• Went for a short walk along the riverside a few minutes ago when I absolutely couldn't stand to stay in anymore - yeah it's a bit full out there. My issue is not really with everyone wanting to get some sun and fresh air (and let's face it, the air out there is probably fresher than anyone has had it in the last two hundred years or so), but with some knobs making absolutely no effort to do the whole 'distancing' thing. Ironically not so much all those evil cyclists and bad joggers, but just some normal people going for a walk with their dog.

    I also saw a number of old people sitting in cars - clearly they had driven in just to sit in their car by the riverside. I kind of get the idea, but I'm not sure they're helping much either.

    Isn't this quite effective if you're old and self-isolating? Better than chancing it with the dog walkers etc.

  • Yeah probably but they don't make the whole 'social distancing' thing any easier when you walk past a parked car and you look down and instead of a closed window like with all the other parked cars you see the face of some geezer reading a newspaper a foot away from you.
