And.... Mask wearing.

Mask wearing, or lack of.
Emptying the glass bins, or lack of.
Dog poo, definitely not a lack of.

Are charity shops open/ accepting?
What is the best local hairdresser? Multiple times a week 🙄
No mask wearing or dog poo though!

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/07/2020 01:51

Oh yes we've had the charity shop ones too and also the tip.
Not as many parking ones as usual and nothing about the GPs phonelines.

Tillygetsit · 10/07/2020 02:08

Asking for recommendations for upholstery cleaners.
Giving away fruit at the library.
My personal favourite - a woman had her shoes stolen from outside her front door.

Gingerkittykat · 10/07/2020 02:42

Lectures about wearing masks.
I can't wear a mask because I have asthma.
I have asthma and can manage.
Will they throw me out of the shop if I don't miss a mask?

BLM demo organised for end of the month.
White lives matter.
Stop being racist.
Everyone will get COVID and die.

Pretty dull right now.

Do you recognise this dog / cat / bird which is hanging around my place ?

TannatTart · 10/07/2020 03:25

Firework or gunshot? Though tbh, that’s year round, not just around July 4th

Lockdownseperation · 10/07/2020 03:26

Complaints and praise of new bike lanes and pedestrianised shopping streets. Multiple posts with 100s of for and against comments. They are either going to destroy the town or the best thing since sliced bread. Petitions to make them permanent and petitions to get them removed. No moderate voices or even a let’s give them a week of the six months they will be up to iron out problems.

MollyBloomYes · 10/07/2020 03:33

I'm sorry....a capybara has escaped?

The new hand sanitisers stations
Which local pubs are reopening
Benches in church yard - being repaired or stolen?!!!

Registration VK10 FUB?

Topseyt · 10/07/2020 04:17

Ours are just like groundhog day. I rarely look unless I need help falling asleep.

Boomerwang · 10/07/2020 04:18

Well I don't know why we have a local fb page since nobody posts on it except for people trying to flog stuff which is meant to be against the rules. I have posted on it with stuff I've seen while working (outdoors) which gets maybe one response with 'tsk, aren't people awful?' sometimes. I also take pictures when the new summer flowers are up in town and other 'yay for our town' type things and I might get a thumbs up from someone. There are over 350 members.

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 10/07/2020 04:58

The students are getting pissed and leaving the park in a state. This is basically the only thing ever talked about. But it's true. Every morning the council uses three trucks to pick up the litter.

WinWinnieTheWay · 10/07/2020 05:06

Outrage at horses droppings on bridal path (people asked why riders can't pick it up GrinHmmConfused).

Youths from other areas hanging coming here to vandalise. It happens every summer.

People being kind and offering stuff for free (plants, books etc).

PerpendicularVincent · 10/07/2020 06:14

Can anyone recommend a tattoo artist, a sometimes heated argument over mask wearing and roadworks in the high street.

The latter is a long running saga, with people who don't live in the town itself commenting and others then chastising them for daring to do this.

beela · 10/07/2020 06:22

Ours is bombarded with body shop at home posts. Bloody mlm.

ThisAintNoDisco · 10/07/2020 06:36

Litter
Gas canisters and discarded needles
Outrage over the little shites with scooters roaming around being teenagers, and one with a backfiring Golf that races around the streets at 2am waking babies/toddlers with his stupid fucking car
Drones
