For goodness sake, it's easy to keep a bit of cardboard even in a flat. You just break boxes down and store them flat behind a sofa or cupboard. They will take up very little room. Pathetic.

Despite the shouty capitals Nannan does your son live in your house?
If not, he should not be driving you to the shops, but doing your shopping for you and leaving it on the doorstep.
Do you see what I mean by “honourable exceptions” ?

My friend is regularly visiting her elderly mother, as always. She said that her mum needs her help - but she doesn't. My friend lives with her son and they are always shopping - so I'm just waiting for the inevitable!

Tillybelle,it really upset me too as one of my sons is a bus driver! He had always loved buses from being a small boy& used to have office jobs,then a call centre,(at least he'd have been safe,working from home)so when he got chance about 18-24 mths ago,to drive a bus,he took it& has loved it! But now im so worried for him- i spoke to him about a month ago,and he said hes being safe,with gloves & gel etc,but now with death of these poor drivers im panicking for him!!!my youngest daughter too is in shop/&supermarket and im so worried for them both!

OK folks I need to rant....One neighbour is only going out when they need to. Other neighbour who is ALWAYS a problem even before the virus thinks it fine to have visitors and family as and when. She is in and out in a car constantly and tells folks shes visiting her elderly mother. Ok she may be allowed to drop food off etc but shes gone literally hours at a time, numerous times a day. We only go out for food once a week and yes we do have to use the bus as we have no village shop and we have no one to help us. This neighbour thinks HER behaviour is fine when she looks down her nose at us struggling with bags of shopping. The phrase IM ALL RIGHT JACK springs to mind.

Yep same here. My neighbours come and go, have their son and daughter in law and grandchild visiting. They all go off for walks and bike rides like they are on holiday. I’m really cross that they are flouting the rules! Unbelievable.

We phoned the police to shut down a very loud party at the end of our cul des sac. We put up with very loud music for 15 mins and then I looked out of door to see who it was. They had speakers on the drive way and I was astonished to see about 20 people dancing in their front garden. Clearly they did not all live there. Also some people were dancing along from their own drive ways. My sons were in bedroom watching TV and came and told us they could not hear TV as music was so loud and they had windows shut. Then I saw more people walking past our window towards the party house with balloons. After a few minutes more people went past our window towards party house. We decided to phone the police. They got there quite quickly and shut it all down. The music stopped and we counted over 30 people pass by our window. I can only assume it was a birthday party. My son says don't be surprised if we get an egg thrown at our car for reporting them.

OMG what morons. Good for you for reporting them newnanny.

My neighbour who is 85 suddenly has two children appearing to walk the dog, a loophole to get out their house as they never visit normally. I can hear them in there I thought you had to keep away from relatives.

What happened to good old fashioned manners and thoughtfulness. When I light the barbecue I place it as far away as possible from other homes and usually let the neighbours know in advance - obviously more difficult now.

A local publican started getting some really rough new aggressive customers who were driving out his regulars and others. He was naturally intimidated and wary of confronting them. Someone advised him to start playing classical music over the sound system and it worked like a charm.

NO you dont see Mawb youre assuming,again,anyone on here who reads my posts know that YES my 2 sons 21& 17 next week, DO live with me!!! He's learned to drive young (19) despite having a disability,and its been a godsend as we all 3 have disabilities/ medical problems,and without him it all wouldnt have been possible (our usual round of medical appts/tests/physio etc,which are mostly cancelled at moment)Im so proud of his acheivement.But the Blood test for warfarin cannot be cancelled im afraid and i cant afford a home machine to do it(£600) so we MUST go to it.i cant drive(epilepsy) so yes,he MUST take me.So YES mawb,SOME TRIPS ARE AN EXCEPTION!

Ive now been 'allowed' a sainsburys slot so wont have to shop either thank god!

Anything else to say mawB???

The house next door is empty after the previous owner died shortly before Christmas. However the offspring, who live locally but not within walking distance, are treating it like the local park, visiting with their dog and other family members. What makes me even more angry is the fact that they all work in healthcare so I would have expected them to know better.

I think it’s very sad when neighbours start snitching on each other.

When this is all over, will you still be speaking to them?
What we don’t want is the country to become a police state.

There will always be some who don’t follow the rules.

newnanny, well done and they won't know who reported them.

Normally I would be reluctant to report my neighbours. Now, though, in a state of pandemic and national emergency, I feel duty bound to.

They are a threat to everyone's health. Nobody will get away with putting my family in danger.

There have been house parties and barbeques (with many guests), a fireworks party, two sets of children and grandchildren regularly visiting parents (not bringing shopping - and, finally, a front garden crammed with people for a birthday party.

All these have been within half a dozen doors of me. Then, on TV news, we're told that 'most people are complying' - really?

No matter where you order from,even if its only food,theres cardboard& boxes.plus with most staying in theyve to order other things in.and yeh it may be managable at moment but if its 6 mths down line the amount is unthinkable.so i guess we can burn it then folk will moan were having bonfires again.Cant win!

They are breaking regulations so report them. You can moan all you want on here but that won't stop it. So report them.

I had to have a MRI scan Last week at a large hospital,and was astounded the amount of people in the corridors not following the 2M rule!!
Even though 5 people had died that day from the virus!!

And thing is people these days dont just retaliate with 'throwing an egg' do they? Theres attacks& knifings& shootings,as theres some psycho's out there these days..a poor nurse had her cat savagely brutalised it was on news emails this morning,poor thing had to be put down.so clearly the 'nutters' are still going out,only after dark,it would seem.

If they want the virus to be eradicated then they must follow the rules! The police should tag all the ones who have parties etc then they'd be sorry.

We managed to buy 6 eggs from our little shop a few minutes away across a park, rather than keep for ourselves I texted my daughter (with 4 month baby & breastfeeding) offered them to her as extreme shortage in shops round here. They were all out of eggs, plus a couple of other things so I washed my hands, wiped down the egg container with Dettol & the tins with soapy water, washed a plastic bag before loading, didn't touch anything else & hubby drove the three miles to them. I even closer the car door with my bottom, used my elbow to ring the bell and went back to car, waved through window but didn't loiter. The local village Bobby observed us go to and return from their address. It's heartbreaking I agree but the thought of infecting that longed for wee mite or her parents just strengthens my resolve. Luckily she's not old enough to ask where's her Nana's & grandpops are.

Please be careful when seeing a regular visitor. My neighbour's daughter visits. The daughter lives alone, the mum lives alone. They're not harming anyone by seeing each other. It's no different from the 2 of them living in one house.

I have also watched a nurse take the most ridiculous chances in these circumstances (and also prior to this).
This week that nurse was the one who facilitated 3 households to come together. Among the people involved there were cancer patients and heart and lung patients.
As far as I am aware this nurse works on the corona virus patients receiving ward in a huge hospital.
Oh dear !! What chance have the rest of us got?
