See the non cohabiting couple exemption, does that only apply to those who live on their own ?

No, anyone who lives alone can form an extended household. Doesn’t necessarily need to be with their partner.

Separate to this, all non-cohabiting couples can see each other and form an extended household.

I didn't have a drink between March and August actually but most people would be able to envisage the huge societal resistance and hostility an alcohol ban would cause.

It's not just the alcoholics on the street that a lot of people don't care about. It's the workers who need to have a bottle of wine every night to wind down and the mummies who need their drinky-poos once the kids are in bed.

Illegal warehouses selling and serving booze would only increase the chance of the virus spreading.

Would you want the schools open to full capacity at the same time as the alcohol ban?

Need is a dangerous word - that suggests an addiction and should result in folk seeking help before one bottle becomes 2

Away from the common herd, it's just been announced that the Parliamentary Estate now jins the rest of us in the Ten pm Shutdown - after the press (Times, I think) got a hold of it.

Who the fúck in Government thought they'd get way with that? Or are they really that arrogant?

Also, after a few queries of "where's the Education Secretary in the middle of this University Omnishambles?", we are to be treated to an address by the Fireplace Salesman extraordinaire this afternoon. Is this where Johnson Cummings starts to repay all the Barnard Castle loyalty with throwing the minions to the lions?

It’s not limited to those groups. Non-cohabiting couples are allowed to form an extended household even if they live with others (e.g. their parents, flatmates etc)

That's was the case, its no longer the case.

 

An extended household is one where two households have joined together to form a single household. An extended household can be formed by a person who lives alone - or only with children under 18. They and another household of any size can agree to form an extended household. An extended household can also be formed by a couple who do not live together, and their children.

We let them get away with that and subsidise it!

This website quite clearly states that non-cohabiting couples can form extended households

It follows the section for people living alone and isn't explicit about if either party lives with other adults. I think it takes a generous view to say that couples who live with other adults can meet up without physical distancing - I think it makes sense for couples living apart should be staying apart for now especially as the cases are rising.

My understanding is that if you live alone you could see your bird and your parents separately.

Sturgeon explicitly said in her briefing last week that non-cohabiting couples continue to be exempt from the “no indoor gatherings” rule

 

If that wasn’t the case, the non-cohabiting couples rule would be redundant as the previous guidance applies to ALL adults who live alone/with only children. There’s a reason why there’s a separate section for couples, and that reason is that they’re exempt even if they live with other adults.

Yes it should.

How many people are seeking "help" for issues with alcohol, particularly during a pandemic?

What help is available for the millions of people in this country who, to some extent, rely on alcohol if they all suddenly seek help at the same time?

They'll all wake up and realise alcohol is bad and thank WhiteRoseKillie for his P6-level solutions once they've sobered up.

Dear Lord.
