Talk of not keeping it simple - latest police guidelines 19:06 - Apr 16 with 775 views | tractorboy1978 | On exercise, the guidance lists driving to the countryside for a walk as "reasonable" if "far more time" is spent walking than driving. But it adds that driving for a "prolonged period with only brief exercise" is not reasonable. That would appear to indicate that someone who drove for an hour to a beauty spot for a walk would not be contravening the rules. Under the guidance, police are advised not to intervene if people stop to rest or eat lunch while on a long walk, but short walks to sit on a park bench are not allowed. It also says people are not allowed to buy paint and brushes "simply to redecorate a kitchen" but can purchase tools and supplies to repair a fence "damaged in recent bad weather". |  | | |  |

Talk of not keeping it simple - latest police guidelines on 19:26 - Apr 16 with 711 views | Nthsuffolkblue | Am I allowed to buy paint to redecorate from a store that also sells groceries if I am buying groceries at the same time? If not, the stores should stop selling the items. I think the thing is, we need to all apply a certain amount of common sense and not have any more contact with people than is necessary. EDIT: for our own protection as much as for everyone else's. [Post edited 16 Apr 2020 19:27]

No, I think arbitrary rules are stupid. This is going to go on for years, we've got to just have a bit of common sense. |  | |  |
