We had that here in quebec, it happened to our neighbors, not sure who snitched on them, they even went through the trouble of not parking at the same place.

Quite, we had many measures like that during covid. Not allowed to go on walks after 8pm unless you have a dog? Well guess what, everyone bought a dog, resulting in a surge of abandonned dogs when covid ended.

Nationally recognised signal

โ€œWelpโ€ can also be replaced by โ€œWell, I supposeโ€ฆโ€

Most years, my in-laws come here from Idaho. We have a small apartment and end up with 11 people here for a week. Itโ€™s a ton of expense, and my bonus usually goes to paying for things for them.

This year, they decided not to come down, and my wifeโ€™s parents are going to visit friends on Christmas. For the first time in our marriag3, we get a quiet Christmas alone. Weโ€™re going to drink mulled spiked cider, smoke weed, and watch all our favorite Christmas movies and shows.

Given the England flag in their name Iโ€™m guessing the UK.

I donโ€™t think we had any social distancing restrictions during any Christmas but some did come into effect shortly after, I donโ€™t think people were allowed to visit. I remember us having a new yearโ€™s party with our neighbours in the back garden, technically them not allowed to go into our house and having to stay 2 metres from them. Must have been December 2020.

There was a scandal that Boris Johnson held a Christmas party, when he told everyone else to not meet up. Wikipedia tells me, you guys had social restrictions during Christmas in 2020.

We did but you could have a certain number of people over on Christmas. It then got much stricter just after Christmas.

At least in Germany during Christmas 2020 you were only allowed to have private parties with a maximum of 5 people, from a maximum of 2 households.

This was however not enforced unless some asshole snitched on your family
