Changing tiers

[victor]

is not supposed to be allowed ,so what can you do when half of your local LIDL is in Portsmouth (T4) and the other half is in Fareham ( T2).

it's all just a tad daft, isn't it

[Workingman]

It's happening all over the place. Petite bureaucrats can only work on lines between council areas. It is way beyond their intellectual capabilities (if they have them) to use logic and to put one town or village in one tier or another. If the imaginary line splits a street in half or has one side of the road in one tier and the other side in another then that's it: final.

Another example --

Solent Airport ( RNAS.HMS Daedalus) is in Fareham T2,climb over the perimeter fence and your in Lee on the Solent T4

Tier 3 now, for us

[meriad]

A friend of mine lives on the Isle of Wight and they're going from Tier 1 to Tier 3. She's pretty annoyed because it's all caused by out of towners that either have 2nd homes on the Island so wanted to escape Tier 4 or people in Tier 4 popping across for some non-essential shop shopping.

I think Dorset is still Tier 2 but quite honestly it's only a matter of time.
Cases are increasing exponentially just like elsewhere but that's only because we started off from a very low base line so our case numbers currently don't look "that bad" compared with other areas like say Rotherham or Birmingham.
But give it a couple of weeks and they will ......

Not surprised Somerset has gone into Tier 3, there's been strong reports of a spike in cases around Yeovil for a couple of weeks now.

Personally, I think this Tier thing is a complete nonsense now. It should be all or nothing, and being a closet Locktivist, I'd favour the whole country into Tier 4 until things are going in the right direction again.

I think we slipped into a parallel universe some time in March, Saundra! Either that or one of us will walk out of the shower, like Bobby Ewing in Dallas, and it's all been a bad dream.......
