HBM

It's everywhere the same !!
Well spotted and captured Keith this typical corona-scene.

This is great Keith. Happy Bench Monday is a new one to me !

Thank you Keith.
A photo with a rarity value for very well understood distance keeping.
It would be very helpful if more and more people understood this and did it in this way.
Only then would this be soon superfluous again.

Like your HBM bonus, Keith! ;-))
Have a good and healthy week!

HBM Keith!

Great candid and contemporary document.

HBM, Keith - have a good week!

HBM

Very concentrated... surely enjoying ! HBM

If it were post Christmas, Are these people socialising or are they individuals not known to each other, the first group could face a fine the second group are ok. What's the difference?.
At least they are all happy enjoying their fish & Chips HBM Keith and a good week for you and yours.

I didn't notice them arrive Maurice............I was on the other side of the pier having a coffee with Mrs B.............but I couldn't resist the shot!

HBM :-)

I have had some excellent fish and chips along there! The boxes look familiar. Two things that are a must at the seaside, F&C and ice-creams...whatever the season and weather ;-)) Superb picture Keith.

Thanks Rosa.............unfortunately the ice-cream kiosk was closed :-(

This is a terrific capture that made me smile Keith, I like the intense looks of concentration and the larger gap in the middle it looks like words had been had.

HBM, Keith!

Total concentration on the meal! HBM, Keith!

Everybody very concentrated
They have to be delicious!
Radiant image, Keith

Wow. Could just eat that! Going to raid the freezer right now

HBM and a good week ahead, Keith !

A great capture but I would say NOT adequately socially distanced for Dec 2020, even at the minimum 1.5m away. Maybe it is two sets of pair bubbles sat near to each other? My wife says I have a people phobia since all this lockdown -perhaps she is right :) What is this dreadful disease doing to our mental well being? Answers on a postcard.
ps I can smell the fish N chips from here and my mouth waters.

Keep safe. Herb

I didn't notice them arrive............I was on the other side of the pier having a coffee with Mrs B.............but I couldn't resist the shot!

We had fish 'n' chips ourselves before we left........and they were delicious!

Nice place for a picnic in the December sun, they are all very focused on their fish 'n' chips ... HBM Keith.

As I understand social distancing is 2 metres or 6 feet which means a tallish man should be able to lie down on that bench between each person. Don't think they could even in the middle. Makes a good picture though. They are all enjoying their food. There's something about eating fish and chips outside beside the sea. Really adds to the taste and the pleasure.

Glad you like the shot Jean. To be honest I didn't give much of a thought to the social distancing aspect until I came to post it. It is a bit odd though.

very very nice this

well distanced:)

Looking back these have been the good times! I'd have liked to joined them-at a safe distance:-)

Niet overal 1,5 m

Thank you for all your comments and/or stars! I'm always pleased when you like my images. It makes sharing worthwhile :-)

I shall take a tape measure with me next time :-))

Eine wunderbar eingefangene Szene, die es sich lohnt zu analysieren!
Der Herr links betrachtet skeptisch sein Essen. Ist etwas nicht in Ordnung damit?
Auffällig ist, das die Personen unterschiedlich große Abstände halten. Danach könnte man annehmen, die beiden Herren bilden einen gemeinsamen Haushalt, und die beiden Damen einen anderen Haushalt.
Nach den jetzt gültigen Corona-Regeln in Deutschland dürfen sich die Personen eines Haushalts nur mit einer weiteren Person treffen. Die Maßnahmen werden auch bei uns immer schärfer.
Apropos, Fisch! Die Versorgung mit Fisch aus Großbritannien funktioniert nicht mehr. Während die Lkws wegen des Brexits fünf Tage beim Zoll festhängen, verdirbt der Fisch, sehr zum Schaden für die britischen Fischer.
Eine verückte Zeit. Bleib gesund, Keith!

As I've said to a couple of others Wilhelm, I have no idea about the relationship of the people so cannot really comment, but it's interesting to speculate.

I know what you mean about tougher restrictions...............but it's for the common good and I think most people can see why they need to be applied. Hopefully, now we have some vaccines, things will get better..............but it won't happen soon and people need to understand that and be sensible!

I hope that the confusion and delays caused by Brexit settle down soon........it's in everyone's interest to work with what we have..!!

Crazy times indeed. Stay safe my friend.

Well observed, Keith.

Thank you John :-)

Now you're making me feel hungry thinking of fish and chips, Keith. If I was to hazard a guess, I'd say that the two women are in their bubble, and the two men don't know either each other or the women. We're all guessing here. ;-)))

Yes indeed..............as soon as we arrived on the pier we could smell them and just had to partake!

I think you're right about the men and women Amelia, but we'll never know :-)))

Thanks for dropping in!

Pour ma part, je pense que ce sont des agents secrets. Dans la boite,ils écoutent l'enregistrement de leur nouvelle mission. (Bien entendu la boite s'autodétruira dés la fin du message. ) Tu as pris la photo juste au bon moment Keith.
