Leaving aside the poor grammar (should be 'fewer'), I have a question.
If I go out with a group of fewer than two, and I meet a friend, will one of my group have to leave so the friend can join me?

Social Distancing Question
The Gummint says we can gather in "...groups of two or less."

Re: Social Distancing Question
Umm ..... wouldn't fewer than 2 be 1, so the friend would make the group up to 2 persons. We'll leave out Monty Python's "Eric the half a bee" from the scenarioGreynomad wrote: ↑Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:45 am The Gummint says we can gather in "...groups of two or less."

Re: Social Distancing Question
More questions than answers in this one. Is two of anything a group? Most certainly less than two is not a group, which I think is the point being made by Ray.

Re: Social Distancing Question
Shouldn't you have put a full stop after 'upper terminal', Ray? The point is that the point is the lower terminal - the point.

Two is a pair, so it's not a group.

Well, it seems the gummint regs on social distancing may have gone pair-shaped.

Glad that you took the trouble to work it out, Ray. I couldn't see the point.
