Covid19 v Joe Public

End of milking last night, I was mixing my milk taxi up, when I saw 5 likely Asian lads dressed in Sports Direct trackies walking down next door's field to the stile into ours. They stood there looking shifty, not observing any social distancing, whilst me and the milker stared them out. After a good 5 mins they climbed over and came into the yard. Ringleader walks right up to me, so I backed off, and asks which way the footpath goes.
I told him about standing back, and how it was a funny time to go walking, as it would be dark by the time they were done....."it's ok, we're joggers. Do you sell stuff here? Milk?"
I fobbed him off, and off they jogged. I was all for dialling 111, but the boss went for a ride round and found their cars in the lay by up the road (one, a license-expired taxi 🙄), so we've got their numbers. I partly expected finding a pile of wool and Larry the blind store lamb gone this morning, but all seems well. Perhaps they were just muppets out for exercise.....🤔

We do get a fair amount of young asian lads about, to give them benefit of doubt, most would normally be in Gym's and their small talk is usually about what you sell.
On social distancing, it certainly does seem to be the youth or the older ones who seem to think they are invincible though.
 
Yesterday saw some one a brick short of a load prowling round next doors yard, then a pile of rubbish behind their buildings mysteriously caught fire. Said idiot turned up here but left as tractor and tanker arrived back. Continued on to the village and tried to break into a couple of houses. :mad:
 
Been even busier today, lots more on the roads, actually heard first siren for a couple of weeks tonight, thay have not needed to use them lately. Plenty walkers about, and loads of horse riders! Thieves out and about again, same MO bending van doors. Another 2 locally, and a guy who didn't let them pull out of a junction got followed home and his drivers side window smashed before he had got out of it, all caught on someones dash cam, and still they are free :mad:

Police still doing drive by's on the closed road.....
 
I ventured out yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks, motorway was very quiet, mainly vans and trucks, i was visiting one of the few building sites still operating.
Today I had a couple of deliveries to do, just local, roads were very quiet apart from every man, woman and child push biking around, two abreast as a rule.
 
Loads more traffic today ,even on
the drive into work at 6am and seeing at least double the traffic of last week , out spraying and actually had a queue of cars behind us today on one A road first time in a fortnight
B roads just full of cyclists and masses of walkers taking the whole road up
Also noticing a new craze ,loads of fekin surgical gloves getting chucked on verge sides

The government should take control of all these holiday cottages and make them available for front line NHS staff so they can avoid having to go home to vulnerable family members

And my 80 year old mum who lives next to our cottage, and the 70 year old who lives at the other side should do what?
No one answer fits all.

Preferably they should all shut, but any that are arrogant enough to open should be prevented from making any profit on it and only allowed to let in those who need it, either nhs or homeless perhaps. Such restrictions might 'encourage' them to choose Option A.

Anyone else noticed the men in their penis-extension cars taking them out for a razz while the roads are quiet? A lot more than usual being 'opened up' on the straight past ours 😡

Saw a couple of convertible sports cars with the roof down this morning, both with white haired occupants, sun glasses on wife with a scarf on trying to look cool 🤣🤣.
 
I don't know where we are with our cottage. Some bookings have been cancelled, some rolled over till June, some rolled over till next year, no idea whether there's any money due, or not.
I wish they'd just cancel the whole year now and be done with it.
