I respect your opinion but I dont agree with it at all.
You have to remember that a lot of people haven't got gardens or big houses like the privileged. I live in a small flat and I'd go stir crazy if I didn't run.
I think the majority of people are respecting the rules but their will always be the idiots flaunting it.

So long as when you run you give people space. My own observation has been that runners and cyclists are getting closer to me than pedestrians whereas they should be twice as far away, again imo. Both runners and cyclists have the ability to slow down and wait their turn if a little bottleneck occurs but they don't seem to realise this or give a fuck.
Not in any way having a go at you Matt but people in general are not being that sensible.
Maybe some people could adjust their exercise regime accordingly and for the betterment of everyone.

This post is just bizzare, it’s fucking dead out there, you live just outside cheadle hulme in scuttervil, don’t what shops you go to but if it’s gigis or yummys then I hold my hands up, but cheadle hulme no queues and pimllots the butchers one in one out. No planes no trains no cars, made up that you’ve seen loads, but scuttervil maybe so.

I agree, I'm in cheadle hulme, out for a walk every day/other day, see a few people about but not many, more cars this last day or two but not busy by any stretch of the imagination. Co-op on turves road has a staff member outside limiting numbers in the shop, sainsburys doing the same.

Oh and where the fook is Scuttervil :)

I was traveling around in Swaziland in the late 90s in Mbabane speaking to an NGO medical officer as they were there trying to help suppress the HIV epidemic. They were trying to use broomsticks as illustrations of how to put on a condom safely. He said many of them actually continued to have sex but put a condom on top of their broom stick in the same room thinking that’s what he meant (they are very superstitious and got the wrong end of the tutorial). Remember him saying that they were treated with great suspicion.

Least they had a handle on it and didn’t sweep it under the carpet

I like walking my dogs every evening, a full lockdown isn't the right thing nor is it necessary as it hasn't worked in Spain or Italy at a sufficient rate to go into it now.

Bearing in mind the UK posted a fatality figure larger than any experienced by Spain I'd suggest the stringent measures in Spain are working ok.

People can walk their dogs here. And without the hassle of cyclists, runners, cars etc

It isn't dead out there mate,far more traffic on the roads this week.
I work in Trafford park,I drive to work.
I go parallel to the new tram line to the trafford centre...only opened on mothers day,I think.
Since the lockdown announcement,I looked at the trams as I passed,last week,maybe 2-3 people on them......this week.....well over 20.
That's not a dig by the way.

Well no because everyone turned up at the beauty spots the other day because they all thought the same thing,bottom line is people are not supposed to be moving about,take a walk round the block a few times and leave the car alone

As I say depends where you live, my town has a popular walking route, everyone calls the bridges, we do the bridges and there are a few on it during the week we all give each other a wide berth probably more than 2 metres. On Sunday nice weather we knew it would be busier so we drove over the bridge it was busier though still more than 2 metres between people to be fair. Drove 5 minutes to the village down the road did a 4 mile walk saw about 2 or 3 other couples , drove 5 minutes home .
Not the same as driving an hour to the coast or the nearest national park or well known beauty spot for a walk.

That depends if you're happy to revert to the capitalism that has tanked us or adapt to a socialist capitalism, that bears in mind wealth has to be spread around more evenly, in the future.

No, the OP said we would all starve: left or right all the same when hungry.

To those wanting totalitarian restrictions, what’s wrong with going to your allotment for a few hours? Or a solo walk in a quiet spot or a bike ride? Why clamp down on healthy activities instead of punishing those who are clearly flouting both rules and spirit?

I would imagine that more draconian measures are possibly required due to lack of resource to police a soft lockdown. The few idiots spoil it for everyone else. I do agree with the sentiment of your post but it sems that many people are unable or unwilling to grasp the notion that it applies to them.
