Don't ride in groups or we will be stopped cycling completely.

It's hardly the same thing though is it?

As what?

As the 3 guys on MTB that fossyant was talking about, that I replied to, which you commented on...……...…………..do keep up

Again why isn't it, I'm clearly being dim or you're not explaining yourself correctly

Really? Go back and read his post, my response to it, then your response. There is a massive difference between 3 guys on MTB's, who could have been housemates, than the 12 -15 teenagers you decided was an appropriate comparison!!

Either way I'm calling them out. If I get it wrong and they're housemates or whatever then fair enough, I got it wrong. But every pair of cyclists I've called out who I've subsequently found on Strava were not housemates. So I'm gonna keep calling folk out that are not solo riding and aren't male/female or an obvious family group, it's too important an issue to say nothing

Are there no same sex couples around Glossop?

You do that if it makes you feel better, I will reserve my judgements until I know otherwise (have facts etc), and try and think the best of people until they prove me wrong.

Well it's already been pointed out that the middle class are having it easier😀

Our local Co-op is well-stocked, no queuing. Same with the Spar. Just a five minute walk so we're not bothering with the supermarkets. You soon get used to not having the choice of 25 different makes of mushy peas.

2 same sex couples in my street alone. I doubt they would appreciate someone querying if they should be out together.

I went to Tescos today . Trying to only shop every 10 or 12 days. Similar experience shop well organized cue system outside cleanser for you r trolley then a one way system round the aisles.

I politely asked 5 different people to go the correct way around the aisles.

One 25 to 30 year old man spent 5 minutes gobbing off and swearing but eventually turned round when I didn't back off (probably I should have ) 3 others just ignored me and carried on the wrong way one person finally apologised and turned round . I gave up then and just got it done as quick as possible. I really feel sorry for the staff who are trying when customers are so vile and stupid.
One pleasant lady restored my faith in human nature by asking if I was ok after the gobby aggressive one.

I understand people are stressed and not at their best but why why make shopping less safe than it could be?

Same with my Tesco. The arrows are clearly marked to direction of travel and whilst queuing outside we were politely told of the one way system in store, but........ There were a few going the wrong way, all ages and no I did`nt say anything I just wanted to do my shopping and out asap. It is hard for some people to adopt a new way to shop. The only good thing is that there is more room and no home delivery crews blocking the aisles. So I don`t know when they do that now at our Tesco.

Paris bans public daytime exercise.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-52202700

Strikes me as madness.

So they would rather you exercised during hours of darkness?

Cycled round central london the other day in full open view of police - maintaining more social distance than i could probably manage in the average village.

Much prefer the British approach - and I really believe we can rely on the vast vast majority of folks.

the reasoning was explained clearly on the news as that link. It’s jogging more rather than cycling.
its not dark at 10am nor 7pm in France now.
to stop joggers coming into contact with people working or going to work or going to shops, ie things that need to be done during the working day, jogging doesn’t have to

I'd guess theres less people tempted to be out on the streets after 10 pm though.Maybe it's better than nothing if you need your exercise fix ?

It’s 7pm, you can go out before 10 and after 7 (when it’s plenty light)

well i was clearly being slightly loose on the daylight thing.
But I still think it madness.
It sounds like a weird reverse curfew.
Giving the OK for nighttime exertions.

And I do worry what it says about the authorities' views of their citizens.

Many many folk in paris of course live in flats.

If there is some issue with folk being in fresh air at over 2 metres apart then authorities need to level with us.

and treat us like adults.

Again, I think the brits have it right, for all sorts of reasons.
