    It's alright for you living in the north of England,pretty simple as explained by BT.However,if you live in Wales we are instructed by the Welsh Assembly (sorry Parliament for Wales aka Senedd Cymru).We will be receiving detailed instructions in two languages,of course.Personally I prefer the Welsh,it makes as much sense to me as the English version.If you have to cross the border for work do you follow the Welsh version or the English,you probably won't be using public transport as your bus pass won't get you anywhere in England.

    Round of golf after work at your Club in England? Are you allowed to travel on your own in the car to get there?.Depends on which side of the border you are when the Police stop you.Will be Bar be open in the Club? What is the problem if we keep 2 metres apart.Will I be able to buy some tees and balls in the Club shop?

    What does "Alert" mean.Apparently the Welsh translation is "Stay home".

    Your wife is a nurse in ICU which means that the children can go to school,but you have to pick them up now that their grandparents aren't allowed to do so.However your boss in Bristol says you have to report for work tomorrow.

    Thank God I'm retired.Surely it isn't too difficult to all sing from the same hymn sheet AND be clear on the detail.

    "If today's "guidance" had been announced by a Labour or Lib Dem bod then our friend from the Ribble Valley would be apoplectic with rage. and I would agree with him."

    More dodgy clairvoyance 59, you really should never try a stage career, none of your attempts have been even close yet. If a Labour or LibDem had made today's announcement my reaction would have been the same, indifference tinged with disappointment that the easing of the lockdown hadn't gone much further.

    One aspect of it has surprised me, do you Lefties really find it hard to understand, or are you pretending ? I'm not sure, sometimes I joke about the effects of BDS, and then sometimes I suspect it's all too real and frazzles Lefty brains even more than I suspected. One thing is clear though, you certainly need a Nanny to hold onto don't you ? Go out on your own, use your common sense, stay alert, whoa that's a big step too far for the infants.

    Your last sentence says it all sinkov. Social media is like bloody Mastermind with everyones' specialist subject being Covoid-19!
    With all this knowledge around the virus shoud never have got into the country!
    Problem is, as you say, the use of common sense is just an impossibility for a great many of the population who are unable to think for themselves --or so it would appear.

    I hope that you are going on your bike. Just over 22 miles and not too hilly so a couple of hours each way will see you there nicely.
    Enjoy! I can't even do my SSAFA work at the moment because I am over 70 and vulnerable according to our leaders. Just have to go to the woods again or give the bike another outing!

    Aye Barrie. I must say that Ms Sturgeon, Mark Drakeford and even Arlene Foster are knocking spots off Boris for leadership.

    We now, in effect, have borders between England and Wales, England and Scotland and England and Northern Ireland. Good luck to the businesses and schools that operate close to these borders and have a workforce or pupils from both sides, or the police etc who must be pulling their hair out wondering how they can enforce things.

    And, as I have always thought, some Tories are revolting.
