Your first above point about us still welcoming people from USA is a total fabrication and probably intentionally misleading to try and win a point.Yeah restriction would change. However there are countries on the welcome in list that have a higher rate than Spain. We're still welcoming in people from the US ffs. The government have messed up on this from the get go.
You can only blame people when they're going against the government advice. If the R rate is rising but people are following the government advice that's not on the people. And they will try to make it out like it is. Just like Shoot is and just like Berba is. Let's not fall in to the trap of blaming people for the Governments ineptitude in the coming months.
It was always going to happen that eventually the government would put it on the people and their voters would follow though. Because eventually you'll lay the blame at the people for the excess deaths instead of a shit parliament that you voted for.
So last night with less than 3 hours notice the people of greater Manchester and some surrounding areas were told they can no longer meet with other households inside or in private gardens.
You can still go to work and go to the pub.
Yeah my sister came up from essex to visit yesterday. Looks like she will have to turn round and go home without seeing us.
on well, that won’t have any effect on us United supporters so why worry.So last night with less than 3 hours notice the people of greater Manchester and some surrounding areas were told they can no longer meet with other households inside or in private gardens.

I’m in Wales. Going into Tesco both this morning and this evening I noticed there were many without masks.
Turns out they are not mandatory here. But there still seems to be up to 40% wearing them
Anyhow’s, Back to Snowdon today, it was time to take on what many consider to be the most challenging route, the Watkin Path and it truly was a very beautiful scenic route.Well, all the hiking and weight loss i done during lockdown and since, has paid big dividends.
Today I went up Snowdon in North Wales via the Snowdon Ranger route which is an 8 mile route (up and down) with a 936m ascent. I went up to the summit without stopping in 2hr 5min and came back down in 1hr 55min making my return trip bang on 4hrs.
When I done this route first time in 2019 I didnt summit, my legs had just had enough. Even though I could see the top only about 20min away I reasoned that was an extra 40 minutes given I would have to travel it down again and decided to turn back as my legs had nothing left. I returned a few weeks later and went up and down in 5.5hrs.
Totally amazed myself today, taking 1.5hrs of that time, only stopping once on the way down for around 10 minutes. My legs clearly have much more strength and I am significantly fitter from a cardiovascular point of view.
As aboveAre you doing Snowdon again?

The weather seemed considerably better than had been forecast when I decided to go and when I parked in the car park at 10am my car was showing 25 degree And the sun was beating down, then as I was getting ready I realised I hadn’t packed my wide brimmed hat for sun protection. I was now asking myself if it was a good idea to go ahead. Result was I smothered my napped and everywhere else in factor 30 and off I went.
For the first half (90-100 min) I was smashing it. So much so I was starting to think “I will have another go at this tomorrow”, to do it on 2 consecutive days would be a real indicator of improved fitness.
Then the challenge started. The next 90 mins was touch and about 45 minutes of that was an area of loose screw and rock which was heavy going on the legs and much of it was scrambling with the bands coming into play. This didn’t feel like a challenging hike anymore, this felt like climbing a mountain and there was a couple of areas where you felt vulnerable and concentration levels had to increase to ensure sure footing with an awareness that a slip or trip had the potential to turn your day bad.
Anyway got to the top heavy legged on 3 hrs 10 min and immediately decided I didn’t fancy going back down the same route, so I carried on back down the route I done previously, the Snowdon Ranger and my up/down time was 5hr 20m. Wasn’t disappointed given the heat and taking the harder route but now I can tick that route off I won’t be doing it again, it’s just a bit more risk than I want or need.
I felt a bit iffy When I got back down and couldn’t decide If the sun had got to me or if it was because I had to pay 25 Scottish notes for a taxi to drive me back to where I had left my car.
I certainly won’t be doing it again tomorrow, I have tender toes and will see how the legs feel tomorrow.
I made myself feel better with a lamb vindaloo and I am now washing that down with a 4 pack of Elvis Juice
