themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-07--Shoppers face £200 fines for breaking Christmas shopping rules

With many shops in England now shut until at least December , many people will be considering different ways to buy their Christmas presents this year .
Essential stores like Asda , Tesco , Aldi , Home Bargains and B & M remain open , and are all selling Christmas presents and decorations .
And of course , the opportunities for ordering online are endless - but many shoppers are put off by not being able to see what they 're really ordering until it arrives .
Then there 's the faff having to wait in for a delivery , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ return things if they 're not what you expected , or if the recipient does n't like them .
As a result , some shoppers in England may be tempted to nip to Wales for a quick Christmas shopping trip once the firebreak lockdown is over , and non-essential shops are back in business .
Unfortunately , this is banned at the moment , and anybody caught travelling from England to Wales for a spot of retail therapy could risk a hefty £200 fine .
According to the Mirror , under the law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no person may “ leave or be outside ” the place they are living without an excuse set out in law .
If you break this rule , you are breaking the law .
However , you ’ re unlikely to get a criminal record .
That ’ s because , by accepting a £200 on-the-spot fine , you waive any risk of going to court .
If the fine is paid within 14 days , it halves to £100 .
For repeat offenders it doubles each time , up to £6,400 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ you broke the law to give you a fine - only to suspect you did so .
That means you could find yourself fighting a fine in court .
Here is the full list of 'resonable excuses ' for leaving your home during lockdown : • If it is ‘ reasonable necessary ’ to “ buy goods or obtain services from ” businesses that remain open - either for yourself , household members , or a “ vulnerable person ” or their household member .
• To withdraw or deposit money in a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
• To “ take exercise outside ” , either alone , with members of your household or support/childcare bubble , or with one person from another household .
Under this exemption , there must just be two of you in total - though kids under 5 don ’ t count towards the limit .
• To attend a place of worship ( though they ’ re only staying open for private prayer ) .
• To visit estate or letting agents or show homes ; view properties to buy or rent ; @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , rent or sell ; or move house .
• To visit someone in your support bubble or childcare bubble .
A childcare bubble is when two households join together for informal childcare for a child under 13 .
• To pick up takeaway food or drink .
• To attend work , education or training , or provide voluntary or charitable series , if it ’ s not reasonable to do so from home .
• To provide care or assistance to a vulnerable person .
• To provide emergency assistance to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ services , DWP services , victim of crime services , and asylum and immigration services and interviews .
• If you ’ re an elite athlete , to continue training or competition .
• To seek medical assistance , including to donate blood , attend medical trials or take Covid tests or a vaccine .
• To avoid injury or illness or escape risk of harm .
• To be with a mother giving birth , at her request .
• To visit a household , close family member or friend who is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or care home ( local rules on visits permitting ) .
• To attend a support group , including for domestic abuse victims , addicts and LGBT people , or provide or receive respite care .
• To visit a household , close family member or friend you reasonably believe is dying .
• To attend a funeral or wake , or burial ground or garden of remembrance , though there are limits on the numbers who can attend .
• To attend a marriage or civil partnership , but again there are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ allow children with separated parents to move between those two parents ’ homes .
• There are also certain exemptions for children in care and those preparing to be adopted .
• To walk or otherwise exercise your pet .

With many shops in England now shut until at least December, many people will be considering different ways to buy their Christmas presents this year.
Essential stores like Asda, Tesco, Aldi, Home Bargains and B&M remain open, and are all selling Christmas presents and decorations.
And of course, the opportunities for ordering online are endless - but many shoppers are put off by not being able to see what they're really ordering until it arrives.
Then there's the faff having to wait in for a delivery, and the absolute nightmare of having to return things if they're not what you expected, or if the recipient doesn't like them.
As a result, some shoppers in England may be tempted to nip to Wales for a quick Christmas shopping trip once the firebreak lockdown is over, and non-essential shops are back in business.
Unfortunately, this is banned at the moment, and anybody caught travelling from England to Wales for a spot of retail therapy could risk a hefty £200 fine.
According to the Mirror, under the law, in force until December 2, no person may “leave or be outside” the place they are living without an excuse set out in law.
If you break this rule, you are breaking the law. However, you’re unlikely to get a criminal record.
That’s because, by accepting a £200 on-the-spot fine, you waive any risk of going to court.
If the fine is paid within 14 days, it halves to £100. For repeat offenders it doubles each time, up to £6,400.
Police don’t need to prove you broke the law to give you a fine - only to suspect you did so. That means you could find yourself fighting a fine in court.

