I see you got a really moronic response about women ‘hovering’ above the toilet like some celestial being?
Not like the virus could be on the handle to get in, could be cubicle handle or still in the air from the last user or on the taps she touches.
I knew the lockdown maniacs would look for a stupid reason why it’s safer in the park when the reality is that it’s safer in the garden if you are a responsible and careful adult.

I was just reading every post in the thread to see if the complete absurdity of that reply had been pulled up before I was about to post almost the exact same reply as you have Squirty.

The be all and end all of every single restriction these dictators have come up with is,if you're a sensible grown up you don't need to listen to any of it just take precautions and get on with life

I found that particular reasoning hysterical, though to be expected.
I get frustrated when faced with a rule that doesn’t seem to biased on common sense or reasoning.
My grandson is a week old today. Thanks to the new inquisition I’ve still not seen him. Of course I could go and meet him in a park, but his gran can’t go with me. Of course I’m sure there are no health issues associated with taking a new born to a park in the freezing rain we have this morning?
Some of rules are just stupid.

Yet people are going to illegal raves and the police taking 24 hours to move them on, without arrest!

Sorry, but cannot agree at all with your last para as what you are suggesting is the public decide what is and isn't lawful.

I see your argument, but your suggestion is not the right way fwd
 
I have no evidence of this and it’s my own opinion.
But I think it’s the reaction the Government received during the first lockdown from people without gardens complaining about the ‘privileged’ few who can meet family in them.
We generally equalise things by curtailing what some have rather than improving what others don’t have.
My suspicion is that once people go round a friends house to sit in the garden, the odds of them ending up inside the house go up by a lot. Not with everyone, probably not even with many people, but with a significant amount. Like if it starts chucking it down or something, the jump to "oh well your here anyway and it's only you" isn't very big.

This is from personal experience tbh as my parents continuously let my sisters come round to the garden in first lockdown and they ended up inside on more than one occasion, even staying the night on one (much to my annoyance when I found out).

So it would be safer to use the toilets in the park then?
I haven’t got a clue. I replied to someone asking about the rationale behind the governments rules. When this has been asked before, the answer from the government has always been that if in the garden, it’s tempting to go in the house.I didn’t say I agreed with it.

My particular favourite part of the post was the new information I learned about the ability to contract a respiratory illness through ones arse cheeks.

Many of the rules are stupid yet seem to have been accepted ad finitum.

The idiots attending these raves are exactly that, idiots
