Thinking about this, I don't tend to go anywhere without a good reason anyway. I go on bike rides to stay fit, I suppose that I could do that on the turbo trainer. I sometimes pop out for beer, I'd call that pretty essential. The last time that I went more than a couple of miles was to buy chicken feed. Copper: What is the purpose of your journey sir? Stony: I need to buy chicken feed. Copper: That doesn't qualify as an essential journey I'm afraid. Stony: what? I keep chickens, if I don't feed them they die. Copper: Good point, but I'm going to ticket you anyway because I'm an industrial strength twat.
@ Stonyground It is wise to treat all plod as 'Industrial strength twats'. However much it may seem reasonable and justified to you, NEVER engage in a conversation with plod or volunteer details of your journey. And make damn sure you record the entire 'stop'.
If a business is lawfully open then we can leave home to buy goods or obtain services there. There is no requirement to prove that the goods or service is essential; the essential test was applied by the Government when they created the list of businesses entitled to remain open.
"Thinking about this, I don't tend to go anywhere without a good reason anyway."
I think the government feel that they can decide that for you...
"And make damn sure you record the entire 'stop'."
Indeed!

And yet Tesco and ASDA still cordoned off the clothes section...
