Talking of brum brums, I haven't started mine up for a couple of weeks again. Should take it a short run, especially now it's getting colder. Don't want another flat battery.My Brum Brum is going to the garage on 6th October.

Does this not contradict or am I being thick?

Bonjour mes braves. Raining all night here and going to my son's later to do a little job. Glad I had a ride yesterday as it won't happen today: too wet.
Regarding Covid, the government should have taken very stiff measures LAST MARCH and if so, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now. They are still pussing about now with no real sense of direction so nothing will change and it will remain like that well into next year I predict.
Have a good day every one and stay safe.

Right.......talking of inlaws.
How do you get on with your Son in Law/Daughter in Law and other in laws?
Aged about 20 our daughter started 'courting' with a guy that we just could not take to.
Nice enough. Pleasant. Good family with (apparently) a few bob. But just too sickly.
And then he started to call us mum & dad
.
We invited his parents for a meal and (bear in mind) this was after 2 months) they told us "when they get engaged we will buy them xyz"......I nearly fell off the chair. Daughters gob fell open.
Fortunately it didn't last.
Then......
30 years ago she met this guy.
1st time we met he had cycled 20 miles to our house. When he came in he said "ok if I put the kettle on".
End of the afternoon I said to MrsD "I think we have met our future Son in Law.
He has been more like a son to us and we love him**
**apart from the fact he is a ManU supporter.
But no one is perfect

Get on well with all 3 of our DIL's, all different and all great, eldest is a multi times national cycling champion and is still way to fast for me to ride with. In fact the last national points cross race I did 15 years+ ago she lapped me, which was not a nice thing to do and i may forgive her one day.
I have been known to partake occasionally......@Dirk did I read your post correctly.....that you enjoy going to pubs ???
Blimey, next you will be trying to convince us all that you enjoy fish n chips

So I've had another delve in to what I can and cannot do. I cannot have my sons in my house or garden and we cannot visit them. Got that, no problem. We can meet in a pub etc. and we can meet as friends and family under the Rule of Six but it seems this should not be in our house or garden. Ok I can deal with this one though I do wonder if my allotment is garden?? Anyway I digress. I am allowed to meetup to six friends under the Rule of Six.
There is nothing else in the Guidelines, laws or whatever which effects us as these are things we do not do - work, public transport etc. I understand about pubs, cafes etc.
Last night's discussion was about sport and physical activity and sports. Mrs P has a friend who is somewhat "relaxed" about all of this, they play tennis and bowls together. Friend has argued they can play bowls together under the Rule of Six. Mrs P says they cannot as the bowls is not organised by a club as defined under Team Sports. Friend asks what about tennis. Mrs P says they can play tennis together because they belong to the same club. Now this is where it gets very tricky. Mrs P is quoting the rules which have been issued under Team Sport and Physical Activity.
Those rules state:
You can continue to take part in organised sporting or licensed physical activity in groups of more than 6. This can be in any public place – indoors or outdoors – but not in a private outdoor space like a garden or inside a private home. These activities either need to be organised by a national governing body, club, registered instructor/coach, business or charity, and/or involve someone who has received an official licence to use equipment relevant to the activity. In all cases, the organiser must conduct a risk assessment and ensure compliance with COVID-19 secure guidance.
So Mrs P is of the opinion because they belong to the same tennis club they can play together under the above. The reality is all that happens is four people play together, there is no organiser, there is no risk assessment, there is no team, blah, blah, blah. However they don't belong to a bowling club so can't play together!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I questioned if tennis is a team sport. Mrs P says it is as she and a partner consitute a team in doubles. I said "What about singles?"
Mrs P is of the opinion I should not cycle with anyone. I'm working on the Rule of Six............I've decided not to go down the route of "if my buddies and I work together to get somewhere and I lead out for the cafe we consitute a cycle team and we belong to the same club!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Overall I'm of the "feck it I'll get on with life" school of thought.

Looking at the new regulations you are correct. The regs seem to be like a colander and full of holes.
This is what comes of trying to cooperate with Westminster.
