Default Out and about after lockdown

When are people going to be out and about in their pride and joy vehicles?
Is it the second half of May, or second half of June, or second half of 2021?

Let us be positive, if only for informal meets....

Someone on another forum seems to think meets of up to 6 people are possible from the 12th April, i'm not so sure as nobody seems to have done a "bullet points" thing of when we can start behaving like normal human beings again instead of criminals under house-arrest.

Do i sound bitter about the Kung Flu? Oops!

Joking aside though, i've suggested to the person on the other forum we might be better waiting until we can meet without any encumbrance of restricted numbers etc and not having to wear stupid masks.

Other than that i'd suggest a few "accidental on purpose" meets where everyone just happened to be in the same place at the same time, especially if the numbers are above 6 - difficult for the Lurgy Gestapo to prove anything that way!

Just make sure someone arrives with a hearse, then you can have up to 30 attending the wake.

I will be out and about in the cars from 29 March, but not attending events until the rule of 30 has been withdrawn - so suspect it will be the second half of June.

I'm not sure if anyone has a hearse on that forum, i know of one or two stretched limos and a double-header car but no hearses. Maybe we can find one somehow though.....

Any old hearse will do, so it must be possible to find one somewhere. Just make sure it has a good body.

An alternative would be a wedding car, but then, you may end up having to marry one of the attendees in order to hold a reception. I think a hearse is favourite.

Yes - but whose body?

As for a wedding car, if memory serves one of the stretched limos is white so we could get away with that.

When I was stationed in Singapore during the late 60's, the station hearse was an old Austin K9 3 ton truck.
