Social distancing.

I really can’t get my head around people’s attitude towards social distancing when out and about doing our daily local exercise or is it that they don’t understand what 2 metres is. Don’t get me wrong most people are very curtious and move over or wait in a gap and I will do the same and then smile with a thank you very much.

Out walking today with my wife along the local canal towpath, I lost count of couples walking towards us holding hands walking 2 abreast with absolutely no intention of un hitching from one another to maybe walk single file for a few seconds as me and my wife do every time we encounter walkers. Now the towpaths in parts are very narrow and a little bit of common sense is needed at times to work out what’s the best strategy, but even when we move over and go single file a few ignorant people decide they are more important than anyone else in the world and come marching through without even making eye contact.
