Rule of six?

Currently in use 6 pairs of reading glasses. 2 blue 1 turquoise 2 pink 1 red

6 cars. A white mini DH rebuilt from an mot failure, a chocolate brown mini, a small Peugeot 205 with the comfiest ever seats, a white Fiat 500, a purple Fiat 500 which looked black unless it was at a certain angle to the sun, now a red Fiat 500.

I have had 6 cats in the 21 years that I have lived in this house. Sadly only 2 remain.

Thinking of items which come in sixes. Does anyone else re-arrange the eggs in a six box when they remove one/some so that they form a symetrical pattern. GCs think I am wierd!

Children all count in england

You're right Maw!

I have six pairs of Hotter sandals, several of them are now well worn. I'm not sure how to dispose of them. Do I take them to a charity shop or put them in the bin?

Think I might have 6 pairs of shoes in total! Don’t really like wearing them..

And of course we all remember that wonderful film The Dirty Dozen Half Dozen

Wine rack: 6 spaces
Pairs of cotton PJ's 6
1 Navy Puffa Jacket
1 dog walking waterproof
1 Seasalt yellow waterproof
1 dark green cotton casual
1 camel and black wool formal coat
So only 5 coats, will need to remedy that!

There are often 6 episodes in a series.

When I lived in Nigeria eggs were sold in sevens! That always flummoxed me, being used to multiples of six. I suppose seven eggs are fine if you’re one person and have one a day but otherwise...

The list of your dogs prompted me to list mine. Dog 1- spaniel, German shepherd, collie cross (rescue), cross breed (rescue) huge poodle x, smaller poodle x -current dog, spaniel. So I fit the rule of six, with our current spaniel as dog 7 and only dog for now..
we've also had several foster dogs to assess before they have gone on to adoptive families.

I have six pairs of extremely high heeled shoes (known as car to bar shoes)
Black patent
Cream patent
Red leather
Silver with Swarovski Chrystal heels
Pale grey patent
Navy suede

Six pairs of Birkenstock’s various colours

Oh dear - I should have put this in the No Covid zone!
I think more than enough has been said about the ramifications of “Six” and if you read my original post this was about something quite different.
Trying again
Coats -it seems I have six of these too!
I have one long camel “big coat”
One black and white boucle smart coat
One dark blue boiled wool smart coat
One puffa with a big zip and detachable hood
One raincoat with a fake furry half lining
One lightweight rain jacket with a hood.

The rule of six applies to children (11 years and under?) in England whether they are asleep or awake.

One of the properly appointed experts answered a journalist’s question saying they anticipated. 80% compliance.

And now rule only applies indoors in Wales?

Nipsmum I think you will find that is only true in Scotland and Wales.

Would be lovely if I'm wrong but I don't think I am

Rule clearly says no more than 6 people to socialise indoors or out but as far as I can see if young children are in bed asleep or older teenagers are hibernating in their rooms then they are not part of the group. If the government would only follow the lead of Wales and Scotland then this would make the whole rule clearer and also much easier for the many families with more than 2 children to follow and adhere to

Remember children under 12 don't count in your visitor numbers.

6 pairs of shoes?
We went for 5 days away last week and I took 6 pairs of shoes - 2 pairs of loafers (for wearing with different outfits) 1 smart pair of heels for posh meal out, 1 pair comfy old trainers for walking/cycling, 1 pair of flipflops for beach and 1 spare (plimsolls)......bad news, I forgot to take any pants!! (Had to stop at large supermarket to stock up!)

Yes my comment was tongue in cheek. My DS lives over 3 hours away and we haven’t seen him and his family since before Christmas as he was due to visit when we went into lockdown. I do not want to spend a night in a hotel (which we would need to do if we visited) so we will just have to wait again.

I was thinking exactly the same thing GrannySomerset !

I wonder if the government works on the assumption that probably only around 80% will stick rigidly to the rules?

I remember reading how astounded they were with the level of compliance with the lockdown, so maybe that was also based on similar thinking.
