Good advice if you really aren't going to go out.

If the politicians have any sense (and they probably haven't) they will ask people over a certain age politely not to go out unless essential, e.g. for food shopping. That way they'll get respect. If they try to make it compulsory they'll simply be defied. I think the Scottish health minister has already given that reasonable advice.

In my village the majority of us are over 70. Supermarkets' delivery services are already fully booked and we can't realistically expect the younger minority to do all our shopping for us.

Even if you decide not to have any social contact, you could still take your car out for a drive just to get out of the house!

Why are we not going to be able to use it? May we not go for a drive without contacting other people?

Our tax is only £10-20 a month, and we can only save complete months anyhow.

Not just the over 70's who need to isolate ... anyone with a medical condition needs to protect their health too ... that includes those with cancer. Since I live with lymphoma (blood cancer) so I am looking a busy time gardening and working from home. Aiming for shopping only at unsociable hours. If I do need to visit the office it's by car only, fortunately I have my own office so not sharing works well for me at this time. Lots of phone calls, looking after mental welfare is as important as physical welfare.

As for SORN, for just 3 months' it's hardly worth it, but of if done there may be a saving for advising insurer too that car will be parked up for a period.
