Quick sample vote on such an intelligent Message Board - no names obviously - but are people aware of blatant parties, pub get togethers etc?

No pubs or parties but the amount of traffic on the road for lockdown is silly. I was driving in the valleys this sunday and last and there was a lot of traffic. Where the f**k everyone was going is beyond me.
I was out late on friday and sunday night too and there were cars going everywhere, but where?
Don’t know people having gatherings personally but heard of people doing it, the type that think they know it all. Clowns basically.
My mother too-ing and fro-ing back and forth to Swansea to see her idiot boyfriend (and him going to her house) and yet she keeps complaining about how long this thing is dragging on!! We’ve tried telling her, but she won’t listen.
My sister has neighbours who’ve always got loads of cars outside their house.
Everyone in a supermarket
Don't know of many breaking the rules but loads not following the social distancing advice. Having a chat in the street standing less than a foot from one another. Same with people in bus shelters sat right next to complete strangers, almost all not wearing a facemask.
My answer to the OP is no one, but, as someone who has restricted car trips to the weekly shop (with the occasional additional journey for what I deem to be essential shopping) and medical appointments, I'm also struck by how much traffic there is around the Treorchy area - far more than in the spring.
Football fans are most probably, because of the behind closed doors situation, the largest group of people inadvertently obeying the rules. The drop in the number of people we’re coming into contact with has dropped dramatically, packed pubs for a pre match pint, queuing outside the ground, being part of the throng milling around the concourses, then sat in the stadium perhaps grabbing each other after a goal has been scored, shuffling along in the crowd leaving the stadium, if you catch the football bus back into town there’s very often about 200 passengers on the bus, then a pint in town among the Saturday night crowd. Away trips spending hours on end in a 50 odd seat capsule there and back. The number of people I’ve mixed with since the restrictions has reduced astronomically since the crowd restrictions, would be interesting for some clever bugger to come up with the difference in the numbers the average football fan has come into contact with before and after,
A freind of mine used to come over and sit in our yard during the summer and into the autumn. We'd have a couple of drinks and a chat. He claimed that he was being good and we were the only people he was seeing, but every time he came over he'd let something slip that he'd seen this one and that one. It was fine at the time, because we wouldn't let him inside and we social distanced when we were outside. Anyway, we stopped going outside probably in late November and we haven't been him since. But we did hear that he got the Covid and that his symptoms were minor. He had dinner plans with someone that he didn't want to break so he got a "20 minute test" which came back negative, so he went for dinner and got a regular test the next day which ended up being positive.
Oh, and I saw a supermarket full of Hasidic Jews in Brooklyn last week. Men, women and children and not one of them was wearing a mask.
This morning two people were coming towards each other. When they stopped to chat both people took their masks off.
I agree and that point that it is much more than the first lockdown is the point I think. The areas I have seen are Newport, Pontypridd, Ebbw Vale, Merthyr, Rhymney, Aberdare/moumtain Ash, Cardiff, and the A470 and heads roads on general, all have lots of traffic.
In fact in Cardiff where I live the main road (Western Ave) was busier on Saturday than it was all the rest of the week.
In answer to the OP: no, I can honestly say I don't know anyone who is not obeying the rules.
