Is there something going on? So much traffic, so many people etc etc never seen it this busy..what's going on? Do people just want to get out of the house because their kids are at school? What about those who are working? It's proper busy...

Confused

How could anyone here know if there is something going on where you are?

Porfre · 21/09/2021 14:01

I'm at work?

HoldingTheDoor · 21/09/2021 14:02

It's probably just the Zombie Apocalypse.

RonniePickering · 21/09/2021 14:02

I’m working from home and you could hear a pin drop outside 🤷🏼‍♀️

TheGrumpyGoat · 21/09/2021 14:06

Where? Confused. Just looked out my window and can’t see anyone Grin

PinkPlantCase · 21/09/2021 14:08

Enjoying the last of the nice weather?

BlueberrySugar · 21/09/2021 14:08

Probably because it's nice weather.

You should phone, 101 and Highway England. They'll definitely know...

Let me just consult my crystal ball…

Surpriseat42 · 21/09/2021 14:09

Is it possible more people working from home means more breaks when it’s sunny, just wondering. No one outside my window

MichelleScarn · 21/09/2021 14:11

As a wise man said 'The times they are a-changing'

Well back to the notso new normal is it not?

vodkaredbullgirl · 21/09/2021 14:12

So many people out Shock

Mrsjayy · 21/09/2021 14:14

Not everyone works 9- 5 people traveling about for work and not everyone has school children, the world doesn't stop because you are at work 🙄

Mrsjayy · 21/09/2021 14:15

And why are you outside OP?

FlibbertyGiblets · 21/09/2021 14:16

Where are you roughly, OP?

E.g. we are Shropshire way.

If you haven't got school-age children, this is the best and most popular time of the year to have a break in the UK. Plus, the weather is gorgeous!

DappledThings · 21/09/2021 14:21

Did you mean to post this on your local Facebook page? Are there any posts already there asking about the police helicopter circling?

Mrsjayy · 21/09/2021 14:21

I live in an historic town lots of tourist out and about plus the weather is still nice .

softplay999 · 21/09/2021 14:23
