Mothership4two - no, I suspect there may be more than one lol.

EatsShootsAndRuns · 10/07/2020 09:15

Lost cat.
Dog running in road.
Repetitive banging noises.
Bonfires.
Is the tip open.

Sherloidbaisherloid · 10/07/2020 09:24

Mask wearing, what bin is it tomorrow, the queue for the tip, kids being noisy in the street, dogs barking, dogs shitting, annoying body shop/forever living/essens etc pages being promoted every 5 mins...

BearSoFair · 10/07/2020 09:48

Is that a police helicopter? What are they doing?
Are there queues for the shopping centre?
Complaints about people on mopeds
Long running discussion trying to work out why the council keep removing public bins when there has always been a littering problem - they're making it worse!

And my favourite from a few weeks ago 'I think I've found a quail in my garden - has anyone lost one?' We're in East London so not many quails knocking around!

chocolateicing · 10/07/2020 10:11

A lot about some guy trying his luck with unlocked cars & a couple of break ins.
Dogs being off lead.
Missing cats.
Trolleys left lying around (shopping centre close by).
Best take away.
Really boring at the moment tbh, we had a couple of people have a massive argument a few months back and it kept me entertained for hours Grin

KatyaZamolodchikova · 10/07/2020 10:18

Outrage over a street being made one way
Outrage over the high street having barriers up but no work being done
A power cut this morning
A building has been give planning permission to become a restaurant - but no one know what kind of restaurant
Dog poo (with night vision cctv footage)

Howmanysleepsnow · 10/07/2020 10:21

Where is the capybara? I want to look for him!

LadyCatStark · 10/07/2020 10:31

We’ve just moved to a rural village so the FB page is funny!

Is anyone’s child starting at X high school this time? (People are answering with their child’s first name only so they must all know each other.)

Someone is giving away some X high school uniform which is nice.

Dog poo again.

Someone wants to lobby for a skate park to be built next to the local park which is an excellent idea but everyone else thinks it’ll encourage ‘youths’ 🙄.

mindutopia · 10/07/2020 11:31

Someone found a lost wandering pig on ours. Owner eventually located and pig collected. 🐷

Morred · 10/07/2020 12:31

@WinWinnieTheWay

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).

Why are the brides leaving horse poo? Grin

Where is the capybara? I want to look for him!

Well, someone should! I can't leave reception!

Absoluteunit · 10/07/2020 13:09

Ours is more interesting than usual atm. A local landlord has put an "All Lives Matter" sign outside his pub Angry

NerrSnerr · 10/07/2020 13:18

We have outrage as there's a small local music festival over August bank holiday and they're planning to go ahead after Boris' announcement yesterday. They don't have a licence yet so I think it's a non starter.

Lots of 'I saw this cat outside my house- is it a stray?'

Body shop at home all the time, we are overrun. Our village also has about 8 Avon ladies.

There haven't been any fireworks in a while- that's what usually causes major agro around here.

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/07/2020 15:45

The escaped capybara has been seen by one of the 2 rivers running through our town. The owners are thought to be either the local wildlife park in the next village or a private owner in a second village. The Facebook post had video footage in the original post and a second walker has also spotted it.

DomDoesWotHeWants · 10/07/2020 16:03

All of the above, with the notable exception of the capybara.

Usual racist nonsense and a lost shopping trolley.

NerrSnerr · 10/07/2020 16:58

The other thing I missed is laughing gas canisters everywhere and now news stories about how they damage your spine.

Angelnix · 10/07/2020 17:44

Who is and isn't going to the pub now that they're open

The shit show that is Hermes and Yodel, both incompetent and unable to deliver parcels correctly

We're still having multiple people asking how long the queue is at Tesco/Aldi/McDonald's

And some utter twat who claims that the air ambulance is a waste of money after it landed on the village green recently. He's a moron, pretty much everyone agrees and no-one is defending him!

MulberryPeony · 10/07/2020 17:50

Fly tipping
Quad/dirt bikes
Dog poo
Illegal rave
Animal cruelty

GardenersDelight · 10/07/2020 18:15

Bins not being replaced tidily after being emptied!!

IHaveBrilloHair · 10/07/2020 18:39

@MrsMoastyToasty
I read that as, "a second wanker has also spotted it"Grin

MrsMoastyToasty · 10/07/2020 19:16

@IHaveBrilloHair. ....our town has it all! Capybaras, wankers, walkers and JRM as local MP.
