Last game of 7 a side footy last night. No idea how outdoor sports is meant to spread covid, but schools and university don't. Something tells me this government doesn't have a clue

Could you not put a big tent over the golf course and call it a Chinese takeaway and then everyone could play golf under the tent cos it would be safer?

I am sure there will be plenty of work for drug dealers during lockdown

I was put on furlough during the last lockdown, was then asked to take a pay cut, and then eventually made redundant. Right now, well I really needed income so I’m working at a manufacturing factory as a temp. Big pay cut from last job but hey, need income.

So...who's on furlough again..? Not been on it at all during this crisis.

What sector do you work in..? Public.

Will you have a job to go back to..? I'm still working. Never been busier!

What are you going to spend the next month doing..? We're coming out of lockdown on Monday so I can, from next week, go out for a pint with up to three of my friends so happy days

For all the mocking we got in Wales from the right-wing English-centric press we've now got more freedoms for the foreseeable. Davina McCall has been getting a lot of stick on Twitter about it for one!

You're all jammy bastirts, i've had to work from home all year for only 20%.

That said i'm sure the uncertainty takes it's toll and hope everyone can still afford a Xmas for their family. I'm in a lucky position with me and my partner both relatively secure in our jobs so planning to donate some presents to our local Xmas appeal this year.

I'm a teacher, so we're usually public enemy number one during each lockdown

Also, to respond to a comment above, why Golf course are closed is beyond me - It may bore me to death, but last time I checked, you play the game, virtually by yourself and outdoors
