The Retirement Thread

[Sterlo]

Oh goody, was planning a ride tomorrow, hardly seems worth it now.

The Government guidance says: "If you do leave home for a permitted reason, you should always stay local - unless it is necessary to go further, for example to go to work. Stay local means stay in the village, town, or part of the city where you live."

I can get from one end of our village to the other in about 30 seconds.

I class 'local' as being in the same postcode and would be prepared to argue the point, he challenged.
My postcode covers a large area of North Devon.

To be fair, we do actually get Scottish (, Welsh, NI, and International) news in England too you know!

Oh, and the caption on the screen says 'CORONAVIRUS in the UK' NOT 'CORONAVIRUS in England'...

Needless to say, the picture was the only Scottish content in the programme.

Just finished watching The Serpent. Seriously good.

I really would not worry about this. As it happens tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll be on a training loop which at the furthest point is about 2 miles from home.

ASAP next week my buddies and I will be out riding +/-50 miles. At most we'll be 15 miles from home. We've all respected the rules throughout 2020 and don't think we will be breaking them next week.

First half only?

Yes.

 

[classic33]

Yes.

North Devon has a few postal code areas.

Go down to the lower numbers, and the areas aren't so large.

I have decided I am having porridge with honey and blueberries for breakfast in the morning. Goodnight all.

I 've planned a route that is no more than 10 from home in any direction, I can't see that being an issue!

Sounds perfectly reasonable.

Well, in that case shouldn't it be "my buddy and I", since we are limited to meeting ONE person outdoors for exercise!
