So, there we have it.

We still need to keep our distance, but that minimum distance has been reduced from 2 metres to 1 metre, from 4th of July

But what does 1 metre actually look like?!

Luckily, we're here with some measuring systems that any Doncastrian learns as a child ⬇️
Anyone who grew up in Doncaster will know the undeniable glory of freshly-baked chocolate concrete and pink custard. Yes, really.

Little did we think that four trays of this beautiful stuff could one day help us save lives.
Lush. Full of life. Flourishing.

No, we're not just describing the beautiful Doncaster countryside - we're talking about the coiffed locks of Mr Kevin Keegan which defined a generation.

Imagine five of the bad boys, and keep that distance apart.
Next time you see your friends or family, imagine that you're world-class athlete @InspiresMBE.

If someone starts to get too close, question whether you'd be able to land a round-house kick to their face. If so, take a step back (and a deep breath. Violence is NEVER the answer)
Those of a certain age will remember borrowing ice skates from the iconic @DoncasterDome.

Thankfully, hygiene standards are MUCH higher than they were in the mid-90s, when even 1m wasn't enough to spare you from the distinct waft of skates previously worn by a sweaty 9 year-old.
Finally, how could we leave out lovely @Louis_Tomlinson?

If 1 metre is 0.6 Louis Tomlinsons, and 1 Louis Tomlinson was 0.2 of One Direction, does that mean...

...1 metre is 0.12 Directions?
If you just remember these simple measurement systems, then we'll all stay safe and well!

No need to thank us, it's our pleasure.
Whichever way you measure a metre – by good-old 3ft 3inches, or by any of our useful Doncaster metrics – the message is still a serious one.

We still need to keep our distance to help keep ourselves and others safe.
We're glad that everyone approves of our new measuring system - now we've just got to replace the metric system officially.

Just to be clear - 1 metre is the ABSOLUTE minimum safe distance, and only if you're using other protective measures like face coverings.
To further illustrate this point, here are two more Doncaster legends adjusting to the new normal:
