Good job most people don't throw parties at the weekend then.

Remember they can’t bring in stuff straight away as there would be “chaos and confusion”

In Scotland it’ll be no more than 5 people from Friday and in Wales no more than 7 people from Sunday I expect

You must not gather in groups of more than 6.

Except in Schools, on public transport, in pubs, restaurants, cafes, at the office, at the gym, in the swimming pool, at the bowling alley, in shopping malls etc..

Clearly younger folk aren't listening at all now.

One week into gatherings currently on hold here in the Glasgow City Council area, my neighbour two floors up had a house party with approx 30-40 people.

Their was local reports coming out here that the Scottish Government is now hinting that pubs are the new hotspot for cases. Surprised that hasn't made the headlines.

BBC News:

Coronavirus: Social gatherings above six banned in England from 14 September

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-54081131

Quote:
Social gatherings of more than six people will be illegal in England from Monday - with some exemptions - amid a steep rise in coronavirus cases.
A new legal limit will ban larger groups meeting anywhere socially indoors or outdoors, No 10 said.
But it will not apply to schools, workplaces or Covid-secure weddings, funerals and organised team sports.
It will be enforced through a £100 fine if people fail to comply with police, doubling up to a maximum of £3,200.
Several exemptions apply to the new rules - which come into force on 14 September - with households and support bubbles bigger than six people are unaffected.
A full list of exemptions will be published by the government later.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to deliver further details at a Downing Street news conference on Wednesday.

In a preview of his address, the PM said: "We need to act now to stop the virus spreading. So we are simplifying and strengthening the rules on social contact - making them easier to understand and for the police to enforce.
"It is absolutely critical that people now abide by these rules and remember the basics - washing your hands, covering your face, keeping space from others, and getting a test if you have symptoms."
No 10 said any group of seven or more people gathering anywhere "risks being dispersed by police or fined for non-compliance".

What are the new rules?
- Social gatherings of more than six people in England will not be allowed in law from Monday 14 August
- The new rule applies to private homes, indoors and outdoors, and places such as bars and cafes
- The rule does not apply to schools and workplaces, or weddings, funerals and organised team sports
- A full list of exemptions is due to be published before the law changes
- People who ignore police could be fined £100 - doubling with each offence to a maximum of £3,200

Thats a bit bigger news, most pubs will just close then, won't be making money with that level of customers.

I think they are, but it’s difficult to police two groups of 5 going in a bar and not mixing together as one group of ten.

I presume it won't be limiting to 6 people in the pubs full stop, just 6 people in each group. So no long tables.
