I'm a self employed 64 year old who receives no payouts from the Government (apart from a Civil Service pension every month) who, for the past five weeks has had my weekly shop done by a Council appointed volunteer who is very good, but only goes to the local Lidls and so I cannot get all of the stuff I need. Therefore, I've made the choice to also do a fortnightly shop myself to my local Tescos (in Aberdare) - those trips, plus one or two more to the local Co-op, are the only food shopping I've done in the last eight weeks. In that time, I've also had to travel to local doctor's surgeries three times for blood tests, have taken my dog on a once a day walk very early every morning and I've gone on a once a week ten minute drive without stopping anywhere to make sure my somewhat unreliable car is still working!

As a result of the various Government announcements in the last few days, the only change I will be making to the above lifestyle is that I will start taking the dog for an additional walk today. I have decided to follow the advice of the Welsh Government, while ignoring what the UK Government says - I have come to that decision because I could understand what Mark Drakeford was saying, whereas I couldn't make out exactly what the Prime Minister, who I thought waved his arms about a lot and looked in good spirits, was trying to tell me.

Not much, a few decorating jobs coming in but that’s it. 64 isn’t to old to go shopping is it bob? I see far older in supermarket queues or you can go early and catch the oldie hours?

I'm 64 and shop every week for a 90 year old lady and I'm on standby should 18 households (mainly bungalows occupied by old folk) in my street require shopping. And as I still work part-time (from home at the moment) I keep my fingers crossed that they don't all end up calling on my services.

No, although I have a heart condition, take medication for hypertension and am overweight, I didn't think I'd qualify for having my food bought by a volunteer, but was advised by someone who was involved in the scheme that they thought I would be and this was later confirmed by a councillor and council employees - I feel a little guilty about it at times, but it seems pretty clear that I'm entitled to it even though I,m not on the most vulnerable list.

Nothing to feel guilty about. You have underlying conditions that could result in you having a tough time. You're also ensuring that you don't spread the virus should you get it and be asymptomatic.

I won't be changing anything I am doing for the next 3 weeks which means I'll be going food shopping once a week and taking the odd walk.

The one change I'll make thanks to that nice Mr Drakeford is to get out more to observe neighbours very closely. I view them all with the utmost suspicion and disbelieve everything they say.

Decent people live by the maxim of nothing to hide, nothing to fear. Everyone living nearby close their curtains or blinds when darkness falls. What are they concealing?

Very little, the weekly shop and twice weekly trip to the office.

I assume the meeting up with family and friends at a social distance is just for England?

The lack of clarity between the devolved administrations and the UK for someone that doesn't tune in to the news every day just feels unnecessary.

But as you live in Wales it is only the government that affects you. And it is not advice it is law. You have no choice if you wish to not break the law.

But the instruction from the government that controls where you live is not "Stay alert" is it? So it doesn't apply to you? You are onlky banging on about it because Boris said it, but it isn't directed at you, it doesn't affect you and the message that does is clear. What's the problem?

Your just being disingenuous because you have no argument when it comes to "stay alert" - are you seriously saying that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Welsh people will have watched that last night and thought it doesn't matter because none of it applies to me?

I think the general populus are cottoning on to the fact that Johnson is a rather hopeless buffoon who muddles his way along as he doesnt like the work that comes with the job. Not turning up for meetings, being ill-prepared, jovial and ineffective (he just expects everyone else to sort out his mess) are characteristics he has displayed more privately until he got his current job. Oh, and when pressed he just makes something up. 200k CV tests a day. That sounds good. No thought given to it at all. Just use some common sense in these unusual times.

From what I understand you're dog can now go to the shops twice a day with one non-household member. If he's [or she's] a guide dog or Police dog - and works in England - he can go back to work as well.

xsnaggle is right but is saying it in a very xsnaggle way.

None of the changes Johnson mentioned yesterday apply to you or anyone else in Wales, in fact he should have specified that he was talking only to the residents of England because a lot of people will have watched that and assumed he was addressing the UK, as you rightly allude to.

I presume that he didn't specify because it would have made him look weak and shown that Wales, Scotland and NI have distanced themselves from him regarding the best course of action so as a result Wales will probably be divided between people correctly sticking to the lockdown as it stands for the next 3 weeks, and people incorrectly sticking to the "stay alert" version he announced yesterday

I honestly think that despite what is said by the people on this board that the great majority of people would rather be more relaxed about it and use their common sense than be ordered to do what the government says. Whether that is right or wrong. AS I've said before, this country is goeverned by consent and if people think the law is bad they will ignore it anyway.

Totally agree with you TOBW;there could not have been a more confusing message sent out than BJ's speech to the nation yesterday. Why the hell did they drop the Stay At Home slogan and replace it with Stay Alert? All he has done is offered a green light now to all the idiots who have been trying to break the lockdown rules. The vast majority who have abided by the lockdown rules I hope will continue to do so. I think he has dropped a massive clanger unless of course the panic is now over?

The programme was closely followed by people saying on BBC Wales exactly that. But as usual people will accept and believe what suits them, it is human nature. In reality I think a great proportion of the population will wish that it did apply to them.
As someone said on another thread, because this cannot be seen like pox or something could, people tend to think its OK, and it is human nature to believe "It won't happen to me, it is everyone else." If people always believed something bad would happen to them nothing would ever be done.
It may be wrong, it may be sad but its the way people are.

Apparently, twenty six million watched Johnson's performance on Sunday, so I'm sure there were hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Welsh men and women who saw him. As far as I'm aware, Johnson at no time said these rules apply to England only - if you think all of the Welsh people watching thought this doesn't apply to us, then you're mistaken because I know of one person at least who assumed he was talking to the whole of the UK, not just England.

Look, I've just seen an ice-cream van pull up down our street of 14 houses. Four of the houses have young kids and, guess what, all four sets of kids were out getting an ice-cream. No 2m social distancing (not that you'd expect young kids to do that, or understand it - parents were all safely inside). Kids now eating ice-cream/lollies on the pavement and playing together.

Ice-cream man is self employed so will be getting taxpayer's money to adhere to the rules - obviously that isn't enough for him.

He's now down the next street where, I suspect, a similar thing is happening.

Would he be doing that if Johnson's message was clearer, or as tough, as the Welsh message? I can only speculate but, this is the 8th week of lockdown, the weather has generally been very good during this time, and it's the first time he's been down the street.

Did the ice cream man have gloves.? Ive seen 2 both with gloves. I dont get it. Wouldnt it be better to just keep washing or using hand sanitizer.

Saw a couple come out of a local Lidls last week. Both had used masks , took them off walked to a chippy more or less next door and walked in for food and put the masks on again. Now I suppose they could be using them to protect others but I doubt it. If your so scared of catching Covid from the person in the chippy while your in there why the feck would you eat the food they are preparing and serving. Just dont get it.

I didn't go out but, yeah, wearing the same pair of gloves for a week means he is somehow more hygienic in his own mind. He wasn't wearing a mask, I could see that much.

I see people in the supermarket wearing rubber gloves but using their mobile against their face.

Yep, then some of these people just dump the gloves in the trolley for the next person to clean up. Clearly looking at protecting themselves first, second and last.

I saw a video of a lady in the US who had cut out a mouth hole on her mask "to make it easier to breathe"
