What's kicking off in your local Facebook group?

[ClearEyesFullHeartsCantLoseZ]

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.

Someone's nicking the front bumpers off Vauxhall Corsas.

There are multiple pictures of cars with the whole front gone.

There was a post a bit ago about dog poo, The person had posted a photo of the poo, but it was old poo, all dried up.but in shape as such, then saying, If anyone can recognise this as your dogs poo, could you remove it as soon as possible.!

And someone's post, saying, OH, I just saw lightning through my window, did anyone else see it. !

The burning topic here is the system the council has put in place to allow them to control numbers, reduce queuing and thus safely reopen the local tip.

Cars with even numbers on their number plates can go on even dates 2nd, 4th, 6th etc) and odd car numbers on odd dates (3rd, 5th etc). Simples ..... ....

Apparently not. It’s all getting very heated.

Yep, new system to make social distancing safe on pavements by blocking the road with big blocks so nobody can park.

Latest post is a video of the Police tasering a man and the text was about how our Police were getting like they cops in the USA.

What the op on the post didn't say was the man was speeding, drunk and had his child in the car.

A spate of dog napping in the village which is actually pretty awful.
Issues the next town over are having with the local tip which reeks. (Bit of villag-ey smugness around that one).
A horse that got fed something it shouldnt have been by a passer by and ended up very poorly.
And the woman who runs the little museum has been putting an interesting local history thing up every day.

All going on here......there is a local parachute training centre, used to train the armed forces. They've been able to recommence training, but I'm guessing that they are limited on numbers in the plane due to social distancing. Anyway, the initial post from one resident started by complaining about how often the jump plane was going up and how training is going on for longer, followed a few days later by her whinging that the plane is now bigger and is still up a lot. Icing on the cake was when she stated that it wasn't a UK registered plane and it should "go and fly in it's own sky!" Now DH and I constantly complain about aircraft flying in our sky

Am waiting for the next round to be about the surveillance helicopter that is up a lot, looking on the flight radar app, it looks like they are surveying for HS2.

Our village fb has all the aforementioned topics, however we have a retail park/shopping mall on our doorstep so await the expected deluge.

Someone stole three plants
Is the queue for the tip shorter than it was yesterday
Painted stones caterpillar you can add to
You can leave donations for the food bank in the rectory porch
The dog poo fairy doesn't exist

Also someone apologised for breaking down at the McDonalds drive through! But luckily someone had jump leads.

I avoided mine after lockdown when there were lots of posts accusing people of ordering parcels which resulted in delivery drivers coming into the village spreading coronavirus. Its calmed down a bit.
Lost cat.
Lost cat.
Calf in top field looking poorly.
Macdonald's litter on verge (with photos). A demand for Macdonald's to print car registration on the package so the offenders can be tracked and brought to justice.
The mobile chippy is coming tonight.

Lots of whinging on the groups for 2 of my local towns that the Council are using emergency road closure measures to shut the High Streets to traffic from Monday between 10 & 4 to allow pedestrians to walk on the road as people queueing outside the many small shops (which only allow 1, 2 or 3 customers in at a time will prevent people from social distancing on the narrow pavements as the pass the queues. In one of the towns there are multiple car parks just behind the shops with gaps through to the High Street literally 30m away and additional provision is being made for disabled spaces. The other town has a Park and Ride which is back in service (although with a limit on customers) and multiple other car parks you can use outside of the main street.

A woman who put a pile of wood on her drive with a sign so people could help themselves and save her the hassle of disposing of her crap properly . She is FUMING that someone took some of it, then two weeks later decided they didn't need it and put it back on her drive. She really doesn't like being told that it's her problem to deal with, and that the council/police/whoever aren't going to come and clear it up for free.

A massive tree has fallen down.
People frothing over potential protests tomorrow.
Bird stuck in guttering.

Travellers have moved into the park (with video). Police have moved them on (with video). CCTV is being installed around the swimming lake.

Loads and loads of painted stones being left in parks. Weirdly, many 'free to a good home' vacuum cleaners.

And every day a local woman videos herself playing the piano (she takes requests).

Someone has dug up something in their garden that might be an unexploded WWII bomb.
Someone else wants to know whether anywhere that sells compost is open.

Queues at Penney's (primark) I'm in ROI.

The local school and lack of zoom lessons. Usually it's people kicking off about uniforms or hair rules at the school. Occasionally people get irate about dogs off leads etc

Someone's had a tortoise stolen.
Local youth went on a burglary spree that ended in a car chase.
Some one is up in arms about bonfires.

Should we post locations of bears.

Lots of inflammatory racist stuff sadly

I'm being really dim and google isn't helping. Is this FaceBook Local app ? If not how do you find your local pages? My search function using postcode or name brings up a few random buy and sell type posts. I feel I'm missing out :-)

@Homassy - ours is just a page someone in the village set up. Not everywhere has one.

@Homassy if you type 'place name chat' in the search part of Facebook replacing 'place name' with the name of your local area, you should see some groups you can ask to join.
