Tonight it's like all the pressure of the lockdown has blown open! The People reporting white vans are back, but the most exciting thing is the fact a lamb is stuck in the canal. We're talking full on 'ive got mobile lights im going there now' and rallying around to get the sheep out of the canal, but no one knows where it is.

Right now ours is a hive of activity as there's been a helicopter hovering over the river we border since about 2:30am. It's very noisy so loads of people are up. It seems it's a search and rescue thing and there are police officers everywhere too Sad

Well seems the numpties are out again at the Recycling point. Only printable name I can use, as anyone who thinks garden waste and wooden cabinets go in the cans and plastic bins is beyond belief.
What a shame as everything in those bins will now end up going to landfill. Shameful.

Is it wrong that I laughed at this post?

KormaPolice · 06/06/2020 06:21

Dog Shit
Lost dogs
Lost cats
A man threatening to headbutt someone in the queue for B&M
Anyone know why police have just gone up the road
What times are the buses
Also Royal Mail seem to have gone all can't be arses and are delivering letters where they want so lots of "does anyone know so and so, I have their letter/parcel"

Graciebobcat · 06/06/2020 06:28

Same questions every week.

What time does the post office open?

Where can I get a Chinese takeaway delivered?

Just two posts up, there are threads with last week's answer.

[quote ClearEyesFullHeartsCantLoseZ]@FluffMagnet haha! Whiffy badger! 😂😂 why the hell would you want that as a pet?![/quote]
They are very cute, DS did a petting thing for a bithday at a local zoo and the skunk arrived on a lead trotting alongside its keeper! That said I wouldn't want one as a pet, as the keeper said they can sometimes smell them when they arrive in the carpark in the morning (a mile from the skunks enclosure!!)

Travellers and the fact the council can't apparently do anything because of the covid anti eviction rules plus that the mess that they leave at the beauty spot is even worse than than the picnicers left last weekend.

Plus McDonalds and the fact that the local MP voted for the change to food standards. We appear to have a left wing community (except where travellers are concerned) who voted 63% in favour of a Conservative government Grin

Someone left a McDonalds bag in a lane leading into our village. Full on witch hunt going on right now. People tagging McDonalds and demanding that they put the car registration on all drive thru bags so perpetrators can be found.

Our village is not really a McDonalds kind of place (a fact that is depressingly represented in house prices) Sad

The boring scout leader wants to start a baking club.

Blueuggboots · 06/06/2020 08:15

Apparently Domino's are opening...we've already got a pizza shop AND a pizza van.
The water tastes vile....that had hundreds of replies...
All the local restaurants advertise.

squashyhat · 06/06/2020 08:30

Sightings of an albino squirrel, excitement at the new kebab takeaway opening and the usual lost dogs.

TravellingSpoon · 06/06/2020 08:45

Ours seems to be full of people trying to get parcels that have been delivered elsewhere, or trying to reunited parcels with the correct owner. We must have a lot of incompetent couriers in our area.

Macdonalds and rubbish are also hot topics. And people who are spending time at home and realising their windows are filthy because there are lots of requests for windows cleaners.

CoolShoeshine · 06/06/2020 08:46

Photos from doorbell cameras - who was this weird looking man knocking on doors in our close today? Cue lots of comments about dognappers in the area.
Photos naming and shaming teens who broke the cordon to get in the playground and hang out - cue argument “that’s my kid” “it’s illegal to photograph a child and put it on social media””they’re not doing any harm, it’s hard for the kids” etc etc about a month ago people would have been apoplectic with rage that they weren’t all social distancing at home rather than leaving their covid super spreading fingerprints on the play equipment.
Temporary traffic lights are back with a vengeance- they are not working properly I had to queue for 20 minutes. will people stop jumping through when the lights turn red.
Is it acceptable to buy an ice cream where the van man handles money with no gloves on?
Which takeaways are open tonight? Which pubs are doing takeaway? When does the local shop open? What are the post office opening hours? Google it you lazy bastards😀

TravellingSpoon · 06/06/2020 08:47

Oh and lots of cat posts with ' does anyone know whose this cat is, it hangs about my garden looking for food all the time so I have been feeding it' with a picture of a very healthy cat doing his six dinner sid routine!

KormaPolice · 06/06/2020 08:48

"Please help yourself to my old tat" is another one that's become popular since lockdown. People leaving all their old shitty crap that they no longer want on the end of their drives! What's that all about?!

Grandmi · 06/06/2020 08:51

Macdonalds opening and the morons queuing for two hours causing gridlock and the perfect parents still criticising the McCanns !!

RitaMills · 06/06/2020 09:00

Some idiot moaning the grass in town is looking messy and overgrown, posting pictures and blaming the council. Thankfully most people are giving him a bit of a reality check and appreciating that cutting the grass is the least of our councils worries at the moment.

iloverock · 06/06/2020 09:59

The temporary traffic lights have broken again. Why are th lights there. Well I don't know maybe check back for the last 12 months and see how many times the question has been asked.

Kids hanging out ie all the teenagers in said small town MUST be engaging in anti social behaviour and smoking drugs and they are intimidating all the poor old folks.
Actually they are just hanging out because there is fa for them to do and they get abuse of the public who walk past them.

Lost cats 🐈

Dead cats 😢

Any opportunity to have a go at the local county councillor because the grass has been cut or because the grass hasn't been cut.
Or because of a trillion other things he must be responsible for. (He's not)

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 06/06/2020 10:00

DS did a petting thing for a bithday at a local zoo and the skunk arrived on a lead trotting alongside its keeper!

I know somebody who did that at her wedding! She had a picture of her in her wedding dress cuddling it. Confused

iloverock · 06/06/2020 10:01

Oh and I got removed from the group because I dared to say that the admins on the other pages were nice.
I said this on the other page and apparently the admins were all offended.

KitNCaboodle · 06/06/2020 10:06

Pictures of people not social distancing.
Pictures of litter being left by those not social distancing.
And a madam advertising her ‘business’, which I can’t work out if it’s a piss take or not.

KitNCaboodle · 06/06/2020 10:07

Oh. And pictures of the crap people have left outside charity shops
