Panic buying... *WARNING - CURRENT NEWS RELATED TOPIC*

STEPHEN, should you actually travel to The Lakes this is what you will see!

It was only an example Jon but we can travel anywhere in England (from England) under the pretence of going to exercise.
It does not make sense (to me).

Stay safe & healthy everyone

I knew what you wrote was an example, STEHEN, I just wanted to show how damn ridiculous the whole situation is. Here in Barnard Castle, there has been a continous stream of vehicles, cars, bikes and caravans, passing thrugh on the way to The Lakes as the towns from whence they came have a very loose attitude to "lockdown". Many stop off here and totally ignore the social distancing demand, wandering around staring at the closed shops. And then the Authorities wonder how the virus spreads to areas which had no previous infections; like the countryside.

Exactly
People's selfish attitudes and lack of common sense is spoiling things for others.

So! This snivelling truth bending berk, who has just got over COVID-19, and could well still be a carrier of the viirus comes to my little town and may well have infected us... and he gets away with it!!!!
The Observer:-
---------------------
A week earlier Cummings was seen by another witness in Barnard Castle on Easter Day, 30 miles away from Durham, the investigation found. The town, which takes its name from the English Heritage site at its centre, is a popular destination for days out.
--------------------
If any of our OAPs here (and there are many) die due to COVID-19, he should be charged with manslaughter. Some of our children have just been identified as having the virus.

[Gingerlove05]

He should be charged anyway, if it was anyone else they would’ve been fined upto the eyeballs and his blatant and continued disregard for his own rules, people have avoided their own families so they can work and then theres this butthole.
Hope he gets charged and sacked irregardless

I would never do 200 mph on any road, well not in a Ford Fiesta

I have noticed that some local drivers are now speeding around ignoring the speed limit.
I pulled out of our side road yesterday to pop to Morrisons then someone driving in the opposite direction must of been doing about 60 mph followed by another car doing similar, both in a 30 mph zone.
It's crazy out there at times.

Even with a following wind I think you'd be hard pressed to get 65 mph out of a Ford Fiesta!

There seems to be a core of idiotic millennial drivers who are bored and have nothing better to do but be silly on our roads, plus there's just not enough Police out there to stop them.
