She took her family, twice, to their second home for weekends. She wasn’t delivering anything or ‘going to work’. <br /><br />I think Craig was right the first time.suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693686958796849316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-60643857009061750822020-04-10T14:38:40.134+01:002020-04-10T14:38:40.134+01:00You're both quite right about this.You're both quite right about this.

Isn't that why we have these restrictions in the first place?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-83233834720520087122020-04-10T13:55:52.547+01:002020-04-10T13:55:52.547+01:00Hmmm...I'm not sure this is gotcherism as oppo...Hmmm...I'm not sure this is gotcherism as opposed to journalism. It's the government who have placed the whole country under house arrest. So it is for them to be seen to be following both the letter and the spirit of the law. <br /><br />If you can do what he did - join his family at a second home - how does that differ from what the Scottish CMO did? The only difference would seem to be that he travelled separately. Please note ,Scottish CMOs! <br /><br />The whole point of the Government policy is to cut down on interactions. Travelling long distances means you have to fill up with petrol, it means you might have to stop at a service station and use the loo, it means you might break down and have to call an AA mechanic...<br /><br />Monkey Brainsnoreply@blogger.com
