Complete overreaction if so then. Absolutely no reason I shouldn’t be able to meet up with a one or two friends if we follow hands, face, space etc

Funny you should say that. I went for a swim before work this morning and they seemed a bit more stressed than usual. The lad was telling everyone they must shower before getting in the pool and said the council had people out checking premises.

From a selfish point of view, I’d be gutted if the gyms close mate. I get the bigger picture though

Would my Parent's be classed as my support bubble? I rely on them to take my youngest daughter to school and collect her. She usually stays for her tea too because she reckons me Mams chicken dinners are the best.
 
Expect pubs and restaurants to get a little bit busier in other places.

Know a few people from Bolton and they’ve just been getting buses to other places to go drinking instead
 
Misread this. You're saying local to Sunderland rather than CoS?

The info came from someone who works in a decent position at ST Cooncil, as far as she was told its all the local councils combined who will go into lockdown, she couldn’t say when exactly it is to happen but with the next 36 hours.
No reason at all to disbelieve her but will see what happens.
I don’t really want be get a name for being corona lockdown itk
