kruzseeka Posted May 31, 2020 #2077 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) What a nightmare...........all those people having to be herded together to say nothing of the foolhardy 'jumpers'. Beaches packed yesterday. We turned back from a walk because of cars streaming in, parking, unloading and soooo busy. Clearly come to enjoy the beach and sunshine which is understandable. I'm hoping so much that it's not going to come back to bite us....... though I'm fearful it will. (In case you've not seen it in the press, it's a picture of Durdle Door where some youths jumped from the arch injuring themselves so two helicopters landed at each end of the beach so everyone was squeezed into the centre to join the path to get off the beach, ) Edited May 31, 2020 by kruzseeka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like this will happen up and down the UK. I am fully expecting it to be on the news somewhere that a moorland fire has started because the idiot brigade fancy a bbq in the national park moors .

Interesting suggestion in one yesterday’s papers though that there’s a subplot behind the whole Cummings affair (planned by Mr Devious himself). Basically this - the affair encourages everyone to ignore the guidelines because they no longer see why they should. This produces another wave of infections. Government then faced with difficult decision on reimposing lockdown, which would be catastrophic for the economy. Decides it can’t do that, so ‘forced’ (blaming the public for not following the rules) into an alternative policy (as originally proposed by Cummings) of herd immunity, relaxing all controls and saving the economy. Downside, of course, maybe half a million deaths, mainly the elderly. Interesting theory........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping in the sea and being careless with barbecues just shows some of us can't be trusted... Give us an inch... Back to normality of the NHS, Fire service, Police etc being stretched... Oh the good old days when we couldn't go out, got paid anyway, the environment was clean and wildlife flourished... We are our own worst enemies..

Adawn47 Posted May 31, 2020 #2087 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Good morning all from beautiful sunny Barnsley. I've had a lovely productive morning. Tai chi excersises first thing this morning, (haven't done any in the last 10 days, naughty me😔.) Then breakfast and little household jobs done. My tomato plants FINALLY arrived yesterday, and so we've put those in too. Relaxing now with a coffee in the garden under the sun brolly. Bliss. Life is what you make it(must be the tai chi 😉) Have a lovely Sunday🌞 Avril 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare P&O SUE Posted May 31, 2020 #2088 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Good morning all, glad you’re sounding chirpy Avril. John and I just thought we’d pop to B&Q as desperate for some flooring for our kitchen - all we’ve got is a rug at the moment! Massive queues so we drive another 10 minutes to Wickes, pretty big queues there too. Then we thought we’ll go to our local Range store to get tea towels etc - huge queue again! Argh! So we walked around the marina that’s by the Range and came home! Now I’m in the garden again and John is putting the new light up he got a while ago online! Was going to do some chores but I see Wednesday which is my day off looks rainy - so I’ll save them til then 😊 Edited May 31, 2020 by P&O SUE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going out to the beach 10 minutes away for a picnic and a social distancing walk along the promenade trying to avoid the idiots who won't social distance. Got my PPE in the car in case we pop along to a garden centre later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Know what you mean though we really need the flooring as the old one was taken up just before lockdown. We’ve just got a furry rug there now! I’ve been very patient but it’s getting on my nerves now!

Josy1953 Posted May 31, 2020 #2096 Share Posted May 31, 2020 We have been out for our usual walk and saw hardly anyone, just another couple who live 2 houses away from us. Where have they all gone ?

The seaside seems to be the answer. The irony of our seaside towns being run down for years are now packed when all the businesses are closed...
