Default Does it still feel like lockdown where you live?

All in the title really, would you say people in your area are abiding by the rules or has it all gone to pot?

The only place it still feels like lockdown is the shops where they still limit the number inside and you queue up to get in.

Everywhere else...

In the shops, pharmacies etc it does, oh and the fact Pubs, restaurants, gyms etc still haven't opened, that makes it feel lockdown ish but people in general are going out and about like they used to. We are allowed to travel anywhere in our own counties now though or 20Km from the house outside the county if you live on the border of another county.

Everything’s (pretty much) back to normal here now cause we have 0 active cases, but we still have to queue in shops and it’s a ball ache

Sort of. I live in the village end of my town and there are hardly any shops here, but we're also right between Kettering and Corby, so it's used as a through-way quite a bit.

One of our local pubs have been doing pints to go. Loads of the old guys who go in every lunchtime have been in bought their takeaways and sat on different benches on the green opposite having a pint and a chat. The pub has a one way system and there is only one person allowed at the bar (so the sign outside says, I've not been in).
