Lots of short memories on here on how ridiculous the lockdown rules were and how over zealous the police were.

Taped up park benches, police driving around parks on a loud speaker shouting “exercise only, no sunbathing”, sending up drones in the Peak District to spy on walkers, women fined for walking with takeaway coffees, people warned for breathing to heavily whilst running, being able to shop in a supermarket for booze but banned from buying clothes in the same shop, kids playgrounds taped up, “mandatory” mask wearing but you take them off to sing, I say “mandatory” but you could self-certify your requirement not to wear one, masks required in shops but not in pubs, put your mask on to walk the 5m from the pub/restaurant front door and take off at table.

I could go on, and on, and on, some devolved rules were even stupider.

So yes, when the rules were stupid and didn’t make a jot of sense, I ignored them, because I was taught not to do silly things that don’t make sense just because someone tells you to.
