Whatever he came up with was going to be a loser. At the end of the day he cautiously told us how they intend to proceed with bringing lockdown to an end. Nothing over dramatic, and no doubt msm and the usual planks will whinge, but I wasn't expecting much given the state of things at the moment. Pretty good speech really, no bullshit or false promises, just a government doing what they sincerely hope will be right for the situation. Agreed. It's not an easy position for a leader to be in. It wasn't his fault it happened. Ok so it all went a bit wrong on his watch but the government has been guided by the scientists all along so if anyone should be burnt at the stake it's them isn't it. People can moan about it but we have what we have. It was never going to be a just go out and get on with it situation. Life has changed and it won't go back to normal very soon. Don't go being sensible ffs, it throws me.

He did - go to work on your bike. Norman Tebbit with that simple phrase kick started mass commuting and consequent house price inflation. Glad to see you saw what i did there ...

"you can play sports but only with members of your own household" Would I be breaking the law if I played with myself/ on my own?

Is boating a sport?
Obviously some boat related activities such as canoeing are actually Olympic sports but just wondering if sporting inland motor boating exists?
Canal boats, river boats that sort of thing. With a sporting element to the whole thing maybe wearing shorts and some sort of hard-wearing shirt.
A bit like Rugby. Totally pointless but some people enjoy it.
I personally think boating comes under health reasons as in keeping the old black dog at bay but if there is also a sporting element it adds another good excuse.
I don't really understand why the official announcements have not included a "Strictly no enjoying yourself" warning.
