AndrewBClarke Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Obviously I’ve been really busy... In the Westy obviously. Not totally mad 😜 2 Quote
Jude - The Mad Widow Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I have been in social isolation for a week now.... tomorrow its supposed to be dry and I will be enjoying my own company inside my Westy - I cant wait! Do you think they will stop us going out for a blat? 6 Quote
corsechris Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 I’d have to become way more gregarious than I’m comfortable with to comply with self isolation! 2 1 Quote

AndrewBClarke Posted March 16, 2020 Author Posted March 16, 2020 Today has been work this morning in my workshop by myself. Big commute - 10 ft. Lunch watching telly. Then out for 125miles and half a tank of petrol. Mmmm. Had to be a long drive to avoid gardening. Productivity goes down in the good weather. 😀. Keep blatting! 3 1 Quote

AndrewBClarke Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 Confused. The ban on non essential travel presumably includes popping out in a open top sportscar. WHO guidelines for social distancing under ‘safe to do’ is take a fun drive. Surely this includes Westfielding and is in direct conflict with the UK government statement. Don’t want to do the wrong thing either for my safety or others. Also don’t want to be a social outcast for flouting the rules. Thoughts? Quote
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Given you live in a part of the UK where people still regularly point, when the see a horse less carriage, I'd carry on regardless. Using the above guidance, you are under the amber - do with caution. Travelling in private transport. Hence drive, smile, have fun and take care when fueling, eating etc.😃 2 Quote
Exitus Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 When they say travelling, they mean long distance, from one place to another. They don't want people travelling the length of the UK and potentially spreading the virus around. They also don't want people packed together on public transport or in motorway services. Driving in a fairly small circle around your town is ok, as you're not going to transmit the virus around the country. Going out for a drive in the Westfield should be completely fine. 3 Quote

Alan France Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 Came to Lincs Sun/Mon to see mother. At 106 she is now in lockdown, so felt it was a reasonable journey to make. Just kept away from others as best we could. Limit your Westfield passengers and you should be fine. Quote
