So you can play tennis against a single opponent but only touch the ball you serve with,  so each player uses their own balls, (oh er missus).  You could play doubles if your partner is in your household.  You can’t go too near the net if you get within 2m of the opponent.  No sharing the fruit squash. 

Unless you are in Scotland where you will be nicked as we are still under house arrest . I can see Andy Murray applying to be given honorary English status. 

As a Scotsman it hurts me to be the bearer of bad news, he already lives in England, better than the tax exile Lewis Hamilton.

The hospitality reopening in July news had a picture of, what I am seeing, as a gig ticket on it. Result!

I thought it looked more like an old fashioned cinema ticket, or an equally old fashioned bus ticket.

So if I fancy a game of tennis I could always use Hadrians Wall as the net!

I guess cinemas can socially distant more than any other?

I'd be really surprised if not given we can drive to the beach and sunbathe. Garden centres seem a bit trivial at that point!

I took it to infer cinemas, and maybe theatres. But it's anyone's guess. More ambiguity.

I’m sure it will all become clearer in time ... might take me about 3 weeks ... at that point I’m going to start working out the next lot of instructions ... this is worse than those bloody flat packs

Do you think it will have the word 'conditional' in it?

I would think you would release the guidance with the main broadcast, tomorrows papers for going to have misleading information in and cause more issues.

Although I have the feeling that the document isn't ready yet, but they had to go ahead with the broadcast.

If the document was released tonight the media will still twist it to score points to be honest, this has been clear over the past few days

The media being the media wouldn't even read the document, but it would be good for other people to read it

You can sit in a park all day 2m away from people you don't know who may not have been practicing social distancing but can't sit in a garden 2m apart with relatives / friends who have been doing it all properly? 

Bonkers.

P.S. gutted I can't play sports with my parents, was going to make my mum go in goal.

Yeah I reckon cinema ticket. Cinemas are much easier to social distance. 

[Mouseboy11]

Hospitality etc opening in July is an absolute best case scenario, won't be happening.

Because they need to pay sure the bosses get the money in over anything else, what else would you expect from a Tory government.

Yeah this is all a bit confusing.

Like what's to stop thousands of people from now going to the beach and saying they're there to swim (exercise). What's to stop people from going to sit in the park with all their mates and just lying about being in the same household?

So, no changes other than.. on Wednesday you don’t need to lie that it’s your first jog of the day?

And you don't have to lie that you both happened to turn up to the park at the same time.

Basically, it's the stuff that was almost impossible to enforce has been dropped.

It's a trust element, but some have proven recently to not be worthy of that trust.
