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.

Apart from dog poo,litter and teenagers - the recent hot news is that someone threatened a dog walker's dog with a penknife. They looked respectable apparently, a couple in their 60's. The hunt is on to identify them- they have been seen by the chip shop, but they aren't "from round 'yere "

I left most of ours as my dad is a troll and it did my head in. Luckily we have different surnames and aren't Facebook friends but you would think a 70 year old would know better. He sees it as sport I think.

A pub that has opened for takeaway alcohol and food sales. When weather has been nice people have bought bottles of alcohol presumably cider, lager or alcopops and left all the empty bottles on a pretty open space opposite the pub. People complaining that they should be buying the alcohol and drinking it at home, why are they drinking it there etc. Others commented it's down to the pub and they should stop trading. Others commenting pub should pay for someone to pick the bottles up and litter pick. Others saying it isn't the pubs fault they are doing their best to try and operate in the difficult time.
Everyone moaning, it's been going on for days.

Cows! Cows chasing people, was it a bull or a bullock? Cows on the cliffs, cows on the beach, cows on the common. Are the cows more aggressive this year? Cow with a chair on its head. Farmer can’t get a quad bike down the lane to get to cow with chair because of day trippers...

Day trippers (we’re in Wales so people shouldn’t be travelling to walk). Who looks local? Rucksack, day trippers? Litter, day trippers, people having sex on the beach, day trippers, people walking up the fairway on the golf course, you guessed it...

And dogs. Dogs off leads, dogs vs cows, dogs on the golf course, dog poo not in bags, dog poo in bags, dog poo bin over flowing...

copycopypaste · 07/06/2020 22:07

Dog poo...

One bloke has just had a hissy fit as someone had a go at him for not picking up his dog poo when his dog was actually having a wee and not a poo (bitches crouch so it does sometimes look like they are having a poo)

I've got a real live mansplainer on mine Grin Grin

TheHobbitMum · 07/06/2020 22:14

We have a blank panther on the loose a field of two away and we have a playing field that's been taken over by travellers. Never dull on FB

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 07/06/2020 22:26

Someone complaining about a drone flying over their garden.

Someone 'advising' about dog mess.

Someone trying to blag pallets.

Someone moaning about the local council tip.

Never a dull moment 😂

ImWorriedAboutThis · 07/06/2020 22:27

Is the tip taking various items now? - garden waste, mattresses etc and how long is the queue...
How long is the wait for McDonalds?, including lots of photos and timings from people who have queued throughout the day. This then causes people to ask “Why would you queue for that shit food?”

Our local rock painting group are complaining about people who are painting rude words on rocks (think SHIT, FUCK OFF and C*NT) and leaving them for people to find.

Off to check my local fb page

ThunderCrack · 08/06/2020 02:16

Ours is full of:
"I saw a police car, anyone know what's happened"

"Well I saw an ambulance"

"Ah, must be bad if both are out"

........
Coming from London, I find it so weird!!

trappedsincesundaymorn · 08/06/2020 05:54

Outrage about a proposed new housing development in the village....wouldn't mind so much if the person who started the petition against it didn't live in a house that was part of a "new" development built 3 years ago. Doubt she cared about the "untold damage to our beautiful village and green fields" when she rocked up with the removal van then.

GoulashSoup · 08/06/2020 08:26

@ClearEyesFullHeartsCantLoseZ for real, they went proper nuts that day and were charging round the village. The farmer has commoners rights to let them graze.

@mangofandangoo the cat wouldn't be called Boris would he??!!

Mangofandangoo · 08/06/2020 19:44

No I'm afraid not @Kitsmummy there must be more than one celebrity cat about! Worlds gone mad 😅

SheWranglesRugRats · 08/06/2020 19:52

I keep getting posts about lost dogs in Horry county, South Carolina. I do not live within five thousand miles of Horry County, South Carolina, so I doubt the pooch is round here.

HerRoyalNotness · 08/06/2020 19:56

It’s all kicking off because our county has cancelled the 4th July fireworks and went to great pains to explain the protest this week was in another county and outside city limits so they have no control over that

Cue the majority of people complaining about it saying the protest took place but we can’t celebrate our independence? Not actually thinking it through, no one realises yes you can celebrate 4th July, there will just be no fireworks put on by the city!

Idiots everywhere I look

Moo7878 · 08/06/2020 19:57

The town centre is dying, except for kebab shops.

Which kebabs shops are open.

McDonald's queues/service.

When is the tip open.

Various pubs offering takeaways.

Many questions about who makes face masks.

Lots of scam alerts.

Lots of litter/dog poo/boy racer photo shaming.

Lots of posts beginning "To the man who..." followed by an angry rant.

Lots of posts beginning with obligatory misspelling of "Delete if not aloud"...which for some reason gives me disproportionate rage...why give special permission to admins to delete your post if it's not allowed, they will anyway?! Grr.

Truzza · 08/06/2020 20:05

Our local councillor ( rural town ) decided to post a very racist rant and everyone found her partners England flag with him saluting in a hitler way 😱

She's been very quiet online since 😱😱

Every one hates her anyway, so bc she buried herself..... and now we're all having a huge rally 😂

Truzza · 08/06/2020 20:07

Also we went to KFC in larger local city
And it was empty except for me and another bloke in a van

I ate that like my life depended on it soo good

Now have a burnt mouth 👄

HerRoyalNotness · 08/06/2020 20:10

On nextdoor in the last couple of weeks we’ve had

Teens shooting squirrels with BB guns

I heard several gunshots did anyone else hear them? Reply: do you see anyone bleeding, did you call the cops?

Garage and backyard burglary’s : they better not come to mine, I have a gun and my TV is worth more than their life

Protests in the city rumour: if they come here they better be peaceful or we will use our 2nd A rights and protect our property
Yes plenty of guns in our city and we will use them

Sad. Such a great place to live Hmm

Truzza · 08/06/2020 20:14

These are so funny!!! All of them I love 💓 these posts
All of the post are so TRUE!

RightOnTheEdge · 12/06/2020 01:18
