But from now on we're going inside. The wife - an ardent pro-Lockdown person if ever there was one - was invited to her pal's house for a coffee last week. I was surprised, but she went, and went inside. Thinking about it, I've seen my neighbours all have visitors, and my parents neighbours as well. Not sure if anyone is actually sticking to these rules any more. Whilst I think a large chunk of the population are breaking them sporadically, there's no way that gatherings in gardens on a sunny day are as busy or as numerous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial fine for first offence is £60 (£30 in reality) so unsure where you are getting these figures from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go from what the police supposedly told the remnants of one of those groups I mentioned, I've actually no idea what the levels are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked - 200 reduced to 100 if paid within 14 days. Different in Scotland and England maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the groups are having you on then, as it’s £60 first offence, £120 second offence. Would take a lot of offences to get even over a grand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only go by what they said, the other group obviously had decent chaps as they were basically asked to go home and watch what they were doing in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Edinburgh International Festival announces it will go ahead this year using outdoor pavilions. Apparently one will be located at Edinburgh Park which sounds a bit weird. Edited April 13, 2021 by RiG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have some faith in Magic Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Doesn't sound like it will be anything major regards to loosening restrictions with regards to the economy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 I’ve just read her tweet and actually not expecting much now tbh. Essentially just said she’s going to confirm we are on track for April 26th. Mentioned potential easing for mental health support, so maybe being allowed to do contact outdoor sports or something like that is best we can hope for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
