No one obeyed the rules!

I'm sure there are lots of people flouting the rules but there is nothing we can do about it. You noticed this because it was in your street, but the same will be going on in all the streets around you. Just let it go or you will worry about something that is out of your control. Just do what you know is right and tell others you are abiding by the rules.

As long as you are not then mixing with your neighbours you are keeping yourself safe.

I am in Tier 3 and we were allowed to mix with 2 other households for the day, so I can't see what your problem with with the 3 young couples was they were probably with family.

Stick with the rules and you will be fine x

I don’t know what any of our neighbours did - I wasn’t peering out to check on them all day long.

My social media feed is FULL of friends with very mixed groups. The only people missing from a Christmas day group with people from at least 5 different households, were the elderly great grandmother and great grandfather. At least THEY had the common sense to shield.

I know many who are breaking the rules and ignoring guidance. It's very disappointing and it is our business because it affects all of us.
But what can we do about it really? We have to just trust that enough people are sticking to the rules to make a difference.

Most people I spoke to were not mixing with even close family, just staying on their own.
