Neighbour has Grandson with her on Easter Sunday .

There are some very stupid people about that’s for sure.
My neighbour had ‘visitors’ on Easter Saturday.
I am shocked because they seemed a well informed intelligent couple.
I am finding it hard not to be judgemental though. I don’t know their circumstances but it can’t be right.

Sorry if this is too late to answer but I had to reply and say that a 'friend' of ours drove from Bristol to Gloucester yesterday to help he brother decorate!!!! And another 'friend' had her 2 young grandsons visit to collect easter eggs and cards. I just can't believe this 'It doesn't refer to me' attitude. The idiocy of some people is never ending.

Beverly10 You have hit the nail on the head I am completely isolating myself from my neighbours. Luckily I am quite detached from neighbour that had her grandson and I have my own porch it is open but far enough away from my neighbours front door and is over 2 metres away from her.

ReadyMeals; I cannot say for sure but I do not think the child and his mother have had the virus. I cannot say that for certain as I was so angry with how they were behaving I just did not want to speak to them. In regard of the child and it's mother she lives in a different household and not with the childs father, they are together but not living together.

The childs mother lives with her own mother and father and so this girls mother although perhaps in late forties going on to fifty is unwell has disability bars outside the house struggles to walk and is helped most of the time by her husband and other daughters, she is rather large probably for health reasons cannot walk far. So the daughter takes her child back to that household and brings further germs there.
In my opinion they are all stupid and whatever comes to them is all their own fault.

As we know or should know as we age so does our immune stem and am horrified that so many of the elderly cannot for once take on board that not seeing their GC twenty four seven is not the end of the world.I know for a fact my elderly neighbour visits her GC every moment possible Is she so blind that she is at risk by her stupidity.I am now isolating myself from my neighbour.

A young family in our street still has the builders in, doing their loft conversion.

Another neighbour had children from different homes playing together in their trampoline...

I am so thankful for the technology to enjoy video calls with my children and grandchildren until this is all over. I send cards and little parcels to them in the meantime.

Neighbours on both sides of us had visitors on Easter Sunday. We are all over 70 on this estate so it really annoyed us. It wouldn't be so bad if they stayed in the gardens but they all went inside stayed a few hours and then went off in cars. Why do some people think it's OK? We haven't seen any family for almost four weeks now so it just made us angry and sad.

Etheltbags1- that COULD have been a cancer nurse though,if the childs on chemo?

A friend of mine said her neighbours had family over. My friend is vulnerable so she didn't go an sit in her garden. I feel very frustrated with people that do this. I would live to have family over. But would rather be safe than sorry. Stay home stay safe.

OMG Bradfordlass73! If the people who work in a police station dont get it AND conform to it what chance do others have??! Arent the coppers(i know bradford - speak) who work there giving her a quiet warning?? I would! Whats the matter with them!

It's possible the child and his mother have already had the virus and so she feels safe about having him with her, but of course without the benefit of a certificate and/or a new rule saying people who have had it can ignore social distancing, there can be no doubt someone is breaking the law here.

Yes the 'rule' of children where parents 'usually' another parent has access rights can carry on doing so is stupid as well- the parents allowing it or wanting it must not care about their kids health then!

3nanny6, Your neighbour's family are stupid, either that or she's got a bob or two and they've got a not so cunning and very dangerous plan! Your family love you enough to want you safe and well.

Hi There be grateful you are you. They are very ignorant and this is wrong with society at the moment. You are doing your bit and they aren't.
Personally I would ignore them and carry on being you.

Icanhandthemback- i know its a strain on police but your advice is wrong! People should report it to police and they should deal with it! Otherwise the stupid people will carry on getting away with it wont they??

Obviously very ill advised and frustrating to see when we are all desperate for family contact.
However, is it a police matter ? Yes, unnecessary travel and not social distancing are under police control but is what you are foolish enough to do in your own home a reportable offence ?

Yes NanAnnie, you've coined just the phrase they could put on the leaflets! With few pics of the poor folk who are dying because of it! And also a very stern message about NOT mingling AT ALL for ANY reason with people who don't live in you're house!

Kittylester- yes id report them.maybe if you see the neighbour & talk over the (distanced) fence you could say "oh id have thought youd have stopped your visits for a bit for their sake?" And youl maybe shame her into stopping?then you wont have to report it.but the ones in the car yes definitely.

It does annoy that so many people cannot seem to grasp the meaning of keeping your distance and that family members who do not live with you should not pop round for a chat. My neighbours are the same chatting away with their sons in the garden all close to each other. We had to pop round to my DS house and leave Easter eggs on doorstep when they had gone for walk so our GD did not see us. I delivered them wearing rubber gloves and had not touched them for over a week so as not to spread the virus to their house. I cried later when we Facetimed and saw my GS crawling for the first time. I should have been looking after my GC but I want us all to survive this virus so I as a family we all stick to the rules. Your neighbours are the actions of so many. My son would not want to see us face to face as he thinks too much of us all to take stupid chances.

My neighbours have had their adult children and grandchildren to their house several times over the past weeks. It makes me want to report them. I haven't seen my loved ones in six weeks; birthdays have happened and we have all kept to the isolation rules. Why do some people think that it doesn't apply to them, or they are immune to disease?

I miss seeing my family,including 10 year old granddaughter,but it's what we have to do.I'm sure I've seen people near me getting together in gardens when they're not from the same household,but they shouldn't be doing it

The rules are very, very simple, 6ft apart or 6ft under. Anyone who is flouting the rules with whatever rationale they might want to use to do so is clearly a danger to themselves and everyone else around them. That's why we can expect lockdown to continue for far longer and the virus to continue to sweep the country and the world, all because of selfish and stubborn people.

Take your judgmental hats off and just do the right things yourself. The police have far too much to do to be getting phone calls from those reporting the rule breakers. It is irritating but there is little you can do about it. There will always be people who thing rules aren't for them and little we can do about except for keeping safe ourselves whilst encouraging our families to do the same.

I saw a twitter post that made me smile. “You can’t fix stupid. You can’t even quarantine it.”

People in our street all seem to be observing the rules thank goodness. I live on a main road, and have noticed that during the day the traffic has increased over the past week, but in the evening and at night it's almost non existent. Walkers too are keeping apart, so I think at least in my area - the west country where we have the lowest rate at the moment - people are being sensible. I'm missing my grandchildren so much, but am hanging in there waiting for all this to end so that we can all enjoy a huge hug to celebrate.