A young woman has issued a stark warning after a routine visit to the doctors led to a life-changing cancer diagnosis.
Darcy Shaw, 22, had been persuaded by her mum to ask her GP about a 'funny looking mole' on her collarbone while she had an appointment for something else.
Initially it was not thought to be anything serious but her doctor decided to test the mole as a precaution and a month later they discovered that she was suffering from skin cancer.
Just a few weeks after that Darcy found herself on the operating table for surgery which may have saved her life.
Now, she is urging other young people not to ignore possible cancer symptoms even while the NHS is under pressure during the pandemic.
“I think if I hadn't already been going about another issue, I would have put it off for some time," she said.

Solskjaer is under pressure after an inconsistent start to the 2019-20 season and the MEN understands former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has been sounded out about the possibility of becoming the club's next manager.
United suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League in midweek, which followed a 1-0 home loss to Arsenal in the Premier League.
They have only taken seven points from their opening six league fixtures, leaving them 15th in the table going into Saturday's match at Everton.
Ahead of that game, Ferdinand was asked about Solskjaer's future at Old Trafford.
“It depends on the hierarchy at the club," the former United defender told BT Sport. "The news coming out of the club, to my ears, is that they’re not searching for a replacement, they’re very much behind Ole, they’ve invested in terms of recruitment for him and they’re hopefully going to let him see that out.

Ferdinand added: “What I worry about with Ole is that his record is similar - if not, worse off - than Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal. So, what are the hierarchy thinking about Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?
"If he continues like this, then surely the end is quite near. I don’t want it to happen with Ole as he’s an ex teammate of mine, but you need to see a response.”


themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-07--Man Utd star Marcus Rashford explains how Raheem Sterling has inspired him

Marcus Rashford has revealed how he was inspired by England team-mate - and club rival - Raheem Sterling .
Manchester United ace Rashford has been making an impact on and off the pitch of late .
Off the pitch , he was recently awarded an MBE in the Queen 's Birthday Honours list for services to vulnerable children in the UK during the coronavirus pandemic .
The striker successfully campaigned for the Government to allow around 1.3 million youngsters to claim free school meal vouchers in England 's summer holidays .
Manchester City star Sterling , meanwhile , has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racism .
Rashford says seeing Sterling use his public platform the way he has encouraged him to follow suit .

`` For me , Raheem showed me if you 're not happy about something say it and make people aware of it .
It 's not a crime to tell people what you think , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sparked change for me . ''
Rashford and Sterling are colleagues on the international stage - both key men in Gareth Southgate 's squad .
The issue of racism reared its head in last year 's 6-0 victory in Bulgaria , when the game had to be suspended twice due to racist chanting in the crowd .
`` Since Gareth has come in we have done a lot of work off the pitch , with people coming from different communities - these are the best players in England but everyone is from different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ He found a way to bring us all together but it was natural , it was n't forced and no-one felt forced to speak about things they do n't want to .

“It will also be a boost for their customers who can now look forward to continuing to enjoy meals at home from their favourite restaurants.
As these reforms have made such a difference I will be considering making them permanent.”
Kate Nicholls, chief executive of UKHospitality, said: “The ability to provide takeaway services was a valuable lifeline for many hospitality venues, not just during the lockdown but in the days of reduced and restricted trade, too.
“The extension will undoubtedly help many. For pubs, restaurants and cafes to operate as takeaways gives them a previously untapped revenue stream and a much better chance to survive what will be a tough winter.”

What Guardiola learned from Liverpool’s Atalanta victory
Pep Guardiola was full of praise for Liverpool after their midweek victory over Atalanta in the Champions League, as the Reds ran out emphatic 5-0 winners. City face the champions on Sunday afternoon and will be keen to make up ground on the league's joint-leaders.
They have the benefit of facing a Liverpool team without Virgil van Dijk, but Guardiola believes that their showing against Atalanta proves that Jurgen Klopp’s team is still an outstanding outfit.
“The most important thing is that the surgery was good and I hope he can recover as quickly and as soon as possible,” said Guardiola of Van Dijk. “I will miss him, I like to play with the best players on the pitch.
“Liverpool remains an incredibly top team because the structure is there, every player knows exactly what they have to do. The result in Italy against Atalanta - we faced them last season and we beat them 5-1 at home but we know how hard it is to beat them away - and they did it.
“That's why Liverpool remains a top-class team.”
Guardiola names seven teams who could win the Premier League
After a fascinating start to the Premier League season that has seen some hugely surprising results, Guardiola named seven teams that he believes could win the title.
While City and Liverpool have been the dominant teams in recent years, the City boss now believes the field is far more competitive.
“They [Liverpool] are the biggest favourites but I think with what happened with the pandemic the situation is a bit different,” said Guardiola.
“I see other teams strong: Leicester maintained the level from last season apart from the last month-and-a-half of it when they dropped points but now have incredibly solid results from their starting XI and substitutions; Arsenal made a big step forward to be contenders; at Tottenham, Mourinho has the team what he wants; Chelsea is so stable now, not conceding goals and scoring a lot and has a huge squad for rotating top players; United in this moment is not in terms of results but we saw the quality they had last season, we suffered a lot in results and up front they are incredibly fast and clinical. They are top class.
“I think this season will be a lot of teams being there. The last five to 10 games will be important to arrive being there to fight for the title. Hopefully we can be there and arrive at the end with a chance to fight for the title.”
Carragher issues title prediction
With the two favourites for the title set to go head-to-head at the Etihad on Sunday, Jamie Carragher has issued his title prediction.
The Sky Sports pundit believes that only Liverpool and City can win the league this season, despite the greater competition among the top half of the table.
“I still can't envisage anyone else besides Liverpool or Man City winning the league. I just can't see that,” he told Sky Sports. “I know Tottenham have started really well, I hope they have a great season and there are more challengers, but I just can't see anyone else lifting that league title besides the big two over the last few years.
“There's no doubt, I would be very strong in putting Liverpool as big favourites for the title but for the injury to Virgil van Dijk, who is not just one of Liverpool's top players, he's one of the top players in the Premier League.
“I think if something similar would have happened to Kevin De Bruyne at Man City, who is their top man, I think we'd say the same about City, so I think it makes for a more interesting race.”

