New group of six restrictions

Well, is that not because the recent rises are happening in houses and not in pubs? Responsible pub-owners (and yes, there are some, in spite of what we hear) are taking contact details and ensuring that there is distancing, whereas there are too many people who are having parties at home with no precautions.

Erm, 6 friends at a pub----where there are dozens of others with 6 friends Insane.

In England 6 is 6 irrespective of age.

In certain areas of Scotland, we can have no-one at all in the house: Glasgow City, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire and West Dunbartonshire. Some of the most densely populated areas in Scotland.

It is really difficult to keep up with the changes.

It depends where you are. In Scotland you can have 6 from 2 households but children of 11 and under don't count. In England children of all ages count, but I think they can come from more than 2 households. The rules in NI and Wales have not changed.

Yesterday they said that a family of 2 parents and 3 children could only see 1 grandparent.

6 means 6.

If you google the government guidelines there is nothing stated about ages.
