2 metres rule

Not sure everyone in W4 gets it... a couple of very average and very ignorant guys decided to dribble a football along the streets of Chiswick earlier... weaving in and out of people...  zero awareness of social distancing...  must do better

What is "very average" Emma

I'm not sure the police get it. A PC and a WPC came to take a statement from me today. I let them into the hall, but the PC asked if they could sit down to take the statement. So I reluctantly took them into the sitting room, and made sure I sat more than 2metres away from each of them. At the end of the statement, which the PC typed on a tablet, he passed me the tablet to sign it. The stylus didn't work, so he leaned over me to fiddle with it and I felt his breath on my face. So much for social distancing. I would have expected the police to have coronavirus protocols re taking statements in people's houses.

Took the dogs out earlier.  One idiot went on just about every exercise machine in Southfield Playing Fields even though they were taped off and had a big notice on them.  In just 20 mins also saw a very loud family - man, woman and child - clapping and shrieking as woman and child did several jumps with their shoes on onto the benches and off in the park.

You should have told them to back off. Although a tad difficult I accept...

OMG - they should get locked up, sorry.

6ft apart or 6ft under, just remind them, blunt but that's what they need for it to get through to them.

Couldn't we all start drawing 2m width lines on the pavement?Especially along the river paths.Failing that take an umbrella out with you ....and poke them

Perhaps it would help to have some social rulesFor instance, rather than walking haphazardly along, it might be easier if we all kept to the left.

"rather than walking haphazardly along, it might be easier if we all kept to the left."They do that in Germany, except that it's keeping right there.  I was walking along a shopping street in Cologne a couple of years ago looking in the shop windows to my left, and couldn't understand why everyone coming towards me was getting in the way. Then I realised that I was in the way, walking on the left.

Some runners are just unable to judge two metres. I reminded one that he needed to maintain a two metre distance. He gave me the finger. Whereas there was one very careful female runner in Gunnersbury Park who took particular care to avoid people who were walking.
