Tier 5

It just came across that GB is now at Tier 5.

Would you mind elaborating what that entails?

Re: Tier 5

Can I ask where you got this information?

We’re in tier 4, no tier 5 here.

Re: Tier 5

The whole of England is in lockdown now pauline. It's effectively being called Tier 5 because there are just a couple of minor differences than which the country faced when in full lockdown back in March of last year.

Re: Tier 5

Not anymore pauline, we are back in 'Lockdown' but I think they are calling it tier 5 because it does vary slightly from a complete lockdown. You can go outside for 'Unlimited' exercise, but you were only allowed one hour before. And you can meet one other person outside, before you couldn't meet anybody outside.

Just beat me to it Dodge.....

BBC America, Pauline.

Thank you for the link, Dodge.

It sounds akin to the lockdowns many of us had back in March.

I listened to Boris at 8pm. As luck would have it, even while he was speaking my phone pinged a newsflash saying the same.

Re: Tier 5

I wonder how Boris got your number Dex.....
