Groups larger than 2 banned
Discussion
Except you're not allowed to be with anyone from outside of your household therefore there is no legitimate group of 2 either.
Could someone please shed some light on this corona contradiction?
Perhaps an artifact in the wording from hastily drawn up legislation, although I'm starting to wonder either in fact the part they forgot to remove the was the exemption whereby you can go out with an unlimited number of people from your household.

13. Can I go to the park?
You can still go to the park for outdoor exercise once a day but only alone or with members of your household, not in groups.
Communal places within parks such as sports courts, playgrounds and outdoor gyms have been closed to protect everyone’s health.
We ask that households use parks responsibly and keep 2 metres apart from others at all times.
Unless you are with members of your household, gatherings of more than two people in parks and other public spaces have been banned. The police have the powers to disperse gatherings and issue fines if necessary.
Yes, completely clear...You can still go to the park for outdoor exercise once a day but only alone or with members of your household, not in groups.

I may be wrong but i think the legislation states groups of two or more...Could someone please shed some light on this corona contradiction?

Officers have been given new powers to disperse more than two people meeting outside – unless they live in the same household
https://metro.co.uk/2020/03/24/police-break-groups...
Is this just the media who have made a mess of their interpretation? Because the government website states
7. Can I see my friends?
We must all stay away from each other to stop spreading the virus, and that means you should not be meeting friends unless you live in the same household.

But surely it’s pretty clear what’s meant? Do we have to nit pick every f

I’m sure my grandkids could figure that one out.
So am I only allowed out alone or to be in a group of no more than 2, let's say 2, observing correct social distancing?king thing? I’m sure my grandkids could figure that one out.
2 is more than 1, you see. How might be in a group of 2 alone?
If you are suggesting that I could inadvertently but legitimately form a group of 2, for example by exchanging pleasantries, does that fall under the scope of the earlier paragraph forbidding meeting friends meaning that I could only group with strangers?
Because the level of your acquaintance has no impact on the contagion risk from 2 metres.
If it's all so very obvious why didn't the government make it so?

Can anyone explain the contradiction other than through the assumption that the rules are making an allowance for forming an accidental group of 2 by smiling at a passer-by, thanking the postman or waving at a child?
Because it states you can't meet friends. Perhaps this is to discourage socialising within the parameters of social distancing, but again I'm as likely to be infected by a stranger
