Boris Johnson's address to the nation.

I know its not shooting related but I am just interested to know what your reactions are to his proposals.
I was furloughed from day one and have spent six weeks at home bored out of my skull. But I have stuck to the rules.
What do you guys think is it time to be going back to work as he got it right or his he jumping the gun.

It's a balancing act that no matter what they do, people will kick off and complain. I'd hate to be in government right now, all decisions will have negative consequences and it will weigh heavily on those who have to make those decisions.

A balancing act indeed.

What I want to know is, can I go clay pigeon shooting?

He said you can do unlimited exercise and play sport outdoors (on your own), with people in your own household or one person from outside your household so long as you keep your 2m (I got that last statement from the Guardian).

But the list of sports is fishing, golf, tennis and bizarrely swimming in the river. Do we think they just forgot it from the list or is the list all that is allowed?

Why do they have to have a "slogan"?? And what does it actually mean? Be alert to something that's only visible through an SEM?
Why not simply say keep 2 metres away from people you don't live with, wash your hands before leaving the house and immediately after returning, or you may die, and let everyone get on with it.

Is that essential travel?

Will the place be open?

[Blackstuff]

'Essential' has now been dropped. As far as i'm concerned you could go clay shooting if the place is open and you stay 2m away from anyone not in your household, but I ain't paying the fine if your local police think differently!

Christel/Overpaa - Interestingly NCB have just posted they're planning on opening once they get the ok from Lincs licensing team

I've been getting emails from a clay pigeon shooting ground on permasend about their plans to reopen.

I'm sure I haven't been there in the last ten years and had forgotten I had ever given them my email address!

I've opted out of their distribution list, it's too soon for my tastes.

We were literally just talking about this. Martin has been quite anti the lock-down and has always maintained that with common sense people could start getting back to normality. The problem is people, for the most, lack common sense :(

If gyms are to remain shut then I struggle to see how a club can open.

If NBC is to open now then it hopefully will be without access to the club house...I for one am not going in there.
