here so i haven’t broken any

[Lofty]

Probably more inadvertently as the rules have become more incoherent. But I work from home and as an only child am happy enough to be left alone so the only risk I encounter on the daily is the wife.

[Spammer]

As I was reading this thread my missus mate has knocked on the door downstairs and she's been invited into the living room by the sounds of it, so yeah.

[Spikey M]

Nope. Haven't seen my family since March due to participating in a separate support bubble.

How old are you?

Pics?

[Adamski]

Why are people not seeing their families since March? We’ve been able to see people outside since what, May?

There are alot of people that have been scared shitless by this. One of our Tenants at work was telling me in September that she won't be seeing anyone until here are 0 cases. She is vulnerable, so it's partially understandable, but there's enough viruses going around that could finish her off at the best of times. She's not refusing to leave the house until Rabies has been eliminated from the world. I guess this just got too close to home for some.

[Shindig]

I saw mine back in June/July. I'll be over before Christmas, though. I can't not see them before the year's out.
