crusian Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 On my local tv it said you can still go down your allotments ( good for your mental health and getting exercise ) , so why can't I go fishing ? , especially as I can drive straight to the lake without any social contact . Pushing a loaded barrow around the lake is my exercise , and I don't want to interact with anyone , just the wildlife - I'm antisocial , go away I'm fishing ! . 🤔 finchey, commonly and B B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No water would actually need to close if people listened to the essential travel bit. I'd agree, but to some people their 'exercise fix' is cycling round the the reservoir. That is where they always go to walk their dog, or run... To them it is essential. No essential travel, so a golfer buggies his clubs up from Woodbridge or Melton to Ufford...

Not sure what your point is , If these few are driving to somewhere to exercise , walk etc then it is non essential and may well get a fine and will lead to us all having tighter restrictions . You have to adhere to the governments 'essential' travel not your own made up rubbish . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to adhere to the governments 'essential' travel not your own made up rubbish . @oscsha Thing is though Mate, try explaining to people what essential is. What is essential to them is different to you or me. To some Sky Sports is an essential, yet to me its not. In fact Sky full stop is not. (Other brands available) Essential shopping, any biscuits to me are a luxury, not essentials, yet to some they are an essential. Is coffee an essential? Not really, I could drink water, but my shopping always includes coffee. To some people the only way they keep fit is playing golf, they don't jog, or cycle, their daily walk is a round of golf, however many miles it is around 18 holes. It is their essential. You can't change somebody's perception on what is essential. You can explain blue in the face I don't need coffee, I would argue otherwise. Even the government can't explain essential if to somebody what they are doing is essential to them. Essential to keep your fitness, so people go where they have been keeping fit. To them that means driving to the park where they go on their 8mile mountain bike trail, or driving to the park where they try to beat last weeks time round the track. Walking their dog, yes, they can walk their dog around the pavements on the street, yet to some it is essential they go somewhere with a big open space, drive to the park. It is essential I walk my dog, for at least 6/7miles a day, AND she has to go out round the block for a wee as I live in a flat with no garden. I'm lucky, going round all 3 of the local parks I can just make 6 miles, but I have to be out for at least an hour with another walk to come later, yet strictly speaking I am going against government essential time of 1hours exercise. oscsha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoputney Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 I think fishing isn't essential yes we enjoy it, mentally it is nice to get away from it all, but it wont kill us not to go for 3 weeks while we have a shut down, I think people need to stop trying to twist the rules to suit whatever they want to hear, get a grip and stop travelling about spreading the virus needlessly to continue doing what they love to do, people love to exercise and it does make you feel good but all gyms are closed so people should just make do with a walk or run to the local park or do some stuff in the garden or living room, plenty you can do whilst at home, too many people being far too selfish and ignoring the rules, the quicker everyone accepts this is a problem and we need to address it by limiting Contact we will be a lot better off, oscsha and emmcee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpbell_ll Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 See the ques for making a universal credit claim are in the tens of thousands if twitter is to be believed, if anyone is truly without any income you can fill in whats called a zero income form at your local council and it will cover council tax, help with rent and maybe mortgage plus money for basics like food and electric and gas. they have to help by law if you have less than 16.000 grand in savings. elmoputney, crusian and oscsha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't like my answer if I give you some figures from some research. Coronavirus is only going to contribute to 1,400 deaths in this country 'more than usual', that is those who have just Coronavirus. The massive majority of deaths are down to underlying health conditions, not just Covid-19. Those who have had 'no underlying health conditions', nothing about the chest infection that they had 2months ago, and still has not totally cleared, nothing about the 10 cigarettes they smoke every day, or the croup they suffered as a child that damaged their lungs, or the fact that the majority are elderly who would have died from their body being old. Lockdown in many cases, is contributing to some contracting the virus, and even being unable to get medical treatment or care. oscsha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