Previously, Primark's owners have said a website wouldn't work for its business model. John Bason, finance chief, previously told MirrorOnline: "Look at a £2 T-shirt. Everyone think it's clickety-click but one third of clothes get returned.

The government has now U-turned and promised to lay on £170 million of extra funding for free meals to disadvantaged children during the Christmas holidays.
The Prime Minister personally phoned the Manchester United striker after he played in his team’s Premier League clash against Everton on Saturday to alert him to the decision.
Rashford said he was “so proud” of those who had united behind his campaign and that he was “overwhelmed by the outpouring of empathy and understanding”, promising his supporters to “fight for the rest of my life” to end child hunger in the UK.
In a statement, he said: “Following the game today, I had a good conversation with the Prime Minister to better understand the proposed plan, and I very much welcome the steps that have been taken to combat child food poverty in the UK.
“There is still so much more to do, and my immediate concern is the approximate 1.7 million children who miss out on free school meals, holiday provision and Healthy Start vouchers because their family income isn’t quite low enough, but the intent the government have shown today is nothing but positive and they should be recognised for that.
“The steps made today will improve the lives of near 1.7 million children in the UK over the next 12 months, and that can only be celebrated.”

The money will pay for the Covid Winter Grant Scheme to support families over the season while the Holiday Activities and Food programme will be extended to cover the Easter, summer and Christmas breaks in 2021, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) announced.
As part of the package, Healthy Start payments, which help expectant mothers and those with young children on low incomes and in receipt of benefits to buy fresh fruit and vegetables, are set to rise from £3.10 to £4.25 a week from April 2021.
Making the announcement, Work and Pensions Secretary Therese Coffey said: “We want to make sure vulnerable people feel cared for throughout this difficult time and, above all, no one should go hungry or be unable to pay their bills this winter.”
The U-turn comes after the government last month whipped Conservative MPs to vote against a Labour motion in the House of Commons calling for the extension of free school meal provision following Rashford’s campaign.
Businesses and councils across the country stepped into the breach following the result, announcing they would fund meals during the October half-term for those who needed them.
Rashford’s petition for pupils in disadvantaged families to have their meals paid for during the holidays went on to attract more than one million signatures – mass backing which piled pressure on Downing Street to commit to more support.

The DWP confirmed the £170 million worth of winter grants would be administered by councils in England rather than schools.
The funding will be ring-fenced, with at least 80 percent earmarked to support with food and bills, and will cover the period to the end of March.
Local authorities will receive the funding at the beginning of December.
England’s children’s commissioner Anne Longfield welcomed the announcement but called on ministers to “go further” with its Universal Credit support – a move backed by the Child Poverty Action Group.
“Families are facing hard times financially and these measures will help,” she said.
“But I would like the government to go further and commit to retaining the £20 increase in Universal Credit which is helping many struggling families during this pandemic.

“Hunger does not take a holiday when schools close and a long term solution to the growing number of children in poverty is urgently required.”
Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, was among those heralding the fresh investment but said his organisation was “at a loss” as to why it could not have been ready in time for the October half-term holiday, which has recently finished.
He added: “Nevertheless, the commitment over the next few months is a positive step forward and should help to address the fact that the financial circumstances of many struggling families will have worsened as a result of the Covid emergency.”
Javed Khan, chief executive of children’s charity Barnardo’s, said: “This new scheme is a lifeline for vulnerable families who are struggling to feed their families and heat their homes this winter.
"It will also help prevent ‘holiday hunger’ throughout 2021.”
Councillor Richard Watts, chairman of the Local Government Association’s resources board, said winter grant money would allow councils to put plans in place to “ensure children will not go hungry in the Christmas holidays and February half-term”.
