Well lets hope people appreciate that and don’t abuse it.

Only to buy food as other shops have been ordered not to open so we must look at it as a lockdown as he also said it will be reviewed in 3 weeks time. I only wished he had made it official. Personally, I am very much in favour of a complete lockdown.

A lockdown is when we don't go out for any reason. The clue is in the name.
We can't have a complete lockdown because 2/3 of the nation would starve to death in short order.

The news call it lockdown when refering to other countries, although they can go out for food shopping or essential work, so what do you want to call it then?

Looks like I'll have to dust off the turbo trainer.
You can still take one form of exercise a day.
I will walk down to the village and back - 2 miles return - to pick up a newspaper (essential supplies) and then go for a ride (one form of exercise).

There's a short circular ride I can do, its about 16 miles, but it would be good if they defined what they mean by exercise, can I get a 50 miler in or is that a no no now, it would be nice to know for certain. At the moment I'm thinking a 16 mile ride first thing, breakfast then an hour on the turbo.
If you need a 50 miler to feel like you've had enough exercise, then I don't see how anyone could reasonably object, particularly as that seems to be your normal exercise routine.
Roll it in with picking up a pint of milk or a loaf of bread towards the end of the ride, then you can argue that you were doing essential supplies shopping.

I think I’m going to feel guilty going out, but would go stir crazy if I don’t.If you need a 50 miler to feel like you've had enough exercise, then I don't see how anyone could reasonably object, particularly as that seems to be your normal exercise routine.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
At least we can still use cycling as our form of exercise. I can also take a walk around the my property as well.
